DOWNLOADING NEW FIRMWARE TO THE HEGS5BLX

New firmware for the HEGS5BLX controller can be downloaded through the RS-232 port.
This is done through a simple windows program called Ultrak Code Server.
To download the latest version of the Code Server, visit the download section on the
Honeywell website

).
Select Keyboards and Controllers. Locate the HEGS5BLX and follow the instruction to

To download the latest version of the HEGS5BLX firmware, click the latest version and
select “Open.” This will open Winzip and install the firmware to the default directory
(C:\Program Files\Ultrak Code Server\CCTV\HEGS5BLX). If Code Server was installed
to a different drive, select the drive prior to installing.
