If it's the same as the EPOCH machines I've worked on before, you need to press TWO test buttons, one on the EPOCH board, and one mounted on the side of the hopper housing. You'll hopefully see 2 large buttons on the side of the hopper, one red and one green.

Press the one on the EPOCH board, and the one on the hopper (pretty sure it's the green one?) at the same time, and it should put the machine into test mode, and probably play a sound effect at the same time.

Navigate through the menu options using the hold buttons, I think you select with the start button but am probably wrong.

I believe Test 3.1 is lamps in order, and 3.2 is flash (all lamps flash on and off together), but again it's been a while and I'm probably wrong

Pah, I thought Red would be reset, as in Scorpion 4. Is Green hopper top-up on EPOCH then?

It sure is, you can be forgiven though, I remember my first few months of training many moons ago it annoyed me as to why different techs used different buttons for different things. S4's were a nightmare as I would always without fail press the red one first and then swear and curse because I would have to wait for it to initialise again.

PS, any thoughts on the next DangerBen production?

... shhhh!!

I'll see what I can do later, but I've had to spend this morning on some more house-'getting rid of crap'-work
