Vertical Power VP-X Pro - Data Comm Loss; Firmware Updates

VP-X Installation and Operating Manual
Rev. D (August 5, 2020)
10.13 Data Comm Loss
If the data bus between the VP-X and the EFIS fails, the VP-X will continue
to operate normally and provide circuit protection. However, any data
normally displayed by the EFIS is no longer available. This includes fault
display, circuit status, conguration, software updates, and the ability to reset
faults.
Additionally, because the EFIS is no longer providing data to the VP-X, the
following functions are disabled:
• landing light wig-wag will reset to steady operation
• variable speed pitch trim will reset to normal speed operation
• ap over-speed functions are disabled
10.14 Firmware Updates
Firmware updates are performed using the PC-based Congurator
Application. Do not use the rmware update feature on the EFIS for the VP-X
Pro and Sport. This is only used for the original VP-X. Firmware updates are
available on the VP web site under support, then go to software upgrades.
The VP-X settings are kept intact during the rmware upgrade.
Do not cycle power to the VP-X during a software upgrade.
