62 Firmware updates
In the unlikely event that a software upload is interrupted, the fixture must be
powered off for at least 10 seconds to force a check-sum test. You can then
repeat the DMX-mode upload. If an error occurs and the fixtures do not
reset, data was interrupted or corrupted during transmission.
When the normal method fails (boot
mode upload)
If an upload attempt is interrupted or corrupted, the fixture must be powered
off for at least 10 seconds before a second upload can be attempted. When
the fixture is powered on, the LEDs will blink yellow in preparation for the
second upload attempt. Perform a boot-mode upload (as described in the
upload device’s documentation).
When the fixture is not responding
(boot mode & boot sector upload)
If all else fails, the fixture is responding erratically or not at all, or when the
software update notes call for a boot sector update or boot mode upload:
1. Make sure the Exterior 600 is isolated from AC power and has been
allowed to cool for at least 20 minutes.
2. Open the fixture by removing the ten 4mm Allen screws from the rear
cover plate.
3. Carefully remove the plate and seal.
4. To remove the printed circuit board from the fixture, remove the two
Philips screws from the aluminum bracket and pull the board out.
5. On the circuit board,
locate jumper PL121
(illustrated in “PCB layout”
on page 78) and move the
jumper to pins 1 and 2 as
shown here. This will
remove the write protection from the boot sector and place the fixture in
boot mode where it waits to receive new firmware.
6. Replace the PCB and apply power to the fixture.
7. Perform a boot mode upload as described in the upload device’s
documentation.
