SENSOR PAD DIAGNOSTICS The foot detection consists of 2 infrared emitter boards close to cabinet and 2 detector boards on the far edge of the hop pad. These boards create 24 beams of infrared light. The players feet interrupt these beams and the game interprets this as hops. The game is constantly reading these beams and re-calibrating the position of the player as they move across the pad There are multiple diagnostic tools that will help in troubleshooting a faulty hop pad:...
Page 21
SENSOR PAD DIAGNOSTICS Step 1: The most common issue is a dirty emitter or detector on the pad itself. If a beam is blocked the game will not register anything until the obstruction is removed. Solution: Clean the clear plexi that is protecting the emitters and detectors on both sides of pad.
