Seaash 160 Digital
und 160 Offshore
You can easily update your new flash unit yourself at home. Please read the following technical
information and safety instructions carefully in advance. Incorrect installation can cause seri-
ous damage and malfunction of the flash unit.
The SEAFLASH 160digital allows for a quick upgrade via the included S6/Micro USB adapter
and an active computer connection. You can see the current software version (e.g. v.01) on the
bottom right of the display when you switch off the device.
Visit our website www.seacam.com to find out whether new firmware is available and whether
your device needs to be upgraded.
STEP BY STEP GUIDE
Download the appropriate firmware from the SEACAM server at www.seacam.com and save
the file.
SF160vxx.bin (correct file name) xx stands for the software version.
Do not modify or open the file with any other software or program. Changes to the file lead to
an incorrect hash check of the software and a successful update cannot be performed.
1. Go to the SET menu, select Firmware Upgrade, set YES with the main knob (2) and
confirm with the push button (3).
Firmware upgrade – YES
2. The flash unit will now ask for a USB connection. Now connect a USB cable to your
computer and connect it using the supplied S6 / USB adapter with the flash unit.

Connect USB cable.

ATTENTION:
ONLY USE THE USB ADAPTER DIRECTLY TO THE S6 SOCKET OF THE FLASH AND NEVER
CONNECT A TTL CABLE IN BETWEEN.
ATTENTION:
Connect a USB cable to the computer ONLY if the flash unit tells you on the interface and
INSTRUCTIONS TO CONNECT are given on the display. Before the flash unit starts overwrit-
ing, you can cancel the process by switching the flash unit off with the main switch (1) OFF.
3. If the connection is successful, your computer will now show the flash unit as a USB
mass storage device (USB Mass Storage). This mass storage device is a
FAT device. (100kB, 512 bytes, no exFAT)
4. If the computer asks for it, format it using the above values. If possible, keep the
memory free of files or directories to provide enough storage space for the firm-
ware upgrade.
5. The flash unit will now ask you to copy the SF160vxx.bin file:
Copy here
SF160vxx.bin
then remove
USB cable.
Copy the downloaded file to the USB mass storage device folder, wait for the process
to complete and remove the USB cable. Once the cable is removed, the memory will
start overwriting after an internal system check.
6. The flash unit now checks the compatibility of the firmware. If the test is successful,
the update process begins and a graphic bar shows the progress of the update on the
display.

INFORMATION:
If an error occurs, the process stops and an error code is shown on the display. Switch the
flash unit to OFF and start the process again after waiting for a moment. If the problem per-
sists, contact us at SEACAM or a SEACAM Service Center.
