The most recent software versions for all Martin Architectural products are available free
of charge from the Support area of the Martin website at http://www.martin.com
If the Exterior 1200 Wash software needs to be updated, the software can be downloaded
and then installed using a Martin MP-2 Uploader or a PC with Martin Software Uploader
shareware (also available free of charge from the Martin website). The PC must be
connected to the Exterior 1200 Wash via a hardware interface. The following hardware
interface devices are currently supported:
• DABS1 PC/luminaire hardware interface
• ShowDesigner PCI DMX Interface Card (2048 channel version)
• LightJockey PCI DMX Interface Card (512 and 2048 channel versions)
• LightJockey PCMCIA DMX Interface
• LightJockey 4064 ISA DMX Interface Card (DJ and Club versions)
Intermediate control systems such as the Martin Lighting Director (MLD) and the Martin
Matrix must be bypassed when updating luminaire software via the data link because they
do not relay the update code correctly.
Before updating software, read the release notes to familiarize yourself with any changes
in functionality or any special instructions.
Some software releases may require a boot mode upload or a boot sector update. If so,
contact your Martin Architectural supplier for assistance.
Software updates (DMX/Auto mode upload)
To update software, connect an upload device either to the data input of the luminaire via
the DMX data link or to the RJ-45 service port located behind the rear cover plate, and
perform a DMX mode upload as described in the upload device’s documentation. If
uploading via the DMX data link, there is no need to isolate Exterior 1200 Wash luminaires
from other types of luminaires on the link.
When the upload is completed (and when booting up) the Exterior 1200 Wash performs a
check-sum test of the memory and then resets.
In the unlikely event that a software upload is interrupted, the luminaire must be powered
off for at least 10 seconds and then powered on again to force a check-sum test. You can
then repeat the DMX mode upload. If an error occurs during subsequent uploads and the
luminaire does not reset, data may have been interrupted or corrupted during
transmission. A boot mode upload will almost certainly rectify this problem.
Important! Boot mode uploads must be carried out by Martin Global Service or its
authorized agent. If you suspect that a boot mode upload is necessary,
please contact your Martin Architectural supplier for assistance.
