Configuring the Paxton BLU Expansion Controller
The Paxton BLU Expansion Controller requires configuration and initialization before use. To do this will require a Windows PC or laptop with USB
ports and internet access, or having the proper installer tool previously installed.
Install the Installer Tool software. This is available to download from the Help page of your installer login to Paxton BLU. You may wish to create a
desktop shortcut for this application.
Tip: Always ensure you have downloaded the latest version of the Installer tool to ensure you have the most recent version of firmware. The
latest version is bundled with the Installer Tool application.
Remove the power from the unit.
If your expansion controller is housed in a metal enclosure, you will need to remove the PCB from the plastic mounting bracket in order to attach
the interface adapter. Please do so carefully and be sure that the PCB is fully secured to the bracket upon completion of the firmware update
process.
CAUTION : Make sure the adapter is plugged into both rows of the header on the PCB before you proceed (see image below for
proper placement and connection)
Power up the controller with the installer tool adapter installed. Note your PC or laptop may need to download a device driver for this
device so allow this to complete first. Now run the Installer Tool by double clicking the Installer Tool application.
Click on settings and select the COM port that your PC or laptop has assigned to this application. The drop down box lists all available
COM ports.
Tip: You can confirm the COM port assigned by your computer by navigating to the Windows ‘Device Manager’ and then selecting
‘Ports (COM & LPT)’
Now click on ’View Device Details’ and then on the ‘Get Details’ button. Follow the instruction by power cycling the expansion unit so
that it goes into its bootloader and provides the required details.
