Introduction

This Special Instruction provides information that is used in order to perform an update from a 244-1717 MS980C GPS Receiver to the 291-1913 MS990C GPS Receiver . Update the Display software to version 6.11 or later. The 291-1913 MS990C GPS Receiver cannot be used with version 5.51 of the Display software.

Do not perform any procedure that is outlined in this publication or order any parts until you fully understand this information.

Factors to Consider when Upgrading to MS990C GPS Receivers

MS980C

If an MS980C GPS Receiver and an MS990C GPS Receiver are utilized on the same machine, then the MS980C receiver needs to be updated to version 1.37 firmware. The version 1.37 firmware is available on the download page for SIS web. The name of the file is "MS980137.s".

Note: CD550A displays that use the version 6.11 of the AccuGrade software do not support mixed MS980C and MS990C operation.

Radio

The MS990C requires that the AccuGrade machine radio use the version of software that is listed here:

TC900C radios need to have version 3.14 or later.
TC450C radios need to have version 1.28 or later

AccuGrade

When installing MS990C on an AccuGrade version 10 system, update the CD700 to version 10.01.

When installing the MS990C on an AccuGrade version 6.1 system, update the CD550A to version 6.11.

SPS850 Base

When setting up the Base and the radio, any of the radios in the following list may be used:

the internal radio of the base
a SNB900
a TC900B

When an SPS850 Internal Radio or an SNB900 is used, the CMR bytes do not need to be limited. However, if a B-model radio is used, then set the following limits:

Kea with 2 way data: Set the limit to 204 bytes
IP (Traditional or EasyIP) with 2 way data: Set the limit to 188 bytes
Kea Network with no data: Put the radio in Turbo Mode

Note: The number of bytes can only be limited by using the PC interface via the Ethernet cable.

Required Tools

The following tools will be required to install the AccuGrade GPS receivers. The list below contains the service tools that are recommended by Caterpillar.
