5 Miscellaneous procedures

In this part procedures that might, but not necessarily must, be carried out are described. THESE ARE CARRIED OUT
DURING FACTORY SET-UP AND SHALL NORMALLY NOT BE DONE LATER.

5.1 Changing the main program - replacement of program memory in the main computer

The Neptune main program (control program) is programmed into two flash memory PLCC ICs located in position U12
(odd/high) and U16 (even/low) on the MP-501 controller board in the main computer cabinet. See the figure of MP-501
for locating the IC.

Fig. 1 Layout MP-501 controller board

Replacement of main program:

1. Switch off the power.
2. Remove gently the PLCCs (flash memory ICs) in locations U12 and U16 using the special PLCC removal
tool.
3. Insert the PLCCs with the new program in locations U12 (odd/high) and U16 (even/low). Check carefully that
they are inserted in the correct location.
4. Turn on the power.
5. Verify that the system is working properly.

Note that it is normally necessary to set-up and tune the system after changing the main program.

The set-up flash located in position U19 on the MP-501 controller board must also sometimes be replaced, most likely
in conjunction with changing the main program. The procedure is the same for changing the main program, apart from
that the IC in position U19 is replaced instead of (in addition to) the ICs in locations U12 and U16. In this case it is
necessary to set-up and tune the system afterwards.
