Upgrading to MERLIN MAGIX Release 1.5
Upgrading to the MERLIN MAGIX
System

Upgrading to the MERLIN MAGIX system from a MERLIN LEGEND system
involves the following:
■ Converting and restoring the backup file
■ Programming for Bridge modules
■ Attaching the metal carrier as necessary
■ Adding the MERLIN MAGIX modules
■ Performing a board renumbering
Follow these steps to upgrade to the MERLIN MAGIX system:
1. If you are adding a 100R INA module that only fits in a metal carrier, attach
a MERLIN MAGIX metal expansion carrier to the right of the existing
MERLIN LEGEND carrier(s). (See “Mounting the Carrier and Expansion
Carriers” on page 2-24.)
■ If you are using mounting brackets to mount the expansion carrier, see
Figure 7-3.
■ If you are not using mounting brackets to mount the expansion carrier,
see Figure 7-4 for the correct positioning of the mounting screws.
■ You can upgrade from a MERLIN LEGEND system to a MERLIN
MAGIX system without installing a metal carrier. However, the 100R
INA module only fits into a metal carrier.
■ Only one empty slot is allowed in the plastic carrier to the left of
the INA module, otherwise no empty slots are allowed.
■ You cannot add plastic expansion carriers to the end of a metal
carrier.
