6.8 Performingsoftwareandrmwareupdates
To update the control software or the driver board rmware, proceed as follows:
1. Set the On/Off switch on the front side of the steam humidier to the Off position, then switch off the
voltage supply to the steam humidier via the external disconnect switch (electrical isolator) and
secure switch in the off position to prevent it from inadvertent power up.
2. Unlock the door panel on the control compartment side of the steam humidier and remove it.
3. Swing control panel assembly open.
4. Carefully insert FAT32 formatted USB memory stick containing the software updates into the USB
port on the control board. Make sure that the maximum length of the memory stick does exceed 75
mm.
Note: in order to update the control software or the rmware of the driver board a USB stick with a
valid software update (the update les must be on the highest level outside of any folder) must be
connected to the USB port on the control board. Otherwise, an appropriate fault message appears
when starting the software update.
5. Close control panel assembly, then close the door panel of the control compartment and lock it with
the screw.
6. Remove the lock and tag from the external disconnect switch. Then, switch on external disconnect
switch to restore power to the humidier.
7. Set the On/Off switch on the front side of the steam humidier to the On position.
8. When the standard operating display appears, select the <Menu> button, then enter the password
(8808) to login.
9. Select "Administrator > Software Update tab", then select the desired update function:
• select "Software Update" to update the control software,
• select "Driver A.DB.A" update the rmware for the driver board of Module A
• select "Driver B.DB.B" update the rmware for the driver board of Module B (on double unit or
large units with two steam cylinders),
• select "Driver C.DB.A" update the rmware for the driver board of optional Condair RO-A reverse
osmosis system (only possible, if Condair RS is congured for the operation with a Condair RO-A
reverse osmosis system).
The update starts. A progress bar is shown in the display. If the update has completed the control
unit returns to the standard operating display.
CAUTION!
Do not interrupt a software or rmware update once it has started. Wait until updating is completed.
Corrupted control software or rmware can render the humidier unusable.
Note: If software update is accidentally interrupted, the humidier will not operate, but the software
update can be resumed by leaving the USB key inserted in the control board and power cycling
the unit. The integrated controller will detect the software was not properly installed, and restart
the update.
10. Repeat steps 1 to 3, then carefully remove the USB memory stick.
11. Close control panel assembly, then close the door panel of the control compartment and lock it with
the screw.
12. Repeat Step 6 and 7 to power up the humidier.
