Purpose

When replacing or installing CenterEdge Play game readers, there may be existing holes left behind from previously installed readers. An installation template can help to properly align the new reader and cover any existing holes when possible.

Instructions

1. Carefully remove the current/old game reader from the game. This will likely leave behind existing mounting holes from the previous installation.

2. Position the mounting template on the game in a position that covers the existing holes whenever possible.

   

3. Use a level tool to ensure the template is perfectly straight. Leveling can be done two ways:

   • Level the top or bottom of the template: Place the level on top or at the bottom edge of the template. Hold the level gently in place and adjust the template as needed until the bubble in the level is centered between the vertical lines.
   • Level the side of the template: Place the level vertically along the left or right side of the template. Rest the side edge of the level against the vertical edge of the template and hold it gently in place. Adjust the template until the bubble is centered between the vertical lines to ensure the template is straight from top to bottom.
   Proper alignment is important so the reader sits correctly and looks clean after installation.

   

4. Once the template is level, mark the drill locations using the holes indicated on the template.

   

5. Drill the marked holes into the mounting surface.

   Ensure you have a firm hold on the drill before beginning. Apply steady pressure and maintain a secure grip, as additional pressure may be required to initially puncture the plate and begin drilling the hole. What is the size needed?

   

6. Feed the wires through the back of the largest hole in the mounting surface.
   • This is typically done by opening the game door and feeding the wires through from the back of the mounting area.
     

7. Attach the wire to the game reader and ensure the connection is secure.

   

8. Align the game reader screws with the drilled holes in the mounting surface.

9. Before fully tightening the bolts, confirm the reader is level and properly aligned with the template markings.

   

10. Once alignment is confirmed, tighten the mounting bolts to secure the reader to the game.
