16-022128-03
4 About this Guide: General Information
6 Disconnect the power supply cord from the Power Entry Assembly, Figure 3 (A).
Figure 3 Location of the AC INPUT plug.
7 If applicable, disconnect the Top Box line cord from the outlet.
Special Instructions Whenever accessing any printed circuit boards (PCBs) or components in direct contact with PCBs,
for PCBs including EPROMs, CompactFlash Cards, and PCB connectors, use the following procedure to
prevent ESD damage to sensitive components.
ESD: Opening the game and unplugging the Power Supply Cord defeats the grounding system on
the game, as the grounding pin on the Power Supply Cord ultimately connects the game to ground.
1 Verify that the game power switch is set to Off.
2 Verify that the ESD wrist strap is firmly secured to a game ground braid.
3 Reconnect the Power Supply Cord to the Power Entry Assembly.
4 Complete all necessary PCB or component handling steps.
5 If additional steps are required for this procedure, ensure the game power switch is still set to
Off, and disconnect the game Power Supply Cord before proceeding.

Bluebird Upright (BBU) cabinet and maintains most of the features and functionality of the current
BBU product including:
Backwards compatible with previous software versions to allow same functionality as existing
Reel Controller Board Assembly
Same CPU-NXT2, Hard Meter, and Bulkhead Board
Features include:
Updated reel mechanisms and mounting system
Updated cabinet design to support reel system and arm mechanism mountings
Additional design improvements include the following:

Transmissive LCD with 3 and 5 Reel versions
5-Reel version compatible for G + 4x5 Themes
Wider 5-Reel mechanism than Mechanical Reels for the 4-Reel or 3-Reel games
Single Reel Tray for use with 3 and 5 Reel versions

16-022128-03
Base Game To view the game cabinet, see the dimensions (in inches and centimeters) of the game, Figure 1-2.
Dimensions and Figure 1-2 Game Dimensions.
Weights
Dimensions Height = 55-7/8 with lamp (140.57 cm)

Width = 24-1/2 with arm mechanism (61.46 cm)
Depth = 22-1/2 (56.38 cm)
Weight The weight of the game is described in Table 1-2.

Table 1-2 Game weight.
Game Part Weight
Base Game 251.6 lbs (114.12 kg)
Skid 25 lbs (11 kg)
CAUTION: Verify that any non-WMS game stand specifications meet this weight requirement
before mounting the game. Using inadequate game stands voids the WMS Warranty and may lead
to distortion of the game cabinet, including the inability to close and lock the Main Door.
Power Dissipation Power dissipation and BTU ratings in Table 1-3 lists the BB2. Current values for all machines are
based on a 120VAC configuration, with Bill Acceptor installed.
The British Thermal Units (BTUs) were calculated by using the following equation:
BTUs = 3.413 * voltage * current
Any increase in BTUs due to actual work performed (spinning Hopper motor) was neglected. The
BTU calculation for game play should be used when determining air conditioning requirements, as
Hopper payout occurs infrequently when compared to standby and play conditions.
Table 1-3 Heat/Electricity Dissipation.

Type of Current Power Dissipation
BTUs STANDBY CURRENT (no Hopper) 831 BTUs
STANDBY CURRENT (Hopper on) 2.03A
BTUs STANDBY (Hopper on) 889 BTUs
STANDBY MAX CURRENT 2.67A

Tower Light The two-stage Tower Light on top of the game indicates game status. The game employs both
Codes stages of the Tower Light to convey information. The following table contains the typical Tower Light
indicators (some jurisdictions have different Tower Light functionality). The upper stage of the Tower
Light is the Attendant indicator; the lower stage is the Service indicator. The lights illuminate for
several reasons, and characterize the exact nature of the event causing the indication. Each light
has five states--Off, On, Slow Flash, Medium Flash, and Fast Flash. Fast Flash blinks eight times a
second, Medium Flash blinks four times a second, and Slow Flash blinks twice per second. The
Tower Light codes are described in Table 4-1.
