Modero X® Series G4 Touch Panels Instruction Manual
X Series panels use Kit files for firmware upgrades. A Kit file (*.kit) is a package of several files, all of which are
required to upgrade the firmware, and are available online via www.amx.com (refer to the device page for firmware
updates).
Transferring the KIT File via NetLinx Studio

If for any reason your Kit file transfer should fail, continue to retry the transfer until
you are successful. DO NOT reboot the Master, or change connections until the
transfer is complete. Failure to complete this operation successfully may result in a
factory repair of the Master.
