INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR
MPC-6000, MPC-7000 AND RND-2 DISPLAY BOARDS
Installation is to be done by qualified personnel who
have thoroughly read and understood this instruction
sheet.
Step 1.) Upload the panel configuration to the CIS-4 software.
Step 2.) Disconnect BATTERY and AC prior to working on
equipment.
Step 3.) Remove cable connection from the keypad on the
Inner Front Plate to connector J3 on the Display
Board (P/N MPC(6/7)-DB, MPC6-DB2, RND2-DB or
RND2-DB2).
Step 4.) Remove the cable assembly (P/N 555-446055) from
connector J1 of the Display Board (P/N MPC(6/7)DB, MPC6-DB2, RND2-DB or RND2-DB2).
Step 5.) Remove the Display Board (P/N MPC(6/7)-DB,
MPC6-DB2, RND2-DB or RND2-DB2) from Inner
Front Plate Assembly by removing the four screws.
Place the screws to one side. Refer to Figure 1.

Step 6.) If replacing an RND-2 display board, transfer the
panel firmware IC (U4, located in the socket at the
lower right corner of the board as shown in Figure 2)
from the old board to the new one by following the
steps listed below.

a. Note where and how the IC is positioned.
b. Use a DIP extraction tool to remove U4 from its
socket on the new display board and then discard this
IC. If an extraction tool is not available, a short, thin
blade screwdriver may be used.
c. Remove U4 from the old display board. Insert
this IC into the proper socket on the new display
board. Press down firmly to seat the IC properly in
the socket.
CAUTION:
Make sure the "U" cut in the new IC is positioned as it
was in the old IC (if appropriate). Check that the IC is
properly seated in the socket and that all the IC pins
are properly aligned.

Step 7.) Reattach the cable connection from the keypad on the
Inner Front Plate to connector J3 on the Display Board
(P/N MPC(6/7)-DB, MPC6-DB2, RND2-DB or RND2-DB2).
a. Keypad with releasing application LEDs for
MPC-6000 only
Align the keypad connector (P/N 215-649557FA) to J3
of the MPC6-DB2 as shown below. Insert the keypad
connector to the J3 header with pin 1 of J3 properly
aligned with the keypad connector until it is a tight fit.

Align the keypad connector (P/N 215-649113FA) to J3
of the MPC6-DB2 as shown in Figure 4. Insert the
keypad connector to the J3 header with pin 1 of J3
properly aligned with the keypad connector until it is a
tight fit. Verify that pins 19-22 (last four pins) of J3
are not connected to the keypad.
Step 8.) Secure Display Board (P/N MPC(6/7)-DB, MPC6-
DB2, RND2-DB or RND2-DB2) to Inner Front Plate
Assembly using the four screws removed in Step 5.
Refer to Figure 1.
Step 9.) Plug the Cable Assembly (P/N 555-446055) into
connector J1 of the Display Board (P/N MPC(6/7)-DB,
MPC6-DB2, RND2-DB or RND2-DB2) and to
connector J11 of the Main Board (P/N MPC6-MB,
MPC6-MB2 or MPC7-MB).
Step 10.) Apply power to system.
Step 11.) Download the panel configuration from the CIS-4 to
the panel and swap.
a. We recommend copying the primary configuration
to the secondary after swapping.
