68 Revision 10 – 1/09/2015 FTS 370d/w/r
USB Firmware Update
This feature allows any unit with an
installed PCB3 Smart Board to be updated
via a USB drive. Insert the drive into the
USB port located on the lower edge of
PCB3 (see Figure 1-5). Once the update
package is located on the drive, the unit’s
current firmware version will be displayed
in a menu similar to “System X Firmware”
and ask if you want to update the
firmware. Select yes to update; once completed, the unit will reboot and the
USB drive may be removed.
Any
connected subordinate units will be
automatically updated once the USB drive
is removed and the startup sequence is
completed.
Note: Subordinate units must have
firmware version 3.0 or higher to receive
the firmware update from System 1.
Information Display Alarms
The information display provides more
comprehensive alarm information than the
alarm LED’s located on PCB 1. See Table 3-3 for a complete list of
possible alarms and their definitions.
Table 3-3 – Information Display Status and Alarm Definitions
Alarm Definition
STATUS: POWER UP
MODE
Indicates that the system is in its initial boot stage.
STATUS: DAY ALARM The connected flash head is exhibiting a white day alarm.
STATUS: WNIGHT ALARM The connected flash head is exhibiting a white night alarm.
STATUS: RNIGHT ALARM The connected flash head is exhibiting a red night alarm.
STATUS: BCN COMM
The SC 370X is experiencing a communications failure with the
connected flash head.
STATUS: MKR ALARM
The connected marker interface PCB is reporting failure of one or
more markers.
STATUS: MKR COMM
The SC 370X is experiencing a communications failure with the
connected marker interface PCB.
STATUS: SYS COMM
General communications failure indication. Any communication
failure in the system will generate a SYS COMM failure on System 1.
The SYS COMM alarm will be accompanied by a specific
communication alarm if the failure is local to System 1. Absence of a
specific communication failure on System 1 indicates a
communication failure on a subordinate unit (System 2-6). A
communication failure on any subordinate unit will be accompanied
by a SYS COMM alarm.
STATUS: CFG ALARM
The system is configured incorrectly. Examples of incorrect
configurations are:
• The SC 370 has found a marker interface PCB connected to a
system programmed as white only.
• A marker interface PCB is connected to a system configured as
Catenary.
• Four SC 370’s are discovered on a system configured for three SC
370’s.
