Introduction
A) The device's configuration file is copied to the Multi-Loader's SD card. See the procedure on page 15.
B) The configuration file is generated by SoMove then transferred to the Multi-Loader's SD card. See the procedure on page 15
.
1) The user selects and then transfers the configuration file from the Multi-Loader to the device. See the procedure on page 16
.
2) Once the initial transfer is complete, the use r can use Quick St ore mode, which all ows the Multi-Loader t o load the same upd ate file
on several devices in succession. (See page 17
)

devices using Quick Store
1) The user downloads the device's specific update file.
2) The user transfers the device's firmware update file from the PC
to the Multi-Loader's SD card. See "Connection to a PC" on page 12
.
3) The user selects and then transfers the product's firmware update
file from the Multi-Loader to the drive. See the procedure on page 30
.
4) Once the initial transfer is completed, the user can use Quick
Store mode, which allows the Multi-Loader to load the same
updated file on several devices.

The Multi-Loader is a standalone tool for transferring configuration files to devices with their power on or off.
• The Multi-Loader is used to set device parameters by loading a configuration file onto the device(s). (Devices must have the same
reference. A consistency check is performed b efore the dat a trans fer). On some devices the p arameters can be set with t hem stil l in
their box or before they are powered up.
- This portable tool has been designed to load up to fifty devices a day and has a battery life of six days. However, this depends
on the transfer time, the size of the configuration fi les and other parameters ass ociated with the settings for the Multi-Loa der and
the connected devices.
- It can configure ten drives in less than five minutes.
- The Multi-Loader can provide the power supply for certain devices if they are turned off during the transfer.
• The Multi-Loader is also a firmware update tool.
-The "Password FW" mode can be used to help protect against incorrect operation b y means of a passwo rd. See the "Password
FW" menu on page
27.
All representations of the ATV12 drive throughout this document are given by way of example only to symbolize a device. Please refer to
