7. Maintenance and Test Modes 

 

■Maintenance mode (measurement mode) 

 

Maintenance mode is a program to adjust the key sensor and damper pedal sensor 
detection positions by measurement. 
Measurement by maintenance mode shall be required in the following cases; 

If the detection position is out of standard, when checked in the test mode. 

When replacing the key sensor rail, damper pedal sensor and DM sheet, etc.   

                                   

 

[Key sensor measurement] 

For key sensor measurement, there are “All-key measurement” to rewrite the 

measurement of all keys and “1-key measurement” to rewrite only a designated key.

Note 1: If the tone is consonant (“do”, “mi”, “sol” and “do”), the writing has already been done in the table.   
If the tone is dissonant, the writing has not been done in the table. 
Note 2: One key measurement requires the same procedure as for the measurement of all keys. 
If more than one key is to be measured, repeat the steps 3 through 6 and then proceed to step 7).
