Applies ONLY For EDM-730/830 Units V3.17 and newer

Introduction

In order to update your EDM-730/830 application firmware, you will need access to a personal
computer with a USB interface and have a USB FLASH drive (commonly referred to as a “thumb drive”).

Step 1 – Verifying Applicable EDM-730/830 Version for this update

• Hold the Lean Find button (LF) while powering “ON” the EDM

• Continue to hold LF until you see a screen with product information text.

• Verify that the Firmware Revision is 3.17.xxx or higher.

Step 2 – Creating the Installation Media

• Insert an industry standard USB FLASH drive into a personal computer with access to the EDM-
730/830 application update.

• Copy the update package file with .pkg extension (EDM_Update_1402201423.pkg) to the USB
drive. Be sure that the package file name is not modified in any way.

Step 3 – Updating the EDM

• With power to the EDM turned “OFF” hold STEP and LF buttons on the EDM and turn power to
the EDM “ON”

• The EDM will start with a blue screen titled “AppLoader”

• Insert the USB FLASH drive created in Step 2

• The EDM screen will change to show “EDM730/830” and “Version 3.43” at the center of the

screen and “Install EDM Update dated 02/20/14 02:23 PM” in the lower left corner of the
screen.

• Tap the button labeled “INSTALL” (the LF key) to start the EDM update process.

• The process will verify the integrity of the install package and begin extracting files to be

installed on the EDM.

• When the installation is complete (all files have been installed successfully and verified), the
EDM will automatically boot, and start updating the AppLoader portion of the system.

• If prompted to update the AppLoader, press the key labeled “YES”. DO NOT POWER OFF THE
EDM DURING THIS UPDATE.

• When the AppLoader update is complete, the EDM will automatically boot, ready for normal
operations.

Step 4 – Verifying Correct Installation

• Hold the Lean Find button (LF) while powering “ON” the EDM

• Continue to hold LF until you see a screen with product information text.

• Verify that the Firmware Revision is 3.43.000 and Check Sum value is 04D19B74.

• Verify BootLoader version is 6.06 and AppLoader version is 2.41
