9. Performing a POM-Update

Hint: The POM-Update is possible with decoders FD-R Extended from
version 2.0. For updating decoders with a former firmware version you
have to send them in. The version number is saved in CV #7.
Preparations
1. In order to perform the firmware update you do not have to
dismount the decoder. Put the vehicle with the mounted decoder
on the main track. Hint: You can perform a firmware update with
several decoders FD-R Extended at once, the current software
version of the decoders is of no importance. The individual CV
settings of the decoder will not be altered by updating.
2. Save the file with the newest firmware on your PC,
e.g. FD-R_Extended_V2_1_0_0.hex for version 2.1.0.0
You can download the newest firmware from our homepage
without charge. When getting (on the part of any third parties) a
packed file (e.g. *.zip) you have to unpack it first.
3. Get ready the CD with the program "POM-Updater.exe" (included in
the delivery) or download the program from our homepage.
4. Connect your central unit with the PC. At present (status: 01/2015)
the POM-Update can be carried out with the MasterControl (Tams
Elektronik),
(Maerklin**) ). You find the current list of central units allowing to
perform the POM-update on our homepage.
5. Before starting the update connect at least one lamp or LED to
AUX2 (F0r) as the update´s status is shown by lighting or flashing
of the lighting connected to this output.
