Factory Defaults Reset
You can reset the programming options for the Communicator to the factory settings by installing the hardware jumper. Perform
the following steps to reset the Communicator:
NOTE: Two pins require a jumper in order to reset the hardware values.
1. Remove panel front cover.
2. Locate the AUDIO/DEFAULT five pin connector in the middle of the Communicator board. On the PC1616/1832/1864 panels
pins 4 and 5 are on top. (See Figure 3). On the PC9155 panel, pins 4 and 5 on right. See Figure 5).
3. Apply a jumper to short the hardware default pins 4 and 5 together.
4. Remove all power from the panel and then apply power to the panel. Wait until the two green LEDs on the Communicator begin
flashing rapidly. (The Green LEDs will continue to flash as long as the hardware jumper is connected).
5. Remove the jumper from the hardware default pins 4 and 5. (Green LEDs will stop flashing).
NOTE: Your Communicator has now been reset to the factory default values.
Firmware Update
The firmware of the device can be updated over GPRS or Ethernet. (Remote or Local updating).
• When the firmware update begins, all LEDs are ON.
• During the firmware update process, the LEDs will be cycled individually in a chaser pattern.
• After a successful update the unit will automatically restart.
• Should the update fail, all 4 LEDs will flash ON, then OFF together at 1 second intervals.
