Introduction
A) The device's configuration file is copied to the Multi-Loader's SD card. See the procedure on page 16.
B) The configuration file is generated by SoMove then transferred to the Multi-Loader's SD card. See the procedure on page 16
.
1) The user selects and then transfers the configuration file from the Multi-Loader to the device. See the procedure on page 17
.(Step
1 to 3)
2) Once the initial transfer is complete, the user can use Quick Store mode, which allows the Multi-Loader to load the same update file
on several devices in succession. (See page 17
Step 1 to 4)
Duplicating or generating configuration files
A) Configuration duplicated
B) Configuration generated

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 13
.
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 before the data transfer). On some devices the parameters can be set with them still 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 files and other parameters associated with the settings for the Multi-Loader 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 by means of a password. 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
the device compatibility tables on pages 15
and 29.
All bold blue text in the manual (e.g. "Main menu / Action") corresponds to the messages displayed on the Multi-Loader screen.

Battery life
Depending on the type of batteries used, the Multi-Loader can transfer up to 300 configuration files.
Power save feature
To prolong battery life, a standby function is activated within a programmable time delay; the Multi-Loader is reactivated by pressing the
ON/OFF button. (See the display parameters menu on page 28
Connection to a powered-up PC or device can also help conserve battery power, as the power supply from the connected device takes over
from the batteries.
