Chapter

Installing Optional Extension Modules

The data collector uses the Extension Manager to install and uninstall extension

modules. These extension modules are licensed and ordered separately from the

basic entry level product.

The installation Secure Digital (SD) cards that you receive work with any

Dynamix 2500 data collector. Once you have installed an extension module, the

card is locked so that it can only be used with that instrument.

You can uninstall extension modules if required. When uninstalling an extension

module, you have the option to free up the license so you can install the extension

module on another instrument. This makes the extension module available to be

transferred between units.

Install Extension Modules

Follow these instructions to install an extension module.

1. Open the base cover at the bottom of the Dynamix 2500 data collector.

2. Place the extension module SD card contact side-up into the unit until it is

firmly seated in place.

3. Close the base cover.

IMPORTANT

One installation SD card is required for each instrument that needs to

be upgraded.

IMPORTANT

When ever you re-run the OS Loader software, you will re-load only the

main OS firmware. The OS loader will backup licence files and data, but

not the optional extension modules. Once you have updated the OS

firmware, install the latest version of your optional extension modules.
