    5. Running the cable through the main cabinet Remove the playfield glass and lift up the playfield as shown. REMOVE THE PINBALLS! Run the cable through the cable clamps as shown below. Leave any leftover cable slack neatly here so the cable will not get stretched when the back box is folded down.

    7. Installing the PinPAC TH2 Plate. Insert the PinPAC TH2 Front panel into the open Tournament hole. The volume control faces up. Future product revisions will be slightly different than what is shown here.
  • Page 9 Thread the green ground wire and the pin header cable through the slotted opening of the PinPAC TH2 rear mounting plate as shown. Hand tightten the two 4-40 lock nuts onto the Pem studs of the PinPAC TH2 front plate.
  • Page 10 Remove the ¼ inch screw on the lock down latch and then fasten the mid lug of the green safety wires are shown. Caution!! You must attaches these ground wires as show!! Make sure the screw is snug when you screw it back in. If for some reason, the hole is stripped (like mine was on my Aerosmith) completely remove the bracket and repair the hole! Please contact us if you need help.
  • Page 11: Reassembly

    8. Reassembly Lower the playfield and reinstall the pinballs. Reinstall the playfield glass. 9. Setup Menu Adjustments Power up your game! There are two menu sections we will need to adjust now that the headphone kit is installed. Beware! You may need to power cycle the machine to get a menu setting to work properly! You can make the setting, but it may not fully work until the power is cycled or the game menu is entered and existed a few times.
  • Page 12 Go to “Front Volume Knob” (menu #79 on Aerosmith) For home use games, keep this setting on default so you can use the headphone knob to control the games volume when the headphones are not plugged in. For games on location, set to “HEADPHONES VOL. ONLY”. This setting prevents the customer from adjusting the games volumen.
  • Page 13: Setup Menu Part 2

    Not all Spike 2 machines will have the same menu! The VOL menu is not numbered so it makes it difficult to navigate. Scroll through the VOL menu to become familiar with the menu items. Menu item “ADJUST HEADPHONE VOLUME” is basically the same menu that the PinPAC TH2 volume control adjusts. No need to touch this menu.
