Downloading a Device
Once all the programming has been done in Program Manager and Macro Editor, or when looking to test
a macro or a command, the DEVICE PROGRAM will need to be saved and downloaded to the DAB1
Controller. Whether programming a SINGLE Device or an Expanded System with MULTIPLE Devices,
DAB Program Manager keeps track and provides notice of whether a Device or Devices need
UPDATING…i.e. have changes been made in the Device Program that have not been downloaded to the
Device.
To Download a Device Program:
1. The Device (DAB Controller) to be programmed must have AC POWER and must be connected to
the PC via the USB PROGRAMMING PORT on the Device Front Panel using the supplied cable or
any USB “B” type cable. When properly connected, all DAB functions will be suspended and the
message: USB TRANSFER IN PROGRESS will appear in the SYSTEM STATUS Window.
2. Select and left click FILE in the PROGRAM MANAGER Menu bar.
3. Select and left click OPEN from the pull down. The OPEN Window will appear.
4. Select and left click the System name from the Open Window. The Open Window will close and the
selected System’s Device(s) will appear in the SYSTEM WORKSPACE Window. (The Device Keypad
Windows do not need to be opened to download.)
5. Select and left click COMMUNICATIONS in the Program Manager Menu bar.
6. Select and left click SEND TO DEVICE from the pull down. The DEVICES IN THE CURRENT
SYSTEM Window will open with a list of Devices and their Updating Status Figure 39. If a Device
shows: NEEDS UPDATING, this indicates changes have been made in Program Manager that have
not been downloaded to that Device. If a Device shows: UP TO DATE, this indicates no programming
changes have been made since the last time that Device Program was downloaded.
7. Left click the SEND button for the Device currently connected to the PC. The PROGRAM MANAGER
TRANSFERRING DATA Window will briefly appear. (If the COMMUNICATIONS Window opens, be
sure the DAB has AC power and check the USB connection.) The Device Status will change to UP
TO DATE after the Device program has been successfully downloaded.
8. Repeat step 7 for all other Devices in the System that need updating.
9. Left click the CLOSE button on the DEVICES IN THE CURRENT SYSTEM Window. The window will
close.
10. Test all functions from the DAB Keypads and DAB Remote to be sure the System has been properly
configured. Make changes as needed or proceed with installation.
