using FireClass FC500
(FC501_FC503_FC506) Console
software

1. Connect the communication cable of choice

(either PC - LINK or USB).

2. If you are using a USB cable, insert the USB

cable into the PC host port and install the USB

driver when asked.

3. Find the correct drivers in the FireClass FC500

(FC501_FC503_FC506) Console Software

installation directory: C:\Program Files

\FireClass\FireClass_FC500_Console\Drv.

Note:

- For 32 bit Windows

, use the X86

version.

- For 64 bit Windows

, use the X64

version.

- Windows may show a driver

security warning. In this case,

continue with the installation

procedure.

4. Proceed to the FireClass FC500

(FC501_FC503_FC506) Console software main

screen, select the

Communication

tab and

the channel you will use: RS232 (COMx) or

USB (USBx).

Figure 42: Selecting a channel

5. Proceed to the FireClass FC500

(FC501_FC503_FC506) Console software main

screen and select the

Firmware Update

tab.

6. Select

Browse

and load the .BIN packet

containing the FW (firmware).

7. The software scans the packet and then

shows the FW versions read on file and those

detected on the connected panel.

Figure 43: Scanning for firmware versions

8. Select the FW for updating and click the

Start

flash

button, as seen in Figure 41.

9. Wait until all the firmware files have been

updated (you will receive a confirmation

notice from the software).

Note:

- You may receive a fault warning

during the aux controller or the

PTSN communicator updates.

- When all FW update related faults

are automatically restored, the

system is considered fully operative

again.

10. Verify that the FW version running is the

updated version on the

Panel

tab.

Upgrading firmware using the
USB pen drive

1. Access the updated firmware packet from the

FireClass website; the correct file name has

the ‘FWxxyyzzBIN’ format.

Note:

Ensure that file name for upgrading

FW for FC503/FC506 panels is in the

following format :
