The latest control software for the Exterior 600 is available from your Martin dealer and the Martin web site at http://

Software is uploaded to the Exterior 600 using an uploader such as the Martin MPBB1 or MP2. Please refer to the
uploader manual for instructions on preparing the uploader for use.

If the data is corrupted during transmission, a check-sum error occurs that causes the fixture to switch to boot mode in
preparation for a second upload attempt. Execute a boot-mode upload as described in the uploader manual.
If an upload attempt is interrupted, the fixture must be powered off for at least 10 seconds before a second upload can
be attempted. When the fixture is powered on, a check-sum error occurs that causes it to switch to boot mode in prepa-
ration for the second upload attempt. Select boot mode upload on the uploader.
If the software in memory is corrupted, software can be installed using the "hard-boot" setting, which is enabled by
moving a jumper on the circuit board. This upload procedure is also used to install software if it includes an update of
the boot sector.
