Using the
Compact Flash
Card
The PA PowerStation uses a removable Compact Flash (CF) card for
storage purposes. You can remove the CF card, update the application
files on the CF card from a PC, and then reinstall the CF card in the
PowerStation.
CTC recommends that you purchase at least one additional CF card to
serve as a backup for your primary CF card. You may wish to have
several cards to store different projects. You can purchase additional
CF cards from CTC.
Replacing the
Compact Flash
At some point, you will probably need to remove the CF card from the
PA PowerStation flash socket for one reason or another. To do so,
complete the following steps:
1. Turn off the PA PowerStation.
Caution
The PowerStation must be turned off when inserting or
removing the CF card to avoid corrupting data.
2. Locate the ejector next to the CF socket.

3. Push the ejector button to pop the CF card out.
4. Remove the CF card.
5. Carefully insert the new card with the connector on the card
aligning with the pins inside the socket.
6. Push the CF into the slot until the card is securely seated in the
socket. Do not force!
Important
The CompactFlash has an arrow near one edge that always lines
up with a matching arrow on the label of the PA PowerStation.
Insert the CompactFlash so the arrows line up and the card seats
properly. Do not force the CompactFlash in the wrong way.
