ArcadePay Controller Installation Overview
ArcadePay Controller Installation Overview
Use this guide to choose the correct ArcadePay Controller install method, connect the machine safely, and test before leaving the location.
Before You Start
Power off the machine before connecting or disconnecting wiring. If you are unsure which connector applies, stop and contact ArcadePay Support before cutting or wiring anything.
Method 1: Easy Coin Mechanism Connector
Use this for many standard machines with a coin mechanism connector. The connector sits inline so the original coin mechanism keeps working while ArcadePay is added.

- Power off the machine.
- Unplug the factory connector from the coin mechanism.
- Plug the Easy Connector into the coin mechanism.
- Plug the factory connector into the pass-through side.
- Plug the 6-pin end into the ArcadePay Controller.

Method 2: CandyMachines And Neofuns Plug-And-Play
Some CandyMachines and Neofuns machines have a dedicated 4-pin or 6-pin connector.

- Power off the machine.
- Locate the matching connector inside the machine.
- Plug the harness into the machine connector.
- Plug the 6-pin side into the ArcadePay Controller.
Method 3: Hardwire
Use hardwire only when the machine does not have a compatible connector.
