When you connect to an SCS controller installed in a cooler using Lab app, you update the firmware.
Each SCS controller contains two microprocessors:
- Hi-side micro - Responsible for all voltage, power and current monitoring and S1 and S2 Switching.
- Main micro - Responsible for all control algorithms.
- Open Lab app on your desktop and connect to a nearby SCS controller.
- Click FIRMWARE UPDATE menu heading to open the parameter editing section. (See image below).
- Click CLOUD STORE to scan for Cloud-stored firmware files.
- Select the file you want to use from the list and click DOWNLOAD. Files with the name “SCS_OTA” are main micro files while files called “SCS_DUAL” are main micro and hi-side files.
- Click START SCAN to scan for nearby devices then select the model’s name from the list to upgrade. If you are connecting to an SCS you will be able to see a Bluetooth Indicator light flashing once the SCS is successfully connected.
- Click SELECT IMAGE FILE to select one of the locally stored firmware files that you have downloaded.
- Click START UPGRADE to begin updating the firmware on the connected device.
Wait until you see a confirmation message “Firmware Update Complete” before navigating elsewhere. Otherwise, you will need to try again.
