Introduction to Keypad Replacement

Replacing the Trimble R8s Keypad is essential for maintaining the functionality of your surveying equipment, including the R8s GNSS receiver. Follow this guide for a smooth installation process and ensure optimal performance.

Installation Steps

Preparation: Before starting, ensure that the keypad area is thoroughly clean inside and out. This will help prevent any debris from interfering with the new keypad’s performance.

Removing the Old Keypad: Carefully remove the old keypad from the device. Handle the flex cable gently to avoid any damage.

Inserting the New Keypad: Remove the backing from the new Trimble R8s Keypad. Insert the flex cable through the existing hole in the housing, feeding it through fully to ensure a proper connection.

Securing the Keypad: Press the keypad along the edges so that it sits firmly in place on the lower section of the device. This ensures that it is securely attached and ready for use.

Sealing the Connection: To ensure a seal, apply a small bead of non-flow, non-corrosive RTV GE128 where the flex cable feeds through the housing. This will help protect the internal components from moisture and dust.

Final Checks and Resources

After installation, double-check that the keypad is functioning correctly. Test all buttons to confirm they respond as expected.
