4.3.3 Reset
Use
F10
as a hot key to re-boot the PCM2 manually.
PCM2 is automatically reset after a firmware update and also after uploading a new configuration.
4.3.4 Firmware
Click on FIRMWARE to update the PCM2 firmware. Once the firmware has been transmitted,
PCM2 performs an automatic re-boot.
A new firmware includes new PCM2 features and it is essential that you also update your PC tool,
too. The latest PC tool released is always backwards compatible. It can be used with older
versions of firmware, but new features in the tool will of course not work without a firmware update.
Use
F6
as a hot key to update firmware.
4.3.5 Manual Output Mode
Manual Output Mode is used to check the switching and current draw of any output, manually
controlled by the PC tool.
When power is applied to PCM2 it starts by default in automatic mode.
In Manual Output Mode all events are deactivated and no automatic or programmed switching is
possible. Instead, it is only possible to switch each single output ON and OFF using the PC tool.
Go to section OUTPUTS for further information.
4.3.6 Automatic Output Mode
By clicking Automatic Output Mode PCM2 is switched back into automatic mode. Automatic mode
is also re-established if the PC tool is disconnected from PCM2.
4.3.7 Manual Output Mode, Keep Current States
When this option is selected, PCM2 is in manual operating mode, but keeps its setting from the
instant when it is switched into manual mode. Any output which were switched on, remains on in
this mode, but can be switched off manually if required.
4.3.8 Get Time
Click Get Time to read date and time from PCM2’s internal real time clock.
4.3.9 Set Time
Click Set Time to update PCM2’s real time clock with the date and time from the PC connected.
Ensure that your PC clock has the required time.

requirements for WTC and WRC.
