controller LOCK/UNLOCK
To prevent any changes in the switcher setup, the user can easily lock the controller. If the
controller is locked, only the ENTER key is accessible – which will UNLOCK it. The locked
controller does not execute the EXTENSION or DRY CONTACT keys. Also, the LCDs will not
be updated with changes in the system.
Immediately after being unlocked, the controller requests the current status of all units and
restores the updated data to the LCD windows.
Flash Memory Update
8.4
The main part of the controller's firmware program is located in FLASH (electrically
programmable and erasable) memory. The main advantage of this type of memory is that the
user can, in minutes, upgrade his program for use with the latest equipment from Kramer, and
he can always have the latest firmware version in his controller.
Firstly, obtain the updated file through dealer channels or the Internet. The following example
shows how to install a file called "3000-10exe.hex" into the FLASH memory. (Note: the
number "10" in the file name indicates the version number "1.0". Make sure you receive the
latest version, and that it is a ".hex" file.
The current version of your VS-3000 software is displayed in the small LCD when turning on
the controller. The upper line shows the version number, and the bottom line the date of issue of
this version.
Before installing, detach all RS- connections from back panel. Make the new connections
according to the diagram below:
