SERVICE AND OPERATION MANUAL

Games congured for North America operate on 60 cycle electricity only. These games will not operate in countries with 50 cycle electricity (Europe UK, Australia).

Stern Pinball machines are assembled in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, USA; each pinball machine has unique characteristics that make it a one-of-a-kind American-made

product. Each machine will have variations in appearance resulting from differences in the machine’s particular wood parts, individual silk screened art and mechanical

assemblies. Stern Pinball has inspected each game element to ensure it meets our quality standards.

WARNING

IMPORTANT HEALTH WARNING: PHOTOSENSITIVE SEIZURES - A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, in-

cluding ashing lights or patterns. Even people with no history of seizures of epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause “photosensitive epileptic seizures”

due to certain visual images, ashing lights or patterns. Symptoms can include light-headedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs,

disorientation, confusion, momentary loss of awareness, and loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects.

IMMEDIATELY STOP PLAYING AND CONSULT A DOCTOR IF YOU EXPERIENCE ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS.

SPIKE SYSTEM AND NODE GUIDE

2. SPIKE SYSTEM AND NODE GUIDE

2.1 SPIKE SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The SPIKE Pinball system is a rugged, distributed, and em-

bedded platform custom-designed for the rigors of the pinball

machine environment. SPIKE takes advantage of modern tech-

nologies to deliver an immersive pinball experience that supports

modern features, reduces cabling, and increases serviceability

and reliability.

A Stern Pinball machine based on the SPIKE system will have at

least two nodes networked together with the SPIKE node bus,

a custom industrial pinball control bus that is designed around

industry standards and optimized for the pinball environment.

The primary CPU node is networked to one or more input/output

nodes over standard Category 5 UTP (unshielded twisted pair)

ethernet cabling.

There are ve primary types of nodes that are found in the game.

• CPU node (Node 0) - The primary node that controls other

nodes in the system. Contains the primary game software

for the system and provides SPIKE node bus power for other

nodes.

• Cabinet 48V node (Node 1) - Specialized node with specic

inputs and outputs for coin doors, tilt mechanisms, and other

bottom-cabinet devices.

• 48V playeld node - Controls high power devices such

as coils and ashers, and also supports a few switch and

low-power outputs. Powered by the system 48V power sup-

ply.

• Light and switch node - High-density switch and low-power

LED outputs, bus-powered from the node bus. These boards

contain as many 32 switch inputs and light outputs.

• Node extensions - These sub-nodes add additional low-pow-

er input and outputs to a specic Power or I/O node and are

connected with simple serial bus.

2.2 NODE BUS CABLING

The SPIKE node bus utilizes standard Ethernet-style RJ45 8-pin

modular jacks, and off-the-shelf Category 5e or better ethernet

cabling. The node bus is electrically different from Ethernet and

does not utilize Ethernet or TCP/IP protocols or signaling stan-

dards. SPIKE nodes are not compatible with standard computer

networking equipment.

CAUTION: Plugging a SPIKE Node or CPU board into a standard

Ethernet port may damage one or both devices and void your

warranty.

2.3 SYSTEM POWER

The SPIKE System is powered from an 48V DC power supply

bus. Each SPIKE node converts this voltage to lower voltages

required by the node and its specic components. A SPIKE 48V

node typically controls high-power outputs such as game coil

mechanisms and high-brightness LEDs. These powered nodes

are supplied directly with 48V system power. SPIKE standard I/O

nodes are low-power nodes that read switch inputs and output to

standard-brightness LEDs. Standard I/O nodes use the node bus

power, which is supplied by the main CPU node over the node

bus modular jack connectors.

2.4 SPIKE NODE ADDRESSES

Each SPIKE node has a unique address ranging from 0 to 15. Not

all addresses are used in all games. Nodes can be of the same

part number, so the address is specied on the DIP switches on

each node. When replacing a node, be certain that the correct

address is set. Nodes can have 3-position and 4-position DIP

switches. Refer to the appropriate table to set the address for

each type of Node. The correct address for a node can be found

in the SPIKE node reference section of the manual or in the game

diagnostic software. Address 0 is reserved for the backbox CPU

node, where the game software resides. Address 1 is reserved for

the cabinet node, located inside the coin door. These two nodes

do not have DIP switches as their address is not congurable.

SPIKE SYSTEM AND NODE GUIDE

SPIKE SYSTEM AND NODE GUIDE CONTINUED

2.5 SPIKE NODE PROGRAMMING

The SPIKE nodes are smart nodes that have on-board pro-

cessors and run embedded code. The nodes are programmed

automatically by the CPU node whenever software updates are

installed to the CPU. When replacing a node, the CPU node will

detect and update the node to the latest software with no user

intervention. Always replace nodes with the power to the game

turned OFF.

2.6 SPIKE SYSTEM TERMINOLOGY

MULTI GENERAL ILLUMINATION LIGHTING

General Illumination Lighting is two or more lights powered by

one control source. These are often a number of LEDs connect-

ed in parallel and the system controls these as one large LED. A

missing LED will not affect these circuits, however a shorted LED

can cause the entire string of LEDs to turn off.

SINGLE LIGHTS

Single lights and LEDs are direct-controlled from SPIKE node

boards. A common power source is grounded by individual

transistors to turn individual LEDs on and off. Groups of LEDs,

usually by node connector, share a common power source, so if

a group of LEDs is out, check the wiring for the power source.

FLASHERS

SPIKE games treat ashers the same as single LEDs that draw

more power. Flashers are controlled from the same circuits that

power regular lights.

DRIVERS

A driver is a circuit that controls a high power-device such as a

coil, magnet, or motor. Each device has a common 48V power

source that is then connected to ground by a dedicated control

transistor. Each driver is protected against shorting, static elec-

tricity, and over-current conditions. Take caution as 48V is always

present on a device even when it is not energized.

OPTOS

Certain types of optical switches (“optos”) require external signal

conditioning. For these optos, they will interface to a SPIKE node

via an opto signal conditioning board. Other optical switches

connect directly to the Spike node board.

System Protections

CAUTION: Unless explicitly directed by an Authorized Stern Re-

pair technician, perform ALL work on your pinball machine with

the power disabled!

INPUT/OUTPUT PROTECTIONS

SPIKE features built-in short-circuit, static electricity, and other

protections to maximize reliability. If an LED, coil or other device

shorts, it will be disabled but will not shut down the entire system

in most circumstances. Groups of LEDs, coils, and switches often

share common power supplies or other circuits, so it is possible

that a bad device will affect the group of related devices and

require removal or repair to x the group. The system diagnostics

will inform the technician of shorted or otherwise malfunctioning

devices whenever possible. While the system is protected against

permanent damage, it is strongly recommended to repair or

replace these bad components as soon as possible to minimize

downtime and maximize game earnings.
