Installing using a Martin Companion Cable
To install the ERA 150 Wash firmware using a Martin Companion Cable:
1. Apply power to the ERA 150 Wash fixture(s) and allow it to boot
2.
Connect the Martin Companion Cable’s USB connector to a USB port on
your PC. Connect the Martin Companion Cable’s XLR connector to
either the fixture’s DMX IN connector or the DMX link.

Companion application correctly detects the Martin Companion Cable (a
green dot should appear next to

(

in Martin
Companion. Do not disconnect the Martin Companion Cable or power
off the fixture(s) until the upload is complete and the fixture(s) has
successfully rebooted.

have all rebooted correctly.
Installing using a USB memory device

where you want to save the firmware.

. Martin Companion will automatically save the
firmware files in a correctly named folder to the USB drive’s root
directory.

name is the fixture type and software version. Then use an
Eject
command in Windows to make sure that you can remove the drive safely,
and remove the drive from the PC.
