SATEL VERSA 3
1. Control Panel Firmware Replacement
This manual applies to the control panels with firmware version 1.00. If a newer version of
firmware is available on our www.satel.pl website, an update of the control panel firmware is
possible. For this purpose, the control panel RS-232 (TTL) port (RJ type socket) should be
connected to the computer COM port (DB9 type socket) with the SATEL made cable which is
included in the DB9FC/RJ-KPL set.
Notes:
• From the moment of establishing communication between the control panel and the
firmware updating program, the control panel will not execute its normal functions until the
firmware replacement procedure is completed.
• If, for whatever reason, the firmware replacement procedure is abruptly terminated (e.g.
because of power failure) and, as a result, the control panel firmware gets damaged, the
control panel will not start normally, but will be waiting for the firmware replacement to
begin.
1.1 Firmware replacement using the service function
1. Enter the service code on the keypad (by default: 12345) and press the key.
2. Press in turn the
keys to start the service mode.
3. Press in turn the
keys (the STARTER function will start). The "Run
updating program on PC..." message will be displayed. The control panel will be waiting
until communication with the firmware updating program is established (press the

establish communication with the control panel.
7. Information will be displayed showing the version of firmware installed on the control
panel and available in a file (version, compilation date, language) and a window will
open, prompting whether you would like to continue. If the firmware is to be replaced,
press "Yes" to begin the control panel firmware replacement.
1.2 Firmware replacement without entering the service mode
1. Start the control panel firmware update program on the computer.
2. Click on the button.
3. A window will open where you should indicate the computer COM port to which the
control panel is connected and select the RESTART field.
4. Power down the control panel (first switch off the 230 V AC circuit to which the control
panel transformer is connected, and then the battery).
5. Power up the control panel (first switch on the battery, and then the 230 V AC circuit to
which the control panel transformer is connected).
6. Information will be displayed showing the version of firmware installed on the control
panel and available in a file (version, compilation date, language) and a window will open
prompting whether you would like to continue. If the firmware is to be replaced, press
