b. Where RAM memory is maintained through a power source such as a battery or super-cap, a low voltage indicator must be provided in hardware to enable software to interpret and notify of a power source that is nearly depleted to a level which will no longer support retention of data.

c. Batteries used must be commercially available.

d. If an EEPROM is utilised within the gaming device, it must not be used to restore the critical memory into RAM upon recovery of power unless the critical memory data are written to EEPROM at least once per second. This is not considered practical however, given the limited 'endurance' (ie. write cycles before failures) of EEPROM devices.

e. Batteries must be connected to the board(s) that contain the RAM in such a manner that they cannot easily be removed.

f. Batteries must be "long life" with a life of at least five (5) years.

C.2.1.19. Cash Boxes

Cash boxes must be of a sufficient capacity to store coins, tokens or notes, as applicable, for at least a 24 hour period of trading. That is, the number of times secure cabinets must be opened for the purposes of cash clearances is to be minimised.

C.2.1.20. Serviceability

a. Any part of a device which is required to be removed under normal operating conditions must be constructed to facilitate this.

b. Any part of a machine which requires removal under normal operating conditions should not require any adjustment or the need to follow complicated procedures for re-installment, nor should any special tools be required for the removal.

C.2.1.21. Environmental

Gaming equipment is to be capable of operating within the following bounds (refer AS1099):

a. Temperature Range:

Ambient still air: 10 to 35 Celsius

b. Relative Humidity Range:

15 to 85 per cent.

C.2.1.22. Security

a. A program residing in the gaming device must not be able to be replaced or modified unless the logic area in which it is housed is accessed.

b. Memory clears must only be able to be undertaken by accessing the logic area in which it is housed.

c. The use of clearing EPROMs, or similar devices that write to memory, is not permitted, unless the Authority has evaluated the source code of the device and has established confidence in the associated controls to ensure that only approved devices are used in the field.

d. The risk associated with exposure through the need to physically access a restricted compartment (refer (a) and (b), above) is minimised if game data information is able to be changed remotely. Consequently, the Authority may grant exemptions to the above requirements where it is satisfied that the degree of compensating controls and security in place adequately addresses its concerns.
