    Method 1: Auto Start Update from USB

    Tools Required: USB 2.0 stick 8gb or 16gb
    Time: 15 minutes

     

    1. Download latest Integrity SL software file "slconsole.lfupd" from Product Software Release Center and extract the contents of that zip file on the top level root directory on any Windows formatted FAT32 USB stick. Note: Alternatively, the following article Life Fitness, Cybex Console Software from Facility Connect shows how to download console software from Facility Connect and extract to Root Directory of USB Stick.

    2. Insert USB stick into USB port in front panel. Note: Make sure the USB port spring loaded door is lifted and USB is fully seated.

    3. Software update will auto start and display STARTING SOFTWARE UPDATE. The update will take 5-10 minutes.

    • Note: Do Not remove the USB drive from the console while the scrolling message “Starting Software Update” is being displayed. Example image in Fig.1.

    4. Once the software files are copied and the software update procedure starts you will see a screen showing the software update progression, like the image below Fig.2.

    • Note: It is now safe to remove the USB drive from the console at this point.
    • Additional Note: If the USB is not removed, when the console resets after the software update process is completed, it will start the software update process over again.

    4. To update all outdated equipment, click the Update All button in the Outdated tile.

     

    Method 4: Updating directly from the console

    • Available with release 6.1.x and higher
    • Internet connection to the console required
    • Steps:
      1. Enter Manufactures Configuration and migrate to the Diagnostics option
      2. Scroll to find “SW UPDATE” and select enter
      3. Upon entering the menu, console scrolls “CHECKING FOR UPDATES” and this will continue to show until we hear anything back from Facility Connect.
      4. The latest software version scrolls “Latest SW Version on Facility Connect: X.X.X” and then displays “0: UPDATE: NO”. Use the up/down lit arrows to navigate to “1: UPDATE: YES”
      5. Once pressing enter button for “1:UPDATE:YES” , console scrolls “STARTING SOFTWARE DOWNLOAD AND UPDATE”
