DAVIS Vantage Pro2 Console Updater - Manual (Page 2)

Status LED Summary Table
Troubleshooting Notes
On power up, the Updater beeps twice and sequences the colors of the LED. When
the LED is GREEN it is ready to use. The first beep indicates the processor is run-
ning. The second beep means the updater is ready to update console firmware.
• If you do not hear a beep after powering up, the battery is dead or something
is wrong with the Updater.
• If, after pressing the Start button the LED does not change to flashing YEL-
LOW but instead beeps twice and goes to RED, the Updater cannot talk to the
console. Check connections and press Start again.
• If there is a problem in programming the status LED will be solid RED.
• If the console did not program correctly, you can push the Start button to try
to program it again.
• If the programming is not verified, the updater will beep three times.
Note: The Vantage Pro Updater sends diagnostic messages through its serial port that may be helpful if
the operator is puzzled about what is going on. These messages can be viewed in PROCOMM or
HYPERTERMINAL.

Solid Green The Updater is ready. If after programming, it means
everything programmed ok.
Solid Red The target flash did not program
correctly. If just after the Start button is
pushed, the Updater is not talking
to the target at all.
Solid Red If this happens when the updater
has just been turned on, the bat-
tery is low.
Flashing Yellow Target flash pages for firmware
are being programmed or veri-
fied.
Flashing Red The firmware update failed veri-
fication. If the condition repeats, the Up-
dater flash memory may be cor-
rupt. Reload the firmware into
the VP Updater.
