VEMCO – VR100 Manual 28 May 2018 72
6.11 Firmware Updating
Firmware refers to the internal software that operates a VR100 receiver. It is not to be confused with VR100
PC software used to communicate with the receiver. Firmware updates are rare and will occur to either deal
with a hardware change or occasionally for a significant addition to functionality.
Pre-Update Checklist
Install the LATEST version of VR100 PC software (VR100HS), which is available at
www.vemco.com/downloads, on all PCs, laptops and field laptops prior to updating the VR100
receiver firmware.
Download the latest VR100 firmware available at www.vemco.com/downloads/.
Verify that your VR100 was purchased after March 2006. If it was purchased before March 2006 and
has not been upgraded at the factory, then you will not be able to update the firmware yourself.
Offload all data from your VR100 before installing the new firmware.
Ensure that your VR100 receiver is powered using the supplied AC Adaptor during the firmware
update process.
Updating VR100 Firmware
Connect your VR100 to an available USB port on your PC using the
supplied USB communications cable.
Run the VR100HS software and turn the VR100 receiver on. The receiver
name will appear in the Receiver Management window once it has been
detected by the software.
Select the receiver’s serial number from the list in the Receiver
Management window and click the “Update Firmware” button in the
bottom right corner of the window.
NOTE: It is important to leave the USB communications cable connected
to your receiver during the firmware installation.
Do not disturb your PC or VR100 receiver during the firmware installation.
Do not power the receiver off during firmware installation.
Only connect to one (1) receiver at a time for firmware updates.
