Installing anti-cheat devices across an arcade chain requires planning and coordination that a single-venue installation does not. This 7-step guide covers the process for bulk installations across multiple locations.
Step 1: Assess All Locations
Visit or survey each location to document machine counts, floor layouts, and existing protection. Create a standardized installation plan that accounts for differences between locations while maintaining consistent protection quality.
Step 2: Calculate Device Requirements
Based on machine spacing and floor layout at each location, calculate the total number of devices needed. One Gen2 per 2-3 machines is a good starting ratio. Add V5 or K8 devices for machines with ticket dispensers. Order with a 10% buffer for unexpected coverage gaps.
Step 3: Create Installation Kits
Pre-package each location’s devices with power adapters, cables, and quick-start guides. Label each device with its assigned machine or location number. This reduces installation time and prevents devices from being installed on the wrong machines.
Step 4: Train Location Staff
Provide a brief training session to staff at each location before installation day. Cover what the devices do, how to check the status light, and how to report blocked events. Staff who understand the equipment are more likely to maintain it properly.
Step 5: Install in a Single Pass
Install all devices at each location in one visit. This minimizes disruption and ensures consistent installation quality. Verify each device after installation before moving to the next machine.
Step 6: Verify Coverage
After installation, walk the floor with a checklist and confirm that every machine is within range of an active device. Check status lights on all devices. Document the final installation configuration for each location.
Step 7: Schedule Follow-Up
Schedule a follow-up visit 30 days after installation to review event logs, check device positions, and address any issues. The follow-up visit also provides an opportunity to train staff on log review and reporting procedures.
