for COUNT or the Swap Display softkey was pressed) then the weight is not displayed. The piece
count total will be displayed in the left display area.

9.11 Updating Firmware
To update firmware of the
Counterpart
, you must have Revolution installed and a .hex file on your computer. Visit
www.ricelake.com
to download this free configuration software and the latest .hex file.
Note
If the hex file is the same version as is currently in the indicator, the firmware update will not reset the
configuration. This is helpful if the firmware becomes corrupt and you want to reload the same firmware.
However, it is always recommended that configuration be backed up in Revolution to avoid any data loss.
1. Unplug power to the
Counterpart
and remove top from the base of the unit.
2. Wire the serial cable to the
Counterpart
’s Port 1. Refer to Table 9-7 for cable connection settings.
