Firmware

IMPORTANT: As a result of recent inline improvements to device hardware, different firmware versions have been created that are equal in functionality, but not cross-compatible. Installing the wrong firmware will not work. Please select the correct firmware for your current firmware version below:

X-404 Firmware v2.8.1(for firmware versions 2.8 or lower)

X-404 Firmware v3.08(for firmware versions 3.0 or higher)

Firmware updates work on any previous version as long as they are compatible. Note: versions 2.X and 3.X are equal in functionality, but not cross-compatible.

400 Series Setup and Programming Demo

X-404 Setup

The diagram illustrates how this demonstration is wired. Nothing is connected to the relay contacts; however, you can still turn the relay on and off to see how it works. The input state only changes when a voltage is applied to the input. For this demonstration, we have connected one of our X-332 controllers to the input of the X-404. You can apply a voltage to the input of the X-404 by accessing the control page for the X-332 (Digital Input Control Page).

Important Information

  • Multiple users may be accessing this device simultaneously so the device can change while you are using it.
  • This unit will be reset to factory defaults daily at 2:30AM MST.
  • Please DO NOT change network or password settings.
