056376/A Analogue Compass Repeaters
8-2 Updating the Repeater’s Firmware
Update Procedure
To update an analogue compass repeater’s firmware:
1. If the repeater is currently powered up, switch off the power first.
2. Gain access to the repeaters USB service port receptacle:
– In case of a steering or magnetic heading repeater, remove the
plastic plug from the back of the housing to access the receptacle
on the repeater PCB. If necessary, unmount the repeater from the
console to make sure that the port is freely accessible for plug-
ging and unplugging the USB cable.
– In case of a bearing or bulkhead repeater, open the repeater con-
nection box to access the receptacle inside the box.
3. At the PC, start up the SUSI application.
A login dialogue pops up:
4. You may either:
– Enter the PIN “
20097
”.
This will start up SUSI in the service mode.
Or:
– Leave the PIN empty.
This will start up SUSI in the “unknown login” mode.
In this mode, you may update the repeater firmware, but will not
be able to access the repeater’s configuration parameters with-
out quitting and restarting SUSI in the service mode.
Click to continue.
5. SUSI’s main window now opens, with the “Application” tab display-
ing a list of supported devices:
CAUTION Risk of parameter settings loss
It cannot be guaranteed that the repeater’s configuration parameter set-
tings are left intact during a firmware update.
Before updating firmware, record all parameter settings to be able to re-
enter them manually, if required.
