  • Page 6 Plug the 7-pin connector into the CN3 male pin header on the Spike 2 CPU board. NOTE: Pinnovators PinSUB Spike subwoofer board will work perfectly with your installation!
  • Page 7 Run the cable under the two cable clamps. No need to remove the cable clamp, just tug on the top of it to open it. Run cable under the second cable clamp and then drop the remaining cable into the main cabinet.

  • Page 8: Running The Cable Through The Main Cabinet

    5. Running the cable through the main cabinet Remove the playfield glass and lift 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.
  • Page 9 Place the cable under the front cable clamp as shown below.
  • Page 10 Thread the cable through the Expando braided sleeving as shown. Cut the cable tie to open the end of the Expando Sleeving. Optional: You can run the Pinnovators cable next to the sleeving.
  • Page 11 Secure the cable to the door wire harness. There are two possible ways. You can snip the cable tie on the mounting pads and then resecure the cable harness with the new Pinnovators cable using the included cable ties. Secure the Pinnovators cable to the wiring harness using the included cable ties (not shown).

  • Page 12: Front Door Preparation

    Remove the two coin door plugs using pliers as shown below. Store the plugs inside the machine using one of the leftover Pinnovators shipping bags in case you want them someday and also to keep them away from small children.

  • Page 13: Installing The Pinpac 12 Control Board

    DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN or you could break off the stud. Insert the Pinnovators control panel board over the two standoffs. Fasten the board to the standoffs using the two included lock nuts. Use an 11/32 socket to gently tighten the nuts.

  • Page 14: Reassembly

    Insert the Pinnovators cable into the keyed connector on the back of the control panel. Fasten the wire ties completely now. Place the included knob spacer guage tool over the volume shaft and then line up the volume knob so the hole with the tightening set screw is over the flat part of the volume control.

  • Page 15: Setup Menu Adjustments

    9. Setup Menu Adjustments Power up your game! The following screen shots were taken on an Aerosmith LE using V1.10.0 SYS 3.01.0 OS 2.06.0. Your menus may be different. 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 exited a few times.
  • Page 16 If set to “YES”: Headphone volume can go extremely high! Be careful! The headphone max volume will be discussed in the next setting section. Set to “YES” for home use. If set to “NO”: The headphone volume will max out at about 43/44 and will also depend on what the game volume is set to! Set to “NO”...

  • Page 17: 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 12 volume control adjusts. No need to touch this menu.
