Prevention: Before carrying out any work on the Condair EL switch off the unit, disconnect it from the
mains and secure the unit against inadvertent power-up.
To update the control software or the driver board rmware, proceed as follows:
1. Set the On/Off switch on the front side of the steam humidier to the Off position, then switch off the
voltage supply to the steam humidier via the external disconnect switch (electrical isolator) and
secure switch in the off position to prevent it from inadvertent power up.
2. Unlock the door panel on the control compartment side of the steam humidier and remove it.
3. Swing control panel assembly open.
4. Carefully insert FAT32 formatted USB memory stick containing the software updates into the USB
port on the control board. Make sure that the maximum length of the memory stick does exceed 75
mm.
Note: in order to update the control software or the rmware of the driver board a USB stick with a
valid software update (the update les must be on the highest level outside of any folder) must be
connected to the USB port on the control board. Otherwise, an appropriate fault message appears
when starting the software update.
5. Close control panel assembly, then close the door panel of the control compartment and lock it with
the screw.
6. Remove the lock and tag from the external disconnect switch. Then, switch on external disconnect
switch to restore power to the humidier.
7. Set the On/Off switch on the front side of the steam humidier to the On position.
8. When the standard operating display appears, select the <Menu> button, then enter the password
(8808) to login.
9. Select "Administrator > Software Update tab", then select the desired update function:
• select "Software Update" to update the control software,
• select "Driver Board A.DB.A" update the rmware for the driver board of Module A
• select "Driver Board A.DB.B" update the rmware for the driver board of Module B (on double
unit or large units with two steam cylinders),
The update starts. A progress bar is shown in the display. If the update has completed the control
unit returns to the standard operating display.
CAUTION!
Do not interrupt a software or rmware update once it has started. Wait until updating is completed.
Corrupted control software or rmware can render the humidier unusable.
Note: If software update is accidentally interrupted, the humidier will not operate, but the software
update can be resumed by leaving the USB key inserted in the control board and power cycling
the unit. The integrated controller will detect the software was not properly installed, and restart
the update.
