This applies to upgrading Comfort firmware which is contained in the MPU01 plugin module shown below.
MPU01 modules can be plugged in to Comfort II boards with a soldered in OTP (One-Time-Programmable) microcontroller with firmware < 5.100 only.
MPU01 modules have Flash firmware so can be upgraded using the UCM/232, UCM/USB or UCM/Ethernet with firmware 5.147 and above (UCM 5.178 and above is highly recommended)
and Comfigurator software version 3.1.3 and above.
- Switch off Comfort and disconnect the battery. Take care that self actuated sirens are silenced before attempting this
- When using UCM 5.147 to 5.155 to do the upgrade (although UCM 5.178 is recommended), remove the MPU01 module from the Comfort PCB carefully using a flat edge screwdriver or rool to prise each edge from its connector, taking care not to bend the pins. For UCM 5.156 and above, the MPU01 can be left plugged into the Comfort PCB.
- Connect the UCM to the MPU01 using the UCM programming cable.
- Connect the programming cable (with single 6 cables end) to PP1 on the MPU01
- Connect the other ends of the UCM programming cable to the UCM05 that is used for programming to PP1 (with 4 cables end) and PP3 (for 2 cables end).
- Switch on the Comfort system. Do not connect the battery. This assumes that the Comfort PCB without the MPU01 has a U1 with older firmware
- For UCM 5.147 to 5.155, start Comfigurator, go to Transfer > System Information. Comfigurator will prompt for a user login. Enter the user code. If the user code is not known, Press F0 on te keypad and enter the Engineer code instead. For UCM 5.156 and above skip this step.
- Go to Transfer > Firmware Download.
- Next, Comfigurator will prompt for the file to be downloaded. Navigate to the correct firmware file with the extension .CBF to be downloaded and select it and click "Open". Firmware can only be downloaded when the module has the same firmware type installed. Eg ULT to ULT, You will not be able to download ULT firmware to an OPT
- After doing so, Comfigurator will give a warning prompt, informing users that the firmware version will be downloaded. Click on "OK" to proceed with the firmware download.
- When completed, switch off Comfort, unplug the cables from MPU01 and plug in the MPU01 to the Comfort board.
- Switch on power to Comfort. The voice announcement "Security Off" should be heard
- Press F0, go to Engineer Menu by entering Engineer code (default 6789) and # key, and press 7,4,3 for System information. The correct Firmware version should be announced
