The user definable text messages will be printed out when a printer is available.
A Fault message for an alarm point, zone or zone line input will also show the text message
(software ≥ V2.0.0).
19.3 Download Software (System Firmware)
Note: When existing system requires software upgrade, first, logon to the Control Unit
using a compatible EBLWin (or WinG3) software version with the existing firmware
version in FT1020G3 then perform SSD backup to save the existing Site Specific Data
file. This must be performed prior to any software download.
The latest software version of EBL512G3 system software
59
is factory downloaded before
delivery. Due to continual development and improvement, different S/W versions may be
found.
FT1020G3 can be upgraded with a new S/W version, downloaded on site via EBLWin as
well as remote display units 1728 and 1736. The valid (current) S/W version for the Main
board 5010 and the MMI board 5011 is shown in menu H4/U8 (information) or via EBLWin
(Control Unit pop-up menu; Software version…).
• If the FDCIE time differs more than 60 minutes to the time shown in the PC, a
dialog box will display when logon is performed. Via this dialog box, the PC time
can be used to update the FDCIE time.
• A user that is defined to have access to Web-server (not the FDCIE) can have a
password containing between 6 and 10 characters (not only digits).
Download Software to Single FDCIE
Note: Before downloading a new software in existing system, SSD
60
backup (upload)
must be performed using compatible EBLWin (or WinG3) software then saved in the
new version of EBLWin you intend to use.
To download a new software (system firmware) version, a PC and EBLWin are used. The
BIN file required to be downloaded contains software for the main board 5010, MMI board
5011 and a text file, i.e. there is one BIN file for each convention (AU or NZ).
Note: Brooks strongly recommends using the USB isolator device when you connect
your PC to the Control Unit.
The following procedures to be performed to download the system software to the FDCIE:
1. Plug in the USB key (5094) into a spare USB port on your PC.
2. Connect the PC to the USB connector in the FDCIE and start EBLWin,
3. Start EBLWin, do not log on to FT1020G3. In the Tools menu, select “Download
Software…” to open the Download software to control unit / display unit
dialog box and set as required.
4. Select the path and the software file name, e.g. Australian_EBL512G3_244.BIN
(244 = version 2.4.4).
5. Select the control panel type “EBL512G3 with front”, if the control panel is not fitted
with front display, select “EBL512G3 without front”.
59
The software (firmware) is the system software and always uses “EBL” abbreviation.

It is highly recommended to make a copy of the SSD file in its original version as well.
