Performing a Programming Key Memory Erase
If the key is already loaded with an application and there is the necessity
to substitute it with a different application, the user has to do a memory
erase.
The memory erase is automatically performed by FX Loader. However,
in the case where the application is loaded from a personal computer or
where the application has to be loaded from another FX15, the user has
to manually perform the memory erase.
To perform a Programming Key memory erase:
1. Power up the key, either by hot-plugging it to an FX15 (already on)
or with an AC/DC adapter.
2. Initiate the memory erase by pressing the Programming Key button
for 15 seconds.
During the erase, the green Light-Emitting Diode (LED) slowly
blinks. Then the green and the yellow LED blinks, 2 times
alternatively, and finally the green LED remains steady on. The
flash erases.
If the two LEDs blink simultaneously, it means that the erase process
has failed. Retry. When the memory is completely erased, the LEDs
stop blinking. The key is now ready for a new upload. The memory
erase is also necessary if the previous upload from the FX15 goes
wrong (communication has been interrupted).
