Upgrading Modero Firmware

The only way to upgrade the firmware of an accessory item is to send the accessory’s firmware through a target panel. Its this panel’s device number which is entered within the Send to NetLinx Device transfer dialog in Studio.

Step 1: Prepare the NXA-BASE/B for firmware transfer via USB

Before beginning with this section:

Unplug any connectors from the rear of the NXT panel (power, Ethernet, etc.).

Refer to the Installing the NXA-BASE/B to an NXT Modero Panel section on page 27 for installation procedures to mount the NXT atop the battery base.

DO NOT PLACE BATTERIES IN THE BASE BEFORE CONNECTING IT TO THE NXT PANEL. Insert batteries into the NXA-BASE/BONLY AFTER the base has been

installed onto the bottom of the NXT panel.

Having batteries in the base before connection can damage the battery base.

Verify your NXA-BASE/B is securely attached to the bottom of the NXT panel.

Once the base is secured, side out the battery compartment and install the batteries into the battery base. Once the batteries are installed, close the compartment.

Reconnect all rear connectors to the NXT panel.
