Starting the Flash File Loader Utility
After the files have been installed the COMPASS_S2 Flash File Loader can be selected to run.

2) Find the FSR folder and select COMPASS_S2 Flash File Loader.
After the loader is running, you can learn more about its operation by selecting Help Topics under the Help.
Preparing to Upgrade the Compass S2 Unit
1) Plug the DB-25 male connector into the port labeled "Remote" on the back of the Compass S2 unit.
2) Make sure the other end of the cable is attached to the available COM port on the back of the computer
performing the upgrade.
3) In the loader program, click on the Configuration Menu and select RS232 Setup.
4) In the Communication Settings window, select the COM port the Compass S2 is attached to by clicking in the
Serial Port field.
5) The Compass S2 defaults to a baud rate of 38.4K. The Baud Rate field should reflect this.
6) Once this is done, click on the Save button to go back to the main loader screen.
Verifying Communications between the Computer and Compass S2 Unit
1) In the loader program, click on the Program menu and select Terminal Window.
2) A terminal window will open. Several status lights are shown at the bottom of the window as well as the
communication settings in the lower left corner of the window.
3) Turn the Compass S2 unit ON and wait for it to boot.
4) Back at the Terminal window, the CTS and DSR status lights should be RED. Pressing the Enter key a couple of
times will allow the system prompt "#" to be displayed on the screen.
5) If the CTS and DSR status lights are GREEN, then check the communication settings in the loader and verify the
COM port is correct and the communication parameters match with what is displayed in the CONFIG SERIAL
menu on the Compass S2 unit.
6) If any of the communication parameters are changed within the loader, it is recommended that the Compass S2
unit be powered down and the verification process started over.
Uploading Files to the Compass S2 Unit
1) Once communications have been established and verified, click on the Start File Upload button to begin the
upgrade process.
2) The RED box next to this button will turn GREEN and two progress bars will show the status of the upload.
3) After several minutes, the loader utility will inform the user that the process is complete.
4) Once this is done, you must power down the Compass S2 unit and turn it back on for the software to take effect.
You can also close the loader utility at this time.
5) Verify the new software is in the system by looking for the version number in the TECH SUPPORT menu.
6) Once you have verified the version number, it is recommended that a factory reset be performed.
