PRIME/STUDIO
SOLUTIONS
Following the firmware update of a control panel, all programming data will be converted.
However, there may be some dysfunctions due to the lack of alignment between the updated
control panel revision and the revision referring to the Prime/STUDIO solution of the system
being programmed.
It is therefore advisable to update the solution:
1. Click on the Open solution button.
2. On the window listing the saved solutions, select the solution to update.
3. Click on the Conversion Wizard button.
4. Follow the guided procedure the updated solution is generated.
TROUBLESHOOTING
• During the updating process, the keypad displays may show messages that are irrelevant.
• The maps on the Alien keypad may lose programming data.
In this case it is necessary to update the Prime/STUDIO solution being used, by matching
the firmware revisions and then restoring the Alien maps via the USB of the keypad.
• Following the first update, the Alien keypads lose their settings and therefore must be
recalibrated. Subsequent updates will not present similar problems.
• The Air2-Aria/W keypads are not to be updated if the control panel has not been previously
put into service status.
