2.4 Starpoint Electronic Counter
The “Starpoint Electronic Counter” is an electronic counter designed to replace all traditional
mechanical meters in a gaming machine. It is located in the refill meter position near the coin
entry bezel.
To read the SEC meter the machine should be in door open mode. The cancel button should
be pressed once. The SEC and alphanumeric will display the name and value of the selected
meter (Full details in the Generic machine manual).
Pressing the cancel button again continues to the next meter until the first meter is shown
again. The button next to the cancel will step the meters back.
To exit the SEC read then press the RH1 button.
(Refer to section 2.11 for button definitions).

The host machine controls the display and contents of each meter in sequence on the
