Warnings and Agreements
Welcome! The PinPAC Pinball Personal Audio Controller has been designed for simplicity of installation! As with
any pinball machine modification and add on kit there is a required level of expertise for the installation. If you are
not proficient in basic pinball parts installation we recommend having our kit installed by someone who is
proficient with the basics of pinball repair. Pinnovators requires our kit be installed by an experienced pinball
service technician with basic electrical skills. As with any electrical piece of equipment a danger does exist and you
must agree to not hold Pinnovators responsible for any injury, damages, etc. before continuing.
Sound Levels: Pinnovators recommends running your headphone sound level at a safe level to prevent long term
hearing loss. For a good example of recommend sound levels, we recommend following suggestions given by
major audio equipment manufacturers such as Apple and their ipod.

ESD: We recommend always discharging the headphone cable by touching it to an exposed metal part of the
pinball machine before plugging it into the machine.
Power Cord: ALWAYS UNPLUG THE POWER CORD for safety when working on your pinball machine!
Playfield Propping: Pinnovators highly advises following playfield propping instruction for your pinball machine.
These instructions are typically found inside the Operators Manual for each machine. Failure to follow these
instructions can cause fatal injuries or even death. Pinnovators also recommends having an assistant hold a
propped playfield in the up position when servicing under the playfield.

Cable End Plugs into Picture
5 Pin Front Headphone Interface Panel
7 Pin CN3 on the CPU board.
6
Plug the 7-pin connector into the CN3 Male pin header on the Spike 2 CPU board.
Run the cable under the cable clamp. No need to remove the cable clamp, just tug on the top of it to open it. Run
cable under the second cable clamp and then drop the remaining cable into the main cabinet.
7
5. Running the cable through the main cabinet
Remove the playfield glass and lift up the playfield as shown. REMOVE THE PINBALLS! Run the cable
through the cable clamps as shown below. Leave any leftover cable slack neatly here so the cable will
not get stretched when the back box is folded down. Use the included Velcro tie to neatly secure the
cable to the main cable coming down from the back box.
Lift up the playfield and lean it against the back box. Run the cable through the three cable clamps as
shown.

6. Removing the Tournament Hole Plug.
Remove the Tournament hole plug by turning the nut on the back as shown. Some nuts can be removed
my hand and some will need a pair of pliers or a wrench to remove it.
7. Installing the PinPAC TH2 Plate.
Insert the PinPAC TH2 Front panel into the open Tournament hole. The volume control faces up. Future
product revisions will be slightly different than what is shown here.
9
Thread the green ground wire and the pin header cable through the slotted opening of the PinPAC TH2
rear mounting plate as shown. Hand tightten the two 4-40 lock nuts onto the Pem studs of the PinPAC
TH2 front plate.
Using your hollow nut driver, tighten the lock nuts until they just start to make contact with the rear
mounting plate. Carfully align the PinPAC TH2 panel so it sits straigtht. Snug the lock nuts enough to
keep the assebly from rotating but do not over tighten! I twill require a lot of force to break the PEM
studs so don’t overkill it.
10
Remove the ¼ inch screw on the lock down latch and then fasten the mid lug of the green safety wires
are shown.
Caution!! You must attaches these ground wires as show!!
Make sure the screw is snug when you screw it back in. If for some reason, the hole is stripped
(like mine was on my Aerosmith) completely remove the bracket and repair the hole! Please
contact us if you need help.
Next using your nut driver, start to thread the included ¼ bolt into the rear bracket. Hold off on
putting the green wire under the bolt until you have the hole fully started. Drive the bolt in half
way and then remove the bolt and put the bolt through the remain lug of the green wire.
Fully fasten the bolt.
Instert the femal end of the interface cable into the male pin header as shown. Secure the wire in the
cable clamp.
