Transferring Software From Luminaire to Luminaire
It is possible to transfer specific software versions between luminaires. As in the case of installing new
software versions, multiple luminaires can be programmed at the same time if they are data linked
together (refer to
“Connecting Data and Power” on page 18
), however a maximum of 32 luminaires
can be updated at once.
The transfer process can be used to download an earlier or later version of the
Luminaire Software
to
other connected luminaires.
Hardware Requirements
Data cables used in this process must have two twisted pairs and a shield. It is also recommended that
cables meet all other USITT DMX specification requirements. Refer to

Loopback and termination connectors are used in this process. Refer to
for more information regarding the construction of these connectors.
