ERA 800 Performance User Guide
If you update firmware to a newer version, check the ERA 800 Performance area of www.martin.com to see
whether an updated version of this User Guide is available for the new firmware.
Fixture information and settings are not affected when you upload new firmware to the fixture.
Calibration data is stored in the relevant modules wherever possible so that a module will stay calibrated if is
removed from the fixture or installed in another fixture.
Important! Do not power the fixture off or disconnect the source of the firmware during an update, or the
firmware will be corrupted.
Installing using a USB memory device
The following are required in order to install firmware using a USB memory device:
• The ERA 800 Performance firmware update files available for download from the Martin website at
www.martin.com.
• A USB drive such as a USB flash memory stick formatted in Windows using the FAT32 file system.
To install the ERA 800 Performance firmware using a USB drive:
1. Create a folder in the root of a USB drive and give it the version number of the firmware update as the
folder name. Copy the eight firmware files to this folder (note that automatic updates will not work if files
are missing or placed in a subfolder of this folder).
2. Apply power to the ERA 800 Performance and allow it to boot. Insert the USB drive into the fixture’s USB
host socket. The fixture should recognize the USB drive and illuminate the display. If the fixture does not
recognize the USB drive, navigate to
SERVICE
→
USB in the control panel.
3. Scroll to the folder with the update files on the USB drive and press Enter. The update will begin
automatically and the display will show progress status. At the end of the update process the fixture will
reboot. Do not remove the USB drive until the fixture has successfully rebooted.
4. Remove the USB drive from the fixture. The newly-installed firmware version will now be displayed in the
INFORMATION menu.
5. If you are updating multiple fixtures over a DMX link, check that they have all rebooted correctly.
