PERF+ PANEL FIRMWARE UPDATE =========================== The Perf+ Panel has an Interface board and an optional Data Acquisition board. The Interface board is responsible for communicating with the ControlFire switches. The latest firmware version for the Interface board is x.113, where x can be 1, 2, or 3 depending on the type of Panel you have. The following steps describe how to update the Interface board. 1) Double-click on the ControlFire+ icon on your desktop. In the "License Agreement" dialog, select either "Both" or "ControlFire+". Check "I have read and agree" and then click "Start". 2) On the Home screen, click the button in the left-hand corner of the status bar. This will retrieve the current firmware version of the Interface board. Note that this step requires your PC to be connected to the Panel's "PERF PLUS TO PC" port using a USB cable. 3) Click on "Menu" and then select "Perf+ Panel Firmware Update". 4) In the "Perf+ Panel Firmware Update" window, select "Panel Interface Board". 5) Follow the instructions provided. Select the appropriate COM port, and click the browse "..." button. 6) If the firmware version that you retrieved in step 2 starts with a "1" followed by a dot "." (for example, 1.112) then select the file named "Panel_Interface_Board_Boot.X.production_0512.hex". If the panel firmware starts with a "2" (for example, 2.112) then select the file named "Panel_Interface_Board_Boot.X.production_1024.hex". If the panel firmware starts with a "3" (for example, 3.112) then select the file named "Panel_Interface_Board_Boot.X.production_2048.hex". 7) Click "Update" and follow the instructions. 8) After the update completes, go back to step 2 to query and verify the new firmware.
