Control Unit IV Firmware Upgrade

To upgrade your Control Unit IV firmware to the latest version, you will have to download the firmware and checksum files indicated below. If you do not have the EAS Control Unit IV Upgrade software, you will have to download that as well.

Normally, a firmware upgrade is only required if it has been recommended by Electroline's technical support staff.

Warning:
The Control Unit's current setup will be overwritten with default values as soon as the upgrade process begins. It is therefore important to note the unit's parameters before upgrading the firmware.
