Unpacking & System Description Section: 1 Unpacking & System Description Introduction The NiteHAWK jukebox is part of a much larger system – the AMI Entertainment network. This network is a digital platform that delivers music across the Internet to Rowe Jukeboxes anywhere.
The jukebox is shipped with all major components except the Volume Control Unit in place. Save all tie-down hardware in case the NiteHAWK must be moved to another location. 1. Remove the shipping carton with care: Do not use shipping hooks or sharp tools that could damage the jukebox cabinet.
IMPORTANT: If replacing a WP-100 series CD Box or an NDW-1 Duet Box, use the level to mark a line that is exactly 4 1/2" directly below the existing holes. This will allow the use of existing lower holes in the wall and place the NiteHAWK at the same recommended height.
To see the Hanger Bracket alignment to the holes in the back panel, open the Main Door. 1. As you lift the NiteHAWK to the Hanger Bracket, look through the opened door to be sure the keyhole slots of the NiteHAWK Back Panel are aligned with the spools of the Hanger Bracket.

Sound System Setup NiteHAWK Internet Jukebox Speakers connected across terminals E1 to E7 or T1 to T7 bypass the transformer and are driven directly by an amplifier channel. Each transformer provides 70V terminals for driving 70V speakers, and provides taps (E1- E6 or T1-T6) for driving extension speakers at a lower volume.
NiteHAWK Internet Jukebox Sound System Setup Low Impedance Speakers Low impedance speakers (8- or 4-ohm) can be used when the connecting cable is less than 100 feet. Keep the following two things in mind when wiring your speakers: 1. No more than one 4-ohm speaker should be connected to a speaker line. If several 4-ohm speakers are to be used, each speaker should have its own line.

Changing music, collecting statistic figures, and changing other location-specific features can be done using the AMI Entertainment Secure Web site via the Internet. Detailed instructions on how to use AMI Entertainment’s Web Application are located in the included manual “Network Setup, Jukebox Operation, Operator Setup Screens” and on the Web site itself.
Routine Service NiteHAWK Internet Jukebox Touchscreen Calibration The following procedure describes how to calibrate the touchscreen: 1. Power on the jukebox and allow it to complete the startup sequence. 2. Open the door of the jukebox. 3. Locate the “Calibrate” button on the Computer Core. Refer to Figure 6–1.
Routine Service Air Filter Filtered cooling air is provided for the components inside the NiteHAWK via a fan mounted on the bottom of the jukebox. The speed of this fan is controlled by the Computer Core – if the temperature is moderate, the fan runs at a low speed, but as the temperature inside the box rises, the fan is driven faster.
Troubleshooting Section: 7 Troubleshooting Introduction The NiteHAWK Jukebox incorporates several modules which plug in for rapid service. The most likely cause of jukebox problems is: 1. Continuous or intermittent open circuits in a harness. The cause can be broken or cut wires, a damaged terminal, or a bad terminal crimp.
