CF Card Replacement:
CAUTION: Due to the large variability of CF cards available on the world market and the
resulting problems with compatibility due to memory layout, signal structuring and power
requirements, REF TEK cannot guarantee a CF card will work in a REF TEK data recorder
unless it is sold through REF TEK itself. REF TEK ensures compatibility through
communications with CF manufacturers and rigorous in-house testing. Some CF
manufacturers refuse to provide adequate information or factory controls to ensure that the
product being sold today is the same as the product sold earlier under the same part
number. CF cards not purchased from REF TEK may work at one temperature but not at
another, or may fail all together.
CAUTION: For optimal performance in a REF TEK 130-SMHR recorder Compact Flash disks
should ALWAYS be formatted BY THE 130-SMHR.
Software Version:
Current software and documentation is available on our web site. Some early units may require
hardware modifications to use the latest software. Contact REF TEK if you have any queries on
the compatibility of your unit(s) and the current software release.
Firmware Update:
To update firmware from the FTP site
1. Login to our FTP site at: ftp.reftek.com/pub as:
User name: Anonymous
Password: Your E-mail address
2. Find the 130 firmware at ftp.reftek.com/pub/130/cpu/prom.
3. Download the zip file of the most recently released firmware version.
Update firmware:
Updating firmware in a 130 DAS requires the presence of a firmware file on an installed Compact
Flash device.
1. On power-up, the 130 checks the Compact Flash for the presence of ‘main.s3’ in the root directory.
2. If the ‘main.s3’ file is present on the Compact Flash, the 130:
a. Reads the file.
b. DELETES the file.
c. Re-programs the internal flash memory.
Note: DO NOT DISTURB THE UNIT DURING THIS PROCESS.
CAUTION: DAS power must be above 10.0V to update the firmware.

Follow these steps to update the firmware of a 130 DAS:
1. Unzip the ‘main.s3’ file from the downloaded zip file of the most recently released firmware.
2. Copy the desired firmware image to the root of the Compact Flash as ‘main.s3’ using a PC with a
Compact Flash reader or ftp into the 130 DAS, with a Compact Flash installed, in binary mode.
3. With the Compact Flash with the main.s3 image installed in the 130 DAS, issue a reset command.
(a) If you are at the 130 DAS:
1. Physically disconnect and reconnect power to the unit.
2. Observe the LCD for the following messages:
READING DISK DO NOT DISTURB
WRITING FLASH DO NOT DISTURB
3. The 130 DAS resets and returns to normal messaging.
(b) If you are remotely connected to a 130 DAS via telemetry mode:
1. If you are connecting remotely by a TCP connection:
a. First connect
b. Discover the unit
c. Acquire status
2. Issue a reset command from the Status screen.
3. Delete the unit from the Station List screen.
4. Wait at least 5 minutes.
5. At the Connections screen (reconnect id using a TCP connection) issue a Station Discovery again to
discover the 130 DAS station.
Note: DO NOT DISTURB THE UNIT until the start-up LCD message reappears.
