Factory Defaults Reset
You can reset the programming options for the communicator to the factory settings by installing
the hardware jumper. Perform the following steps to reset the communicator:
NOTE: A jumper is required on AUDIO/DEFAULT pins 4 and 5 to reset the hardware values.
1. Remove panel front cover.
2. Locate the AUDIO/DEFAULT 5 pin connector on the communicator board (see Figure 3).
3. Apply a jumper to short the hardware default pins 4 and 5.
4. Remove AC and DC power from the panel and then reapply power to the panel.
5. Wait 30 seconds.
6. Remove the jumper from the hardware default pins 4 and 5 (green LEDs will stop flashing).
7. Replace the panel cover.
NOTE: The communicator has now been reset to the factory default values.
Firmware Update
The device firmware can be updated over Ethernet (remote or local updating):
• When the firmware update begins, all LEDs are ON.
• During the firmware update process, the LEDs will cycle in a chaser pattern.
• During the firmware update process, the chaser pattern will briefly pause and resume again.
This indicates firmware verification check has passed, and application update will begin.
• After a successful update, the unit will automatically restart.
• Should the update fail, all LEDs will flash ON, then OFF together at 1-second intervals.
NOTE: If the firmware update fails, restart the communicator by cycling power. For persistent
update failures, contact your dealer. For UL/ULC listed installations, only local firmware
updates are allowed.
