Appendix 5: Firmware Updating Process
Introduction
The ARC2 remote control can be used to update the firmware of most Astera lamps that are equipped
with a RF receiver (Antenna) and can also update other ARC2 remotes.
Preparation

Download the .FRM file of the new firmware from www.astera-led.com/downloads.

Copy it onto a micro-SD card (also known as Trans Flash card) that is formatted with FAT16 or
FAT32 (most branded micro-SD cards will have this).
There might be different hardware releases of the same lamp. If the file is not suited, the lamp
will not accept it.

Slide the micro-SD card into the ARC2.

Arrange the lamps you want to update and the ARC2 to a distance of 0.5-5m (2-15ft). Make
sure, that no disturbances between the antennas can occur during update. If the transmis-
sion is interfered, lamps might get stuck during update. If this happens, they are unusable un-
til the update is completed. This can be done in two ways:
1. Do the same update again with the ARC2, not cycling power of the stuck lamps. They will
pick up again at the position they lost the transmission before.
2. Power off the lamps and start the whole update again.
