UMR: Assembly Notes

Important Information

  • The kit must be assembled in one of two configurations, according to the scan polarity of the host device. See the installation notes for the scan polarity of your keyboard model.
  • The kit contains some ESD-sensitive parts. Please take reasonable static-control precautions when assembling the kit.

PCB Layout

The location of each part is clearly marked on the UMR circuit board.

Assembled Board: Scan-High Configuration

Assembled Board: Scan-Low Configuration

MIDI Wiring

Wire pins 4 & 5 of the MIDI connector to the corresponding "MIDI IN" terminals on the UMR.

Parts List

All components are mounted on the side of the board with the white legend. Components can be mounted in any order, but it is easier to mount the smallest components first.
