Hi Stuart,

 

Not yet.  Keypads have their own, unique serial number.  It’s not related to the mount.  (Not everyone orders a keypad.)  Look on the back of the keypad for the serial number.

George, sorry to drag this out but is that 1565GTO the same as my mount's serial number? My AP900GTO is 501. Am I scuppered?

I should add that the earliest keypads…approximately 1565GTO and earlier…will not accept the v5.xx firmware, as they do not have the available memory.

Peter,

 

All Keypads can accept firmware version up to v4.19.3.   Version v5.xx will require a CP4 or CP5.

I fairly recently received an email announcing new keypad software. Unfortunately it appears that my keypad is too old to accept it. Can someone please redirect me to this information?
