EP2 Reprogram Overview This document explains the process that must be used to update the firmware of an EP2 System using the Faceplate Programmer. Required Equipment Faceplate Programmer (that still has one or more tokens and is loaded with the proper program). Small flathead screwdriver. If there is no Motion Sensor installed, then the programming needs to be done directly at the EP2 connecting to the Motion Sensor Port. Please note that programming should be done with the key in the 'OFF' position. Quick Reference Guide to Faceplate LED LED Description Red: No tokens left/programming failed. Amber: Programming underway. Green: Programming complete. Important: If the Faceplate Programmer is sent purely to reprogram the firmware of an alarm module, no audio loading will take place. In this case the Faceplate Programmer will be clearly marked as having 'no audio'. In this case, once the firmware update is complete the System will emit quick tones and the LED light will remain solid Green. You may now remove the Faceplate Programmer and proceed to the next vehicle in need of reprogramming. Programming an EP2 with Motion Sensor Tech Tip: If using the Faceplate Programmer on a bus equipped with a Motion Sensor of the same case model as the Faceplate Programmer. Remove the faceplate of the Motion Sensor currently mounted in the bus by uncovering the screw near the top edge and turning it to the 'unlocked' position and then replace it with the Faceplate Programmer. The LED lights will flash Green on the Faceplate Programmer indicating it is currently updating the Boot Loader (if your model has the correct Boot Loader this step may not be required). The LED lights will turn Green momentarily indicating that the Boot Loader has been updated. The LED lights will flash Amber on the Faceplate Programmer, indicating it is currently updating the System. The firmware update will take approximately 14 seconds to complete. Once the firmware updates, the System will emit quick tones similar to when it was first plugged in. This will indicate that the firmware update is complete. At this point, a token will be removed from the total count and an audio message will play (requires external Speaker on System) saying, “Data Logging Initiated.” If the System is a model equipped with an audio Speaker, the audio files will now load. This process will take several minutes and the Amber light will flash again indicating the System is updating. After every audio file is loaded the LED light will turn Green momentarily. When the System beeps a second time and the LED light turns Green, this indicates the System has successfully programmed to the new version of software. The audio message “Programming Complete” will play every 15 seconds, informing you that all programming has been completed. Remove Faceplate Programmer and reconnect the Motion Sensor. Programming an EP2 Without a Motion Sensor Important: This section also refers to reprogramming on a bus with a different model Motion Sensor. If a different model Motion Sensor is present disconnect the Motion Sensor from the COMM port. The LED lights will flash Green on the Faceplate Programmer, indicating it is currently updating the Boot Loader (if it is required, this step may not perform if your model already has the correct Boot Loader). The LED lights will turn solid Green momentarily, indicating that the Boot Loader has updated. The LED lights will flash Amber on the Faceplate Programmer, indicating it is currently updating the System. The firmware update will take approximately 14 seconds to complete. Once the firmware updates, the System will emit quick tones, similar to when it was first plugged in, indicating that the update is complete. At this point a token will be removed from the total count and an audio message will be played (requires external Speaker on System) saying, “Data Logging Initiated.” If the System is a model equipped with an audio Speaker the audio files will now be loaded. This process will take several minutes and the Amber LED light will flash again to indicate the System is updating. After every audio file is loaded the LED light will turn Green momentarily. When the System beeps a second time and the LED light turns Green the System has successfully programmed to the new version of software. The audio message “Programming Complete” will be played every 15 seconds, informing you that all programming has been completed. Disconnect the 3-Pin Wire Harness from the System.
