Firmware Update 3.0.6 for red-y compact 2 series
For the digital mass flow meters of the red-y compact series (device generation 2) a new firmware with new advanced features is available. The firmware version 3.0.6 is available free of charge and applicable to all compact 2 devices (SN > 300000).
New features & improvements:
Customers now can choose to operate the device with a gesture control (swipe control) in addition to the previous mode of operation. After the firmware update, the touch screen must be recalibrated once. The calibration of the touch screen starts automatically after the firmware update. The swipe control feature can then be activated via the menu. See operating instructions chapter 4.12.2.6 and 4.12.2.7
The device can now be operated in continuous mode for almost twice as long (approx. 5 days) with a high sampling rate of 40ms.
The user can now define the interval at which the totalizer value is written to the non-volatile memory (EEPROM). By default this is every 10 minutes (600 sec.). The user can adjust this interval in steps of seconds.
Note: A faster storage interval reduces the lifetime of the EEPROM. Changing the storage interval voids the warranty on the EEPROM. See operating instructions chapter 4.11.3.
The alarm module offers now the possibility to reset the totalizer also via an external source (e.g. push button). All the options are described in detail in chapter 4.11.3 in the operating instructions.
Important Note: After the firmware update, the touch screen must be recalibrated once. The calibration of the touch screen starts automatically after the firmware update. The swipe control feature can then be activated via the menu. See operating instructions chapter 4.12.2.6 and 4.12.2.7
For detailed information on updated features check the release note provided with the firmware update.
With the new firmware we also release updated operating instructions version A2-2. Hereby all technical details from previous manuals are no longer valid.
