The use of the manual depends on the version of the firmware and the DatafoxStudioIV or the DFComDLL. Gather from the following table which manual matches which version. For different combinations no support can be offered.
Firmware StudioIV and DLL validity
Firmware: 4.03.09.xx. Studio: 4.03.09.xx Dll: 4.03.09.xx
The DatafoxStudioIV is backward compatible. This means that you can configure a device with a newer DatafoxStudioIV also older firmware, the device only supports the natural functions that are implemented in the older firmware version. Ie, relevant to the functions that are possible, is always the manual state that the firmware associated with the Setup equivalent. It is not possible to provide a centering firmware configured with a stand of DatafoxStudioIV to who is older than the firmware. recommendation: If possible, use always the current version of DatafoxStudioIV. What features are supported in which software versions, is from the file: Datafox MasterIV, SW version xxx.pdf list as shown. The file is located on the Datafox DVD and for download on the homepage.

3.5. Temperature
The device has an approved temperature range of - 20 ° C to + 70 ° C. A heater is not necessary for outdoor use. Due to the inherent heat of the electronics and power supply, the temperatures in the unit are higher even at ambient temperatures below -20 ° C. Condensation water only occurs when a cold object comes into the heat and would therefore only be an issue for mobile devices. We recommand, if you use the devices outsite, then let it running permanently. Both in terms of temperature as well as condensation, it is recommended to not switch off devices which are used outdoors.
View recessed Installation in A front plate / Mounting plate .
The connection area is set up to the top of the apparatus, so that no water coming from above (e.g., rain) could penetrate. Only jet water from below would be a problem. Should additional conditions beyond the normal weather cause the water to come from below, the terminals can be sealed to the wall when mounting. For the EVO terminals it is advisable to mount the units on the heel of the front shell. This would sink the entire back of the device with the connections and in the inaccessible area. In order to allow such mounting, a mounting surface must be provided by the customer. For example, In boxes with front panel. In the case of bell systems / mailboxes / barriers, mount­ing plates are usually already available which can be used for this purpose.

4.3. Kompatibilität Compatibility
The compatibility must be observed urgently between:
- Datafox devices and the device firmware
- Device firmware and device setup
- Device firmware and communication DLL
- Communication DLL and DatafoxStudioIV
- DatafoxStudioIV and device setup
4.3.1. Firmware File Archive (*.dfz)
Description
Device files (*.hex) of the MasterIV devices are delivered in a common firmware file archive. It has the file extension DFZ (stands for Datafox Zip). Now simply the firmware file archives (*.dfz) are in­dicated instead of the device files (*.hex). This applies to the DatafoxStudioIV and the DLL. The in­dication of device files (*.hex) is still possible.
Function of the Archive
The transfer routine of the device file selects the right file from the firmware file archive on the basis of the hardware options available in the device. Thus, it is guaranteed that all hardware components available in the device are supported by the corresponding firmware.
Manual Selection of a File
If you do not want to integrate the archive in your installation, you have the possibility to add single device files from the archive to the installation. The file format of the firmware file archive is ZIP. Hence, you can open the archive with every standard ZIP-program. Via the entry "Open With" in the context menu you can select an appropriate program for opening the file. If necessary, you can call up a program combined with this file format to open the file by renaming the file from DFZ to ZIP. In the archive you find a file named "Inhalt.pdf"; it contains information which file (*.hex) of the ar­chive matches your device. Extract the desired device file (*.hex) and rename it if necessary. A re­naming of a file is possible at any time, because all information are in the file itself. You can state the device file extracted before as device file in DatafoxStudioIV and at calling the DLL function. It is still tested if the file can be loaded into the chosen device before the transfer takes place.
4.3.2. Datafox Devices and Device Firmware
Each Datafox device has an electronic flat module. The module has specific hardware equipment concerning the options (e.g. mobile radio, WLAN, fingerprint,...). Due to technical conditions, differ­ent options are mutually exclusive. Currently, not all hardware options can be supported in one firmware file due to limited program memory. This means that each device with specific hardware options needs a proper firmware to support the hardware options by the software.
!
Caution:
Hardware generation V 3 is supported from version 04.02.00.x onwards. The Data­foxStudioIV is compatible up to and including firmware version 04.01.x.y. Older ver­sions 04.00.x.y are not supported any more.
4.3.3. Device Firmware and Device Setup
The firmware (operating system) of the device and the device setup (*.aes data file = application program) form a unit. By the device setup, the runtime behavior of the device (the firmware) is de­termined. This means the response of the device to input events by the user or the environment (e.g. digital inputs). In principle, only those functions of the device are executed that are supported by the firmware and defined via the setup. Prior to the productive commencement, you should there-
fore test each setup with the corresponding device or on a device with the same hardware options and firmware.
4.3.4. Device Firmware and Communications DLL
A firmware supports certain functions, dependent on the hardware options. The communication DLL is the interface between the firmware and the DatafoxStudioIV or your processing software. There­fore, the firmware must always have the same or a lower version number as the communication DLL.
Note:
If your application uses a newer version of the DLL than the firmware does, you can only use functions that are supported by the firmware. Otherwise, you will receive an error message (e.g. function not supported) which has to be analyzed.
4.3.5. Communications DLL and DatafoxStudioIV
Note:
The DatafoxStudioIV and the communication DLL are developed and released as a bundle. Therefore, they have to be used as a bundle. A newer version of DatafoxStudioIV does not work with an older DLL.
4.3.6. DatafoxStudioIV and Device Setup
With the DatafoxStudioIV, you create a device setup (application program) for the Datafox device. That means that in the setup only those functions were defined which were available in the Data­foxStudioIV version at the time of the setup creation. The DatafoxStudioIV you use for opening a device setup may thus only be newer but never older than the DatafoxStudioIV version you used to create the device setup.
Note:
The updates are always available for download on our homepage www.datafox.de.
!
Caution:
When new devices are delivered, the latest firmware is loaded on the devices. If you wish to work with an older firmware version, please perform a downgrade. Please observe the compatibility notes in the release notes of the respective firmware ver­sion.
The data file <Device name>, Software Versionen Stand <version number>.pdf shows which functions are supported by which software release. You will find the file on the product CD. Please also follow the instructions given in the chapters of the manual.
4.3.7. Update / Downgrade
A firmware update or downgrade is a very sensitive process. Possibly, a reset of the main communication to RS232 may occur. In any case, consider the information regarding the compatibility in the software version list.
Firmware Update
!
Caution:
Before starting a firmware update, please check on the basis of the software version list whether there are any version dependencies that must be observed.
For example: when changing from Version 04.00.xx to version 04.01.xx, at least version
04.00.23.769 or higher must be present in order to run the update to version 04.01.xx success­fully.
Firmware Downgrade
A firmware downgrade is not recommended. We are constantly working towards improving the software/firmware; all functionalities are still in­cluded in new versions. New software always offers better functionalities and possible bugs are fixed.
!
Caution:
When performing a firmware downgrade the firmware has to be transmitted to the device twice. This has technical reasons. Errors shown on the display of the device after the first transfer can be ignored.
5. Device
Note:
It has to be taken care of a suitable protection from direct sunlight because the synthetic materials are not 100% UV resistant. Fading simply is an optical defect which does not restrict the function of the device.
!
Caution:
Pleas keep in mind that MasterIV terminals use a flash memory. According to the manu­facturer each memory sector (512 byte) can be written to a maximum of 100,000 times. The firmware of the terminals distributes the access to the memory sectors, this tech­nique is called wear levelling. Bad blocks in case of write or read failures are not used anymore. However, despite this technique it is not advisable to write the memory too frequently. The application should initialize a new list transfer only after a change of the list data but not cyclically.
Keep in mind the message - FlashService - in the display of the device. It means that the live time of the flash memory according to the manufacturer instruction will be reached soon. Then the device has to be sent to Datafox for service.
5.1. Commissioning
On delivery, the device is fully functional and configured with a demo setup so that you can test the input immediately. After establishing the power supply the device will switch on automatically.

5.6.1. Modules for devices of hardware V4
5.6.1.1. Description of the various extension modules
The Datafox devices of the generation V4 are particularly distinguished by the variable configuration of individual modules. Depending on the device, a certain number of module locations are available. These can be individually equipped with the individual available modules. Depending on the size of the module, the individual modules occupy one or two module locations. Thus, e.g. the GPRS module (mobile radio) requires 2 module slots and one relay module only needs one module slot.
