Directions
Ensure that power is disconnected from all equipment before commencing the upgrade.
RD500 Operator Keyboards
Remove the RD500 operator keyboard bottom panel screws. This will allow the front
cover of the keyboard to be removed. Take the cover off the keyboard and lift the
keyboard up from the rear to the front. Looking at the bottom of the keyboard printed
circuit board ensure the unit is fitted with an 8 way dip-switch before proceeding. If a 4
way dip-switch is fitted to the unit, this keyboard cannot be upgraded to operate with
MAXPRO-Net Server.
Remove the four Philips head screws holding the printed circuit board to the bottom of
the case. Carefully lift the circuit board and keyboard plate and place upside down (take
care not to damage joystick). Remove U4 IC from the board and replace with the
replacement processor (RD500 V4.XX). Ensure anti-static precautions are taken. Move
dip-switch number 6 to the OFF position to enable version 4 operation. Re-assemble
keyboard and connect to MAXPRO-Net Server.
