Procedure 5.9 P30 Flash Programming the Upper PCA
This unit utilizes an upper PCA software system that is capable of on site upper PCA software uploading (re-
programming). The software upload may be accomplished with the use of a PDA (palm device) or a laptop computer.
If a palm device is to be used it must use OS software version 3.2 or higher. Currently, we have only tested devices
If a palm device is to be used, the appropriate software must be available in the palm device. A PDA containing the
appropriate software may be ordered from Precor or it may be downloaded to the PDA from your desktop or laptop
computer via the hot sync function. With the PDA inserted in the hot sync cradle, download to Precor IFP (in field
programmer) directory.
Upload Procedure
1.
The EFX must be powered down before the upload procedure can be initiated. Ensure that the EFX has not be
used for a sufficient time to allow the lower PCA to completely discharge. The light emitting diode on the lower
PCA will go out when the power supply is discharged.
2.
If the CSAFE port is in use, temporarily disconnect the RJ-45 cable from the CSAFE port. If the CSAFE port is not
in use, temporarily remove the plastic plug from the CSAFE port.
3.
Connect the PDA or computer interface cable to the CSAFE port.
4.
Select the software file to be uploaded on the palm device or computer.
5.
Start pedaling the EFX or power up using the external power supply. When the EFX powers up the upload will
commence. You must continue to pedal until the upload is complete, approximately 2 minutes.
6.
Stop pedaling or disconnect the external power supply when the upload is complete, and allow the lower PCA to
completely discharge. The light emitting diode on the lower PCA will go out when the power supply is
discharged.
7.
Start pedaling the EFX, after it has been allowed to power down, the EFX will now be operating on the newly
uploaded software.
