Recommended
Maximum Power
Measurement
Process for a Third
Party AC Device
All measurements shall be performed under maximum normal load. Maximum normal load is
defined as all available features, inputs, and outputs that were designed to be used are in an
active state. The test shall be performed under normal operating conditions. As part of the
normal operating conditions, the test should be performed at +55C (131F) ambient
temperature to replicate the Blade internal cabinet temperature. In addition, the measurements
shall not be performed under any abnormal operating conditions such as a fault state or short.
To ensure consistency for the maximum power measurements for the third party AC device, the
following procedure is recommended:

16-1408191
Connect an AC RMS current meter in series with the "HOT" (AC in) for the third party AC
device.
Plug in the third party AC device and ensure that the device has its maximum load applied to
it without introducing any abnormal operating condition (i.e. If the device has 5 ports available
for use, ensure that all 5 ports are being utilized at their normal operating conditions).
Place the AC RMS current meter to Amps and "peak" detect.
Exercise the Third Party AC Device for 5 minutes. This exercise for the third party AC device
will mimic actual use.
Record the AC RMS current from the meter.
Measure the AC voltage.
Multiply the AC RMS current with the AC voltage to determine power.
Ensure that the power calculated does not exceed 60 Watts.

The denomination restriction is not expected to affect casino implementations of these themes,
as most operators configure either single denominations or a range of similar denominations.
The denomination restriction ins required to address the potential for multiple progressive wins
with a single spin. Since the strike price for the progressive is scaled based on the lowest
configured denomination, and the players contribution increases at larger denominations, it is
possible that a player may win an excessive number of progressives on a single spin without the
restriction.

Ladder Safety
Observe the following guidelines when using a ladder:
Read and follow all instructions from the ladder manufacturer, including labels and markings
on the ladder.
Avoid electrical hazards. Do not place a ladder on cables or near electrical outlets.
Always inspect the ladder prior to using it. If the ladder is damaged, it must be removed from
service and tagged until repaired or discarded.
Do not use a self-supporting ladder (for example, a step ladder) as a single ladder or in a
partially closed position.
Do not use the top step or rung of a ladder as a step or rung unless it was designed for that
purpose.
Always maintain a three-point (two hands and a foot, or two feet and a hand) contact on the
ladder when climbing. Keep your body near the middle of the step and always face the ladder
when climbing.
Only use ladders and appropriate accessories (ladder levelers, jacks, or hooks) within design
specifications and for intended purposes.
Ladders must be free of any slippery material on the rungs, steps, or feet.
Use a ladder only on a stable and level surface.
Do not place a ladder on boxes, barrels, or other unstable bases to obtain additional height.
Do not move or shift a ladder while a person or equipment is on the ladder.
A ladder placed in any location where it can be displaced by other work activities must be
secure to prevent displacement, or a barricade must be erected to keep traffic away from the
ladder.
Be sure that all locks on an extension ladder are properly engaged.
Do not exceed the maximum load rating of a ladder. Be aware of the ladder load rating and of the
weight it is supporting, including the weight of any tools or equipment.

Game Cleaning
CAUTION
This game must not be cleaned by a water jet, and is not suitable for installation in an area
where a water jet is used.
Cleaning Game Use a small vacuum cleaner to clean hard-to-reach and narrow places in the cabinet. Then,
Cabinet use a non-ammonia, non-alcohol cleaning solution to clean the game exterior. Never spray the
solution directly onto the game. Instead, spray a soft, lint-free cloth and wipe the game exterior.
Cleaning LCDs A 50/50 mixture of distilled water and isopropyl alcohol is acceptable to use on the LCD. Never
spray liquid directly onto the LCD. Spray liquid onto a non-abrasive, soft cotton cloth and wipe
the LCD. Never use materials such as paper towels, which can cause scratches and damage
the LCD.
CAUTION
The following cleaners should NOT be used on the LCD as they can cause damage to the
touch screen:
Acetone
Ethyl acid
Ethyl alcohol
Ammonia
Methyl chloride
Cleaning Bill This Bill Acceptor should be cleaned with a lint-free cloth or cotton swab lightly moistened in a
Acceptor mild detergent to clean the optical sensor lenses and magnetic heads.
Cleaning Printer Use a soft brush or a lint-free cloth lightly moistened in a mild detergent to clean the ticket path.
