Updating Software

Reprogramming Luminaires

In some cases, it may be desirable to upgrade the luminaire(s) with VL1000 Luminaire

Software. This process will require a Windows PC, the Luminaire Programming Kit

(VL Part Number: 28.9661.0054), and the Setupex.exe program. The Setupex.exe

program (which contains the VLDownload.exe program) is available on the VL

Download Installer Disk (VL Part Number: 87.7303.0008) or on the Vari-Lite

website: www.vari-lite.com (follow the Support link to the Product Downloads page).

The Setupex.exe is used to install the VLDownload.exe program. The VL Download

program easily transfers new versions of software to any luminaires connected to the

PC.

Note: Up to 32 luminaires can be programmed at the same time if they are data linked

together. Refer to “Connecting Data and Power” on page 22. (Programming more than

32 luminaires will require programming in batches of 32 or less.)
