8 SERVICE SOFTWARE
The Operatherm OP3 can be loaded with different Software versions. The Customer version (with
blue bottom bar) is the only version allowed to be used in normal operation. The system function
with the Customer version of the software is described in the user manual. There is also a Service
SW version available (green bottom bar and the letter S after the version number) with extended
functionality. Below is a description of the technical menus and of the additional functions found in
the service software. Certain procedures, e.g. calibration check and log dump to USB etc. can also
be performed with the customer software version.
LOADING SOFTWARE TO THE CU.
NOTE 1
: Before this operation is performed, make sure you have one Kanmed approved USB-
memory stick containing the latest version of the Service Software AND one additional Kanmed
approved USB-memory stick containing the latest version of the User Software (in order to re-load
the user software after the service session has been performed). The USB-memory must have the
two files “kanmed_kernel” and “kanmed_ramdisk” in the root level directory. Pls. note that the
Service Software and the Customer Software version have exactly the same file names (it is
therefore not possible to identify the software type only by the file name).
NOTE 2
: When re-loading the user software back into the control unit, perform exactly the same
procedure as described below.
1. Disconnect the mains power. Turn the control unit up-side down and remove the bottom plate
(..mind the earth cable!). See disassembling instruction later in this document.
