Firmware Version - Prime DS101 Operating Instructions Manual

the green indicator stops flashing and remains solidly on until the material thickness at the probe
face changes.
If the calibration is not successful, both indicators flash simultaneously. Make sure that the sheet
is solidly against the probe and not moving when calibrating or that the sheet thickness does not
exceed the probe specification. (See probe specifications on page 2). If everything seems to
check out, re-try the calibration. Alternatively try calibrating on single and double as described
below. If difficulties persist, call Prime Controls for technical assistance.
Calibration on Single and Double (Two Hit)
Calibration on single AND double is selected when the left configuration switch is DOWN.
Place a single thickness of material against the probe face and press the CALIBRATE push-
button. During calibration on the single thickness, the green (NO DOUBLE) indicator flashes
and the yellow (DOUBLE) indicator is off. When calibration on the single thickness is complete
and the unit is ready for the double thickness, the green indicator turns off and the yellow
indicator flashes. Place a sample of thicker material or two samples of the single material against
the probe face and press the CALIBRATE push-button again. If calibration is successful, the
yellow indicator stops flashing and remains solidly on and the green indicator is off.
If the calibration is not successful, both indicators flash simultaneously. The causes for
unsuccessful calibration can be many including too little difference in thickness between the thin
and thick material, poor probe contact, non-ferrous material, wrong probe model for the material,
etc.

FIRMWARE VERSION

From time to time, as improvements are made to Prime products, the firmware controlling the
units is revised. When setting a unit up or troubleshooting it may be necessary to determine the
version number for the firmware installed in your unit. The version numbers begin with 1.0 and
are incremented either by tenths (1.1, 1.2, etc.) for small revisions or by the integer digit (1.0, 2.0,
etc.) for more significant revisions.
To determine the version of the firmware running in your unit, simply hold the calibration push
button in as power is applied to the unit. The revision number is displayed as one second flashes
of the NO DOUBLE LED for the integer digit followed by one second flashes of the DOUBLE
LED for the fractional digit. Count the number of flashes on each LED to determine the revision
number. Thus one flash of the NO DOUBLE LED followed by two flashes of the DOUBLE
LED indicates version 1.2 of the firmware.
