Egyptian Archway V2

These instructions are applicable to the following products:

• MM-IML-ARCH

V2 was implemented April 2022; orders prior to this date please consult V1

DANGER ELECTRICAL SHOCK
Pinball machines have high voltages which can cause DANGER TO LIFE AND LIMB. TURN POWER OFF and UNPLUG PINBALL MACHINE prior to installation. Pinball machines are high voltage and can cause electrical shock.
SAFETY GLASSES are also recommended while working with or installing pinball parts. 

Please follow these safety instructions as well as all installation instructions.  Failure to follow these instructions may result in damage to the pinball machine, accessory or other parts. Please see our Disclaimer for associated risks and responsibilities (Section 13 in our Terms of Service) prior to installation. 

Images included in these instructions are of an installed prototype and may vary from your product slightly. 

If you have questions or concerns regarding the proper installation of this part, please contact us for assistance.

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.

These instructions are applicable to the following products:

• MM-IML-ARCH

1. Remove the screws at the entrance of the right ramp. Place screw through holes in base of arch and replace screws.
2. Remove the screw in the acrylic above the drop targets. This will make feeding the wire through easier.
   
3. Feed the wires through the hole in the playfield that lies behind the drop targets. It is the same hole the spotlight wires feed through. You can trace the the spotlight wires to find this hole. The picture is from under the play field. Using the 1' section of wire may make this easier. 
4. Locate a GI bulb that is near the hole up to the archway wiring. This photo shows two options but any GI bulb can be utilized.
   
   
   
5. Utilize a hex nut driver to remove the factory GI bulb. (Note: photo not from Iron Maiden and shows replacement bulb already installed). 
   
6. Remove the existing 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.
   .
7. Attach the wiring from the Interactive Lighting Board to the replacement bulb wiring.
   
8. Locate the desired trigger for the archway lighting (recommended is the scoop flasher which is located directly under the ramp (see manual photo of Flasher 169) however any light can be used. Use the instructions that follow to attach and configure the light sensor. 
   
   
   
   NOTE THE FOLLOWING PHOTOS ARE GENERIC AND DO NOT SHOW THE IRON MAIDEN PLAYFIELD
9. Unscrew the source lighting.  The example shown is an LED board using a screw driver or hex nut driver.
   
10. Slide the light sensor wiring through the bracket for next step. Plug the wiring from the GI bulb (step 7) and from the archway light (step 3) 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.
    
11. Reattach the source lighting with bracket underneath leaving enough slack in the light sensor wiring to put the light sensor under the trigger light.
    
12. Next, position the light sensor so that it is pointing toward the source LED. Ensure the light sensor is only receiving its signal from the source light and not from other lighting.
    
13. Tidy up the wiring along other wiring in the game. Please note you will likely have longer wiring than is required for your particular installation. 
14. Lower the playfield and turn on your game to test the features functionality. Open the Diagnostics menu and navigate to LED test. Use the flipper buttons to navigate to the appropriate trigger light (scoop flasher recommended). Ensure that the archway is illuminating with the trigger light. 

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.
