Profilux 3 upgrade instruction

[zhangg3]

Where can I find the instructions to do the hardware upgrade to P3? I thought I saw a link here somewhere but can't find it anymore.

For those of you who have done it already, do the following steps sound about right?

1. Install hardware
2. Install firmware 5.00g
3. Install new ProfiluxControl 5.0.0.4

Does the older version (4.0.8) of ProfiluxControl needs to be uninstalled before installing the new ProfiluxControl software?

Thanks!

1. No
First step connect controller before install and write down your ADC temp values ADC1 and ADC2 THEN fit kit

2. Uninstall Version 4.XX

3. Install version software version 5.04

4. Update firmware to 5.0H

5. uninstall software 5.04

6. install version .505 software

7. enter ADC values writen down previous.

So I skipped the ADC value step. Do I have to revert to the PII to get these? Or can I just calibrate the thermometer with my reference thermometer? I uninstalled Profiluxcontrol v4 and installed the latest v5 and now I cannot connect. This is not as easy as I thought, but what I wouldn't do to save a few bucks I guess ...

Just refit the plus II fron board and connect to plus II software, take the readings and then refit the P3 board, while you are at it you can check out this

OK ... I did it and got it working. I've got the ADC numbers.
