Eaton i-on40H Panel - Language Incompatibility Message

[NeukSales]

Hi Everyone, I've just joined the group (see my Introduction for background!) and I see that this Lounge forum has a load of support questions, so here's mine!  We have a bricked I-ON40H+ after a software upgrade to V7.07.01.  Strictly-speaking, not 'bricked' in the sense that it's a lost cause, but this damned message means I can't commission it to the client, so it's 'bricked' IMO . I know the language update has to happen before a firmware upgrade, but what we think has happened here is that the engineer thought he had executed a language upgrade (all of this from a keypad) but I don't think that happened.  Firmware upgrade was successful but we're left with this feckin language error message.  I've did several full power cycles, danced a jig and everything else, but to no avail.  My question is, is this worth saving or do we ditch it, learn a few lessons and move on; we've already spent significant amounts of time flaffing about and with no results?  Thanks.  Jamie

What did technical support say ?

[NeukSales]

Support advised on a power cycle.  Thanks for your response.

Don't know the panel but I'd attempt to save it. 

[MrHappy]

I'd rip it out & stamp on it to ensure its dead....

 

If you need to replace with same thing its probably cheaper  as a kit /

Nothing else? If you registered with them they will repair it if you send it to them ,they can probably write to it

 

Although they might not do much .....

Thanks for that.  This panel was already in situ with a client where we were carrying out a load of other work and I recommended the addition of several zones on the site. One of our guys was very familiar with this panel (duh!), so we did the biz; two radio PIRs, test, commission and it all worked like a dream - seriously, that is a top notch panel. Quite rightly, the decision was made to bring it up to the latest S/W (we do this on everything else, including NVR's, cameras, IoT, etc) to 7.07.01. We are where we are, and the client thinks the panel is around 6 yrs old but can't be sure. I've left it totally power-disconnected over the weekend, but I don't think that will change anything come Monday.

Yeah but this is all side issue and your talking about a small install

 

Take the board out put one of your spare ones in and reprogrammed it 

 

End of story with customer 

 

Go get an rma from support send board in for repair or swap , they may even have spare board they will swap with you 

 

But I guess I am basing my support experience with hkc who are very helpful for installers

Thanks for the reply.
