• Do not power down or pull out the SD card out of FLXA402 while importing/exporting/
updating the data memory from/to SD card.
• You can enter up to 12 characters excluding file extension to create folder/file label. For
sensor configuration parameter file, you can enter 10 characters.
• If you entered characters more than 12, only first 12 characters would be displayed, which
would make it difficult to identify files.
• If no SD card is installed for SD-card-requiring function including “Export all configuration”,
“Import configuration”, “Software update”, the list is left blank even after you install SD card.
• To renew the list, return to the previous page and select the corresponding function again.

You can copy data to/from FLXA402 internal storage/SD card. This system offers data mobility,
and provides data sharing. For instance, you can check/modify/store data apart from a test site,
and bring it back to the site to read/import.
Configuration is shared smoothly between FLXA402/SENCOM SA and different FLXA402/
SENCOM SAs.
