When removing screws from the playfield, reinstall by first turning them counter-clockwise to match the original groove in order to respect the integrity of the playfield wood.
- Remove the two screws from Gene's hood.
- Remove acrylic below the hood and set aside.
- Remove two of the three screws on plastic 31.
- Lift the playfield and locate the highlighted areas found in the photo below. These instructions assume use of the Lite Lock to trigger the illumination however any insert can be utilized to trigger the Demon Mouth Lite.
-
Utilize a hex driver to remove one of the two existing GI brackets. Remove the bulb by pushing in slightly while twisting and replace with the bulb provided. Push in and twist until it locks into place. You can also adjust the height of the bulbs dome so that it is closer to the top of the bayonet. Reattach the bayonet to the bottom of the playfield. one of the two GI bulbs and replace with the bulb provided with the product.
- Attach the wiring from the Interactive Lighting Board to the replacement bulb wiring seen in the previous step. See the following photo for details.
- Slide the light sensor wiring through the small black bracket, locate the Lock Lite target insert (as indicated in playfield photo as #1) and attach the light sensor bracket using the nut shown in the photo below. Attach the wiring from the GI bulb (step 3) and from the Demon Light into the Light Sensor board.
The Light Sensor board features a sensitivity adjustment (shown with arrow) to fine tune the triggering of the lighting feature. A small screw driver is required to make sensitivity adjustments. See below for details on making these adjustments. - Position the light sensor so that it is pointing toward the LED inside the LOCK insert which is located under the node board. The more the sensor is positioned inside the insert to block other lighting from reaching it, the better.
- Next, feed the Demon Mount LED strip and wire through bottom of playfield in the hole shown.
- Mount LED strip face down on the acrylic (set aside previously) using tape provided. Slide acrylic into back of Gene's head. Note: when installing both versions, mount LED strips side by side.
- Reattach plastic 31
- Reattach hood by aligning clear acrylic with holes in hood. Adjust the clear plastic by moving it around in Gene's mouth (from the front) as shown until aligned. Reattach hood.
Installation is complete.
Light Sensitivity Adjustments
Once the ILS board is installed you may find that the output light may have some ghosting (slightly lit at all times) or that it isn't lighting bright enough. This is where the sensitivity adjustment comes into play.
Take great care when adjusting the ILS sensitivity screw, it is a small delicate item. It is best to do these adjustments with the power off for safety. Turning the adjustment clockwise will make the sensor less sensitive to light, and counter-clockwise more sensitive to light. If the output light is staying lit when the signal LED is off (ghosting), turn the adjustment a hair clockwise and test again, repeat until the desired effect is achieved. This may result in a slightly dimmer output light if over
adjusted.
The goal is to have as bright a light as possible without any ghosting.If the output light is too dim, turn the adjustment counter-clockwise a hair and re-test, repeat until the controlled
light is bright, and has no ghosting.
