8 UPDATING FIRMWARE
When the NovaDrier is powered on, the Temperature Control Dual Display will show the current
firmware version across both displays. When required or advised, firmware updates are loaded into
the NovaDrier via a SD flash memory card.
The SD flash memory card slot is located within the NovaDrier’s electrical cabinet. Firmware updates
can be supplied via shipment of a pre-loaded SD flash memory flash card or may be downloaded or
sent via email and loaded onto your own SD flash memory card.
Firmware Updates apply when the NovaDrier is turned on. After the firmware is updated, the
firmware file is deleted from the SD card. This is to prevent repeated update attempts of the firmware
in the event that the flash card is left in the SD slot indefinitely. If more than one NovaDrier is to be
updated, request additional pre-loaded SD cards from NOVATEC, or instructions on copying the file
onto your computer prior to updating, so the card can be reloaded for updating other dryers.
Procedure:
1. Disconnect power to the NovaDrier prior to opening the electrical cabinet. The cabinet door
opens by rotating the two ¼-turn latches counter-clockwise. Locate the elevated printed
circuit board in the lower left corner of the cabinet and the SD card slot on its base.
2. Insert the SD update card into the slot until it clicks. Note that some dryers have “large”
slots (about an inch wide) and some have “small” slots (about ½” wide).
Small slots take the SD card directly. Large slots require the use of an
SD card adaptor.
3. Close the electrical box door and close the ¼ - turn latches. Reconnect
power.
4. To update the firmware, turn on the machine. On power up, the UPPER
and LOWER displays will show “UPT” and an incremental counter from
000 to 100. It will then display the new firmware version.
5. Once the updated version disappears and temperature is once again displayed on the
readouts, the update is complete. Shut the dryer off once again and disconnect power.
Open the cabinet and remove the SD card.
6. Default settings must be reloaded following a firmware update. At the dryer’s dual control
readouts, use the upper “UPPER” display and press the upper left and lower right buttons
simultaneously to enter Set-up mode.
7. Use the up and down buttons of the UPPER readout to navigate to the setting “LdF” (Load
Factory defaults), then hold the Select (upper left) button down for 2 seconds.
8. When the Select button is released “dne” (done) will be displayed on the top readout,
indicating the factory default settings are done being restored.
9. NovaDrier’s equipped with the Energy Saver feature must be have this feature re-activated
and the Energy Saver temperature set, to complete the firmware update process.
10. At the dryers’ dual control readouts, use the upper “UPPER” display and press the upper
left and lower right buttons simultaneously to once again, enter Set-up mode.
11. Use the up and down buttons to navigate to the setting “ES” (Energy Saver).
12. Press the Select (upper left) button and view ”Off” setting on the readout. The desired
energy saver temperature may now be set with the up and down arrows.
13. Lock in your setting by pressing the lower left Enter button and the dryer is now ready to
operate normally with the updated firmware.
