USB – Easy Programming
There are two methods that can be used to change the default settings on Curtis Generation 4 (G4) brewers. The settings can be
programmed at the brewer using the universal control module (UCM) touch screen or using the universal serial bus (USB) data
port on the side of the brewer. The brewer can easily be reprogrammed by using the USB connection to copy data from a USB
flash drive.
The flash drive can be used to copy all the settings from one G4 brewer to another G4 brewer. Doing so eliminates the need to
manually go through all the usual programming steps using the brewer touch screen. This
allows program settings to be standardized on multiple G4 brewers.
Use a flash drive with USB 2.0 support and a type-A USB connection. Storage capacity
should be 2 GB minimum.
IMPORTANT: The flash drive must be completely blank. Before starting, erase any existing
files on the flash drive.
SOFTWARE INFORMATION TRANSFER
UPLOAD TO USB
1. Make sure that the brewer is on. Determine that the G4 brewer you wish to copy programming from is properly programmed to
the desired settings.
2. Insert the empty flash drive into the USB port on the brewer. The UCM on the brewer will automatically upload all of its set-
tings data onto the flash drive. The yellow LED on above the brewer touch screen will light indicating that data is transferring.
The process will only take a second to complete.
DOWNLOAD TO BREWER
1. Select the brewer you wish to make the program changes to. The brewer should be on.
2. Plug the loaded flash drive into the USB port on the brewer. The data copied from the first G4 brewer will automatically down-
load, overwriting all the existing settings on the second brewer.
3. The red LED above the brewer touch screen lights indicating that the download is in process. The process will only take a
second to complete.
4. Once the download is complete, the UCM will reboot automatically so that the changes take effect.
5. The download is complete. Remove the flash drive. The data on the flash drive can be downloaded to as many G4 brewers as
needed.
