Vertex Illumina help

[Sixpack]

Hi
Does anyone know if I am able to swap head unit controller from one Illumina to another without damaging the light?
The reason is that I have 2 Illumina and one unit doesn’t hold time and date memory even though I replaced the back up battery, while the other one works fine. One of the unit is for back up in case of failure but I just want to make sure it’s ok to swap controllers when the time is needed with no issues.
Thanks

Yes you can do this.

what if one was a 200 and the other 260? firmware have to be same? you have done this before without issues?

The front panels are universal to all models (both size and power). Firmware is stored in the first pad, as long as that thing works, you're fine to swap the front panel. I was the North American repair technician for Vertex for seven years, I've fixed a few of these things :)

Ok I’ll try tks for advice

So it works but there’s a module error message that pops up upon initiation
Is this a concern?

Reflash the unit.

Not much info on the net on how to do that

Do you have a V-link?

Here's a video I made a long time ago:

The process is a tiny bit different so far as the prompts are concerned, but it's easy to figure out.
