EA5 problem factry reset / firmware


Recommended Posts

Hi.
This is my first message on the forum.
I'm completely rookie with c4 and that's why I don't handle the terminology.
I have an EA-5, which, after switching off and on, did not work properly again.
I try to do a factory reset but the light flashes "!" in red giving a Factory restore fail.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for your time.

Suggestions? Call a dealer. You're not going to get any help otherwise in this scenario.

Hi.
Thanks for the reply.
I took the unit to the dealer and suggested that I buy another.
What the distributor tried was:
1) Connect the EA5 to the network
2) Use the Composer Pro to detect EA5, it was not able.
Say the unit is defective.


If I had access to the distributor programs, any suggestions?
Thank you

I'd say your dealer's diagnosis is correct as that exclamation mark means the factory restore had a fatal failure that usually requires a swap out.

There's not any other suggestions to give, you need a new EA5. Now if you want to go find one yourself and buy it, go for it. However, the original project needs to be re-loaded onto the replacement controller. And if there's Zigbee involved, the mesh will need to be re-created. These are all dealer-only tasks. So buying a replacement is only one part of the solution.
