Bi-directional Locate Feature

Pressing and holding the LOC button for 3 seconds will initiate the Module Locate feature. When a Module Locate is 
initiated, the module’s representation in the BabyWare software will flash and the module’s BUS, RX and TX LEDs will flash 
at 1Hz to indicate that it is in locate mode. A module locate can also be initiated from the BabyWare software. From 
BabyWare right-click the module’s representation and select Locate Physical. The module’s BUS, RX and TX LEDs will 
flash. We highly recommend that after pressing locate and identifying the module, open the programming page and assign 
the proper physical location label and the outputs’ labels and locations. After complete connection, use the space provided 
on the module to indicate the outputs’ description.

Remote Firmware Upgrade

Work in progress...

The HV8D is firmware upgradeable remotely via the V32 controller’s Multibus at 57.6Kbps. Using BabyWare connect to the 
V32 account using any of the connection methods (direct connect, IP static, or IP DNS). Right-click the desired module and 
select Upgrade (???). A firmware upgrade for a single module or group of modules will take usually less than 10 minutes, 
which keeps system downtime to a minimum. 

Programming an HV8D Module

1) When BabyWare is communicating with the V32 controller and a HV8D module 

is connected to the Multibus, it automatically appears in the Modules display 
area. To view the Modules display area, click the 

Modules

 toggle button. 

Alternatively, you may wish to add a module to BabyWare before the module is 
physically connected to the system. Click the 

Add Item

 button.

2) To program a module that already appeared in the system, double-click the 

module’s icon. The HV8D Programming window opens.

3) From the Type drop-down list, select Sprinkler, Light, or Customer for Relay 

Mode, or select Shutter for Shutter Mode

.
