ZerOS Software
ZerOS, the software running on FLX and FLX S, is regularly updated. Software updates can be downloaded from the ZerOS webpage, and installed onto your console.
Do not attempt to load "Phantom ZerOS" into the console. Phantom ZerOS is the Windows application which allows you to emulate a console running ZerOS on PC. It is not the software application for the console.
Always read the release notes prior to installing new software for important information, and handy tips.
Software updates completely wipe the console's memory. Ensure you have saved a copy of the current show file to a USB drive first, prior to installing the software.
Do not disconnect the USB stick or power during a software update. Doing so could render your console unusable.
- From the ZerOS webpage, download the latest ZerOS Version
- Once downloaded, go to your Downloads folder
- Plug a USB drive into your computer
- Copy the .exe software application file onto the root directory of the USB drive (not inside folders)
- Once copied to the USB drive, plug the USB drive into the console.
- Disconnect the DMX cables from the rear of the console - this will ensure that when the console reboots, it does not automatically patch and potentially readdress connected RDM fixtures.
- On the console, tap Setup -> Load, and choose the software application to load in.
- After choosing the software file to load in, the console will ask to confirm you are happy to proceed with the installation, and wipe the current show from the console. The console will also warn you, that disconnecting power mid installation could render the console unusable. Click Yes to proceed, or No to allow you to save your show file first.
- The console will then warn you a second time. There's no excuse for not realising your show will be lost!
- Once loaded, you will be required to switch the console off and on again to restart the console.
- Upon rebooting, sometimes the console will state that a firmware update is required. This is because in some ZerOS software updates, a firmware update is included too. If this is the case, proceed with the firmware update, again ensuring the console's power will not be disconnected mid installation.
- Once the firmware has installed, switch the console off and on again to restart the console.
- You will then boot into the newly installed software, and can reload your show file if required.
- Once the show file has been loaded, you can reconnect the DMX cables to the rear of the console.
