Issue
How to erase all data from EEPROM in a Microsmart controller.
Environment
Any DMS Microsmart controller - firmware revisions 9.x, 10.x, 11.x
Cause
Preparing a Microsmart controller for a database installation.
Resolution
The database of a Microsmart controller is held in nonvolatile memory (EEPROM). The address switch may be used to erase all information held in EEPROM.
To clear the database, set all address switches ON (positions 1-8 closed). Remove and subsequently restore power to the controller. After several seconds, the controller database will be cleared.
Remove power from the controller and reset the address switch configuration to its proper setting. Restore power to the controller.
