C.2.1.14.2. Electrostatic Interference

Protection against static discharge requires that the conductive cabinets be appropriately earthed, i.e. earthed in such a way that discharge energy does not enter the electronics or other sensitive components.

C.2.1.14.3. Body Discharge

a. Note that the following tests require that the equipment under test be running gaming software during the tests, and the effects if any on the correct functioning of the software are assessed as part of the tests.

b. The tests will be conducted with a severity level of ± 15kV for air discharge and ± 7.5kV for contact discharge. The test set-up and test methodology will be as per IEC.801-2.

c. Gaming equipment must exhibit total immunity to human body electrostatic discharges on all player-exposed areas.

d. When subjected to such human body electrostatic discharges, gaming equipment must not interfere with the operation of any other such attached gaming device (eg. via local data communications wiring).

C.2.1.14.4. Temporary Disruption Test

a. Testing of temporary disruption will be conducted with a severity level of ± 25kV for air discharge and ± 10kV for contact discharge. The test set-up and test methodology will be as per IEC.801-2.

b. Gaming equipment may exhibit temporary disruption when subjected to electrostatic discharges greater than human body discharges, but must exhibit a capacity to recover and complete any interrupted play without loss or corruption of any stored or displayed information, game play state, game play outcome or gaming statistics and without component failure.

C.2.1.14.5. ESD Build-up in Coin/Note/Token/Ticket Handling Equipment

Valid objects entering or exiting gaming equipment have the potential to build up a static charge as they traverse various paths within the equipment. In particular the build-up of static in coin drop-boxes has the potential to damage equipment and cause injury to staff. Gaming equipment must employ some method of dissipating or preventing such ESD.

C.2.1.14.6. Radio Frequency Interference

Gaming equipment must not divert from normal operation by the application of radio frequency interference (“RFI”). The test set-up and test procedure will be in accordance with IEC.801-3, severity level 2 (including draft amendments). The frequency range tested will be 27 to 1000 MHz with field strength of 3 volts per meter.

C.2.1.15. Wiring

a. Power and data cables into and out of gaming equipment are to be routed so that they are not accessible to the general public.

b. Data cables must be routed away from internal sources of electrical noise, including power cables.
