Remove the secondary fuses F1, F2, F3, located on POWER AMPLIFIER & SUPPLY 
BOARD; turn on the instrument and verify the supply AC voltages:
 (CN5) between pin1 and pin3 = 10±0,5Vac
 (CN9) between pin1 and pin2 = 16±0,8Vac
 (CN9) between pin1 and pin3 = 16±0,8Vac
 (CN9) between pin2 and pin3 = 32±1,6Vac
Turn off the instrument, and put the fuses back on its holders.
Turn on the instrument and the appropriate welcome message appears on the display.

A few seconds later the led GRAND PIANO light.
Check the supply DC voltages on CPU & SOUND GENERATOR BOARD:
 (CN8) between pin9 and pin7 = +5±0,25Vdc
 (CN8) between pin1 and pin4 = +12±0,6Vdc  
 (CN8) between pin1 and pin5 = -12±0,6Vdc

The instrument starts in AUTOTEST mode turning on the instrument while pressing 
down the "GRAND PIANO" button (pressing PRESET instead GRAND PIANO the 
procedure starts from LCD display test).
NOTE: Each time you press the "GRAND PIANO" button the autotest procedure 
proceeds to the next step.

The instrument show the date, time and release version of the software loaded in 
flash memory.

The instrument asks if you want to update it, press GRAND PIANO to skip, the 
appropriate procedure to update the software is explained further.

|EPROM to FLASH  |

|push REC to prog|

The instrument performs the flash memory data checksum and display it in 
hexadecimal value.
NOTE: the BT (boot) value must be 95C4 for ver.2.00, if it does not correspond you 
can not update software thru serial port but only with Update Software Board.

|Are all leds on?|

Check the VOLUMES ranges from 0 to 127.
Check all buttons (except GRAND PIANO) pressing their one at a time and checking 
that corresponding led lights, pressing PAGE UP and DOWN buttons the display shows 
"U" and "D", pressing DATA + and - buttons the display shows "+" and "-", pressing 
BALANCE < and > buttons the display shows an "X" in 1 and 2 digits, pressing 
TOUCH, STORE and REC/CONTROL buttons the display shows an "X" in 3, 4 and 5 
digits respectively.

Check the SOFT and SUSTAIN pedals, pressing each one the value change from 0 
(released) to 127 (pressed), for RP100 the DAMPER pedal operation is similar, for 
RP150 the DAMPER pedal varying its value continuosly from 0 (released) to nearly 
127 (pressed).

the oscilloscope a 4Vpp (1Mhz) signal on pin 1, set volume to half stroke.

|TST COMPUTER I/O|

|LOOP DETECTED OK|

The instrument generates a 1KHz sinusoidal signal in both audio channels. VOLUME 
fader controls the amplitude of signal and TRANSPOSE b and # buttons controls the 
frequency from 10Hz to 2756Hz.

RP100-150 INITIAL CHECK

Re-set the frequency at 1KHz and check HEADPHONES and AUX outputs with the 
oscilloscope inserting a stereo jack in the left phones socket (speakers will go be 
silent) and two mono jack in the AUX OUT sockets and set volume to its maximum.

Now verify the following level of signals:
Phones output without load = 17±1.7Vpp
AUX output =  1.35±0.14Vpp

Set the VOLUME to minimum.
Apply a sinusoidal signal of 0.730Vpp at 1KHz with a generator to the AUX IN left and 
right sockets and verify the signal output:
AUX output =  1.35±0.07Vpp

Autotest is over, turn off the instrument.

RP100-150 O.S. UPDATING PROCEDURE from Serial Port (COMPUTER) ver. 2.xx or greater

Operation Descriptions

Display

NOTE: This procedure is valid only if the software version installed on the piano is the 
2.00 or greater.
Some additional tips and advices are included in the Flashblaster Firmware Update 
Disk. The disk containing the Fblaster program can also be downloaded by internet at 
generalmusic web site (www.generalmusic.com) or required at 
[email protected]

Connect the serial cable between the COMPUTER of the piano and the RS232 COM 
port of the computer (PC-Ibm or compatible).
Insert the disk in the drive A (or whatever your 3.5" drive is assigned to), open the 
contents of drive A and double click on the fblaster.exe file.
From the OPTIONS/SETTINGS menu, make sure that the TEST AND PROGRAM choice 
is selected. This is very important.
