I have a 60-1 multi pcb that I am going to be be putting in a cocktail cabinet. I am in the process of wiring the cabinet right now and was wondering about the test switch wire and service switch wire on the Jamma harness. What is the difference between the two? Which one should I wire in or does it matter which one I use?When wiring in either the test switch or service switch do I just run the wire to one of the terminals on the switch and a ground wire to the other terminal on the switch?
 
yes, you wire test and service just like any other button. from jamma connector to one side of normally open contact(microswitch/leaf switch). ground to the other side of normally open contact. you need both for the 60-in-1. there are a lot of ways to do them. i would not use a "switch" that you flip. i usually use standard buttons or very small momentary switches.
 
You could use whatever switch you want. However, a momentary is ideal. You just push the button, instead of having to flip the switch, on and off for the same action.

You also want to wire both, a service, and test switch. The reason for this is, the test switch gets you into the menu system, it also goes forward in the menu system.

The Service switch allows you to go backwards in the menu system.

If you miss something, or want to go back for something, there is about 60 screens to go throughto get you there.

I just got my first 60-1 up and running a few days ago. What a great board, lots of fun.

Another thing to remember, is to save the settings in the menu system, you need to hit P1 start button. You don't need to do this after every change, however you must do this after the volume adjust screen.

Thanks for the info regarding button vs switch and how to work it also. That's good to know all that, I am going to finish wiring my cabinet tonight so I will make sure I use 2 push buttons and no switch.
