N. Update Firmware
Before updating firmware ensure that all components intended for the update are powered up
and connected to the chosen input controller through either the CAN line or RF network.
Remove the USB cover from any input controller.
o
Although any input controller may be used for updating firmware, it is suggested that a
controller connected via the CAN line is used, if available. Update times can triple when
using input controllers communicating over the RF network.
Install the USB flash drive with the newest firmware version into the USB port of the desired input
controller, and the controller will automatically enter USB Mode (The following LED routines
should occur to indicate that USB mode has been initiated. If USB Mode does not initiate, hold
AUX and OSC for 2 seconds and watch for the LED indicators)
o
If using a panel mount or hand held, the yellow status LED on the controller will begin to
blink at once per second intervals.
o
If using Joystick, all valve LEDs will flash once to indicate that you are in USB Mode
Press and release the PRESET button
The input controller will read the hex file on the flash drive and install it as long as the copied
firmware is newer than the existing firmware.
o
This process will likely take up to ten minutes to complete. If using an RF input controller,
update time may be up to three times as long.
o
This action will also update all input controllers on the CAN line (primary and secondary)
o
Once all of the input controllers are updated and there were no errors while upgrading; then
the preset LED will blink once every three (3) seconds.
o
If the primary input controller does not recognize it as newer firmware, then no update will
take place and the preset LED will flash twice every three (3) seconds.
o
If the update did not perform correctly, the preset LED will blink three times every three (3)
seconds. If the update did not perform correctly please call Elkhart Brass at (800) 346-
0250.
Remove the USB flash drive from the input controller to exit USB Mode. (On older systems it may
be necessary to push the right button on the panel mount or hand held, or move the joystick
right, to exit USB mode).
