DOWNLOAD THE RU FILE

Use the directions below to download a new firmware
update file (RU) to the USB flash drive to use with the
Model 401.
Note: The Model 401 only supports USB 2.0 flash
drives using a FAT32 file system. USB 3.0 drives
are not compatible.
Caution: Do not save multiple files to the flash
drive. Keep only one file (RU) on the flash drive at
a time.
1. Plug the flash drive into one of your computer's
USB drives.
2. Download the panel's firmware update file (RU)
from DMP.com/software_downloads. Save it
to the root directory of the flash drive, not in a
folder.
3. When complete, eject the flash drive.

UPDATE THE FIRMWARE

The Model 401 connects to the compatible panel
through the panel's PROG header. Updating firmware
does not change current panel programming. To
update the panel with a new firmware version, use the
following directions.
XT30/XT50 Series panels
1. Place a jumper across the Reset header.
2. Remove the wires from the keypad bus
terminals.
3. Connect the USB flash drive with the file (RU)
to the Model 401. Connect the assembly to the
panel's PROG header. The LED on the Model 401
will flash and display steady green.
4. Place a jumper across the Load header.
5. Remove the jumper from the Reset header.
6. Press and release the button on the Model 401
to initiate the firmware update. The LED on the
Model 401 will flash slowly. If the LED displays
fast flashes, it means the firmware update
was unsuccessful. The update will last up to
five minutes. When complete, the LED on the
Model 401 will display steady green.
7. Replace the jumper across the Reset header.
Remove the USB flash drive and Model 401
assembly.
8. Remove the jumper from the Load header.
9. Reconnect the keypad bus wires.
10. Remove the jumper from the Reset header.
In the event the Model 401 is removed from the panel
before the update finishes, reset the panel and repeat
steps 1 through 10.
