A single AXR-WAVES server can communicate with up to 16 wireless devices. The
8-position GROUP ADDRESS DIP switch sets the starting address (+ 15) for the
group device numbers. For example, if the DIP switch is set to 128, the AXR-WAVES
(or WAV-LNK) allocates device numbers 128 through 143 (128+15). The Group Address DIP switch setting on the WAV-LNK must be set identical to the Group Address switch setting on the AXR-WAVES server.
Device numbers for the WAV-PK and the WAV-PKM commonly begin at 128 and
are set using touch-screen menus on the full-sized and mini-touch panels. Refer to
the instruction manual supplied with your touch panel for detailed information.

The four-position GROUP ID DIP switch sets the identification number to synchronize communication between the wireless devices and AXR-WAVES. Each AXRWAVES must have a unique GROUP ID number. The maximum number of AXRWAVES you can connect to a Central Controller is 16. When a WAV-PK or WAVPKM falls within the device number range set on the AXR-WAVES GROUP
ADDRESS DIP switch, it must also be set to the same GROUP ID number. The
Group Address DIP switch setting on the WAV-LNK must be set identical to the
Group Address setting on the AXR-WAVES server.
For example, if the AXR-WAVES (or WAV-LNK) GROUP ADDRESS DIP switch is
set to 128 and the GROUP ID DIP switch is set to 1, the WAV-PK, WAV-PKM, or
WAV-LNK devices 128 through 143 must have their GROUP ID DIP switch set to 1.
If the AXR-WAVES GROUP ID number does not match the WAV-PK, WAV-PKMs,
or WAV-LNK GROUP ID, they will not communicate properly. Figure 20 shows a
GROUP ID DIP switch and a quick reference for the DIP switch numbers and their
values.

Firmware Upgrades
Overview
Firmware upgrades allow you to install the latest available operating system for
your AXR-WAVES or Wave Packs. This section provides the information required
for removing an old firmware integrated circuit (ICs) and installing a new firmware
upgrade IC.
You will need a Phillips screwdriver and a non-conducting flat-blade tool to slip
under the installed firmware IC to lift it up and out of the IC socket.
AXR-WAVES Server Firmware
Upgrade of the AXR-WAVES firmware is accomplished by following the procedures
below and as shown in Figure 36.
1. Disconnect the AXlink connector from the rear of the AXR-WAVES housing.
2. Using a small Phillips-head screwdriver, remove the two screws on each side of
the AXR-WAVES housing cover.

not used.
Ground yourself before touching anything within the AXRWAVES housing. If your body
retains any static electrical
charge and you touch the circuit board, severe damage will
occur to the components
3. Remove the cover by lifting up while tilting the rear of the cover forward at the
same time.
4. Using a non-conducting flat blade tool, pry the firmware chip from its socket by
placing the non-conducting tool between the firmware chip and its mounting
socket.
5. After removing the existing firmware chip, position the new firmware chip in
the mounting socket. Ensure the alignment slots (on the firmware chip and the
socket) are aligned (see Figure 36). Then apply sufficient pressure to the chip to
seat it in the socket.
6. Replace the AXR-WAVES housing cover back on the housing and secure the
cover with the four screws removed in step 1.
WAV-PK Battery Pack Firmware
Perform the following to replace the WAV-PK firmware IC.
1. Remove the WAV-PK battery cover by pressing outward on each of the battery
cover release tabs while lifting upward and backward at the same time (see
Figure 29).
2. Grasp the battery and lift it from the battery compartment. Then, pull the bat-
tery clip from the battery.
Caution
Use extreme care when prying
the firmware chip from its strip
sockets. The firmware chip sits
on top of another integrated
circuit and you may damage
the lower circuit or destroy
circuit board traces if care is
3. Turn the WAV-PK upside down and remove the four screws (Figure 37) holding
the bottom cover to the top cover.
4. Remove the bottom cover by lifting up and forward at the same time (Figure 37),
as the arrow (
á) shows. This will allow the bottom cover to clear the Wakeup
button.
5. Lift the main circuit board and the connector board from the WAV-PK housing
and turn them over (when the bottom cover is first removed, you are looking at
the bottom of the main circuit board and it must be flipped).
6. Refer to Figure 37 for component location, then disconnect the antenna from the
receiver/transmitter module, allowing unrestricted access to the firmware chip.
7. Using a non-conducting, flat-blade tool, pry the firmware chip from the strip
sockets. See arrow (
á) for the position and direction placement for your non-
conducting pry tool.
