When upgrading software in the controller, the number and meaning of the configuration parameters may not match between the old and new software.

Set DIP switch 5 (on the main board) ON and apply power to initialize the configuration parameters to their default states. When the LEDs stop flashing, turn DIP switch 5 to OFF and press the reset switch. Enter the Configuration Menu and re-enter any non-default configuration parameters.
