Technical Notes:
 
STARCOM 7 TEST CHIP INSTRUCTIONS
 
This circuit is designed to enable full operation on all DPV 72 Series, i.e., DP7xxx, DPV7xxx, DPBB7xxx, Converter/Descramblers (Baseband & Tri-mode). The boards that are now sold will also work on the majority of all R2-V5 or CFT20XX Models as well as earlier DPBB 72xx models. See SOFTWARE PAGE.

1. Open the unit with special GI-STAR tool or use 3.5" flush cutters across opposite notches and rotate Hinge the top cover to the front, upside down, and out of the way.
 
2. Locate EPROM (U4) in the unit. If it is in a socket, remove it and place it in the open socket on the Key Circuit Module, being sure to observe the direction of the notch on the EPROM chip. If the EPROM (U4) is soldered directly onto the board, then solder a 28 pin socket over the existing one (piggyback).
 
3. Some units have a talkback module that needs to be removed. It is a long module with 2 "F" fittings. Simply disconnect the MOLEX connectors and screws and remove.
 
4. On some TRI-MODE units, cut W25. ON baseband units, make sure that W25 is NOT cut.
 
4a. On some models, i.e., DPBB7312/tmp, hook pulse wire (data wire) to pin 19 of 64 pin micro, pin 6 of 11 pin connector to +5vdc (pin# 1 of micro) and cut jumper 74.
 
5. Locate the IC labeled 74HC138. On TRI-MODE units you may have to lift the tuner slightly. Solder the wire closest to pin 15 of the EPROM on the Key Circuit Module to pin 15 of the 74HC138 (U2) On some units U2 is located underneath Tuner Module.
 
6. Locate LC3518 (U5) and cut pin 20 in a manner so that you can solder to the IC side of the pin. Solder the wire closest to pin 20 of the EPROM on the Key Circuit Module to pin 20 of LC3518 (U5).
 
7. Solder wire closest to pin 25 of the EPROM on the Key Circuit Module to pin 18 of LC3518 (U5).
 
8. Noting direction of the notch on the Key Circuit Module and U4, insert the Key Circuit Module into the socket.
 
9. If the Key Circuit Uses a ribbon cable, place it on the microprocessor using double stick tape.
 
10. Reassemble the unit reverse order. Power-up unit. It will take a few seconds for the unit to respond.
