Installing using a USB memory device
Important! Do not remove a USB memory device while the fixture is updating files.
The following are required in order to install firmware using a USB memory device:
• The Atomic 3000 LED firmware update file, available for download from the Martin website at
http://www.martin.com.
• A USB memory device with the update file copied from a PC into the USB device’s root directory.
To install the Atomic 3000 LED firmware:
1. Download the .BANK (bank) firmware file from the
Atomic 3000 LED Product Support / Tech Docs
page at www.martin.com, unzip it if necessary, and
copy it to the root directory of a USB memory
device.
2. Read the firmware release notes carefully to check
for any instructions or warnings.
3. Disconnect the data link from the Atomic 3000 LED.
4. See Figure 11. Insert the USB memory device into
the Atomic 3000 LED’s USB host socket. The fixture
should recognize the USB device, illuminate the
display and show
UPDATING FILE LIST in the
display while it checks and if necessary updates its
internal memory with any new firmware versions
stored on the USB device. If the fixture does not
recognize the USB device, scroll to the
USB menu
under SERVICE in the control panel.
5. When the fixture has updated its internal memory,
AVAILABLE FIRMWARE will appear in the display.
You can now scroll through the firmware versions available in memory.
6. To install a firmware version, select it by scrolling with the UP and DOWN buttons and then pressing
ENTER. The Atomic 3000 LED asks you to confirm installation of the new firmware. If you do not want to
install that version, press MENU.
7. Allow the fixture to install the firmware and reboot.
8. Remove the USB memory device. The newly-installed firmware version will now be displayed in the
INFORMATION menu.
9. Reconnect the data link.
10. Cycle power off and on. Check that the fixture resets correctly. If an error message appears in the
display, cycle power off and on again and check that the fixture now resets correctly.
11. If you have installed a new firmware version, check the Martin™ website at www.martin.com to see
whether an updated User Guide is available for the new firmware.
