    Pansat 3500 (b-80)

    c/p with thnx to Captain

    USE AT OWN RISK!

    Instruction b-80 (Mar 11, 2007) upgrade from b-70 (May 26, 2006) for model 3500S/SD

    All new api file versions announced after Nov 20, 2006 can be applicable with 3500S/SD model upgraded boot version b-80. We named 3500S/SD (b-80). When power off and on, front LED display b-80 shortly and then “ON” or channel number like “0123” etc. means the receiver already upgraded to b-80 model. If it shows b-70 shortly before “ON”, it means you need upgrade to b-80 version. If it shows b-70 constantly, the unit should be repaired first by boot method downloading May 26, 2006 api file. Refer to below b-80 trouble shooting guide which is same method except api file version.
    1. b-80 upgrade needed only one time for each receiver.
    2. RS 232 null modem cable data transfer method should be used (SD memory card not usable). Read below trouble shooting guide.
    3. Open the Loader v35.01 (Pansat 3500S). Check PC COM port to be right one.
    4. Click browser and open “boot_Itc80” file. Boot file only will be selected automatically.
    5. Connect RS232 null modem cable between PC and the 3500S/SD receiver.
    6. Turn the receiver power ON and wait at least 10 seconds until front LED shows “ON” or channel number.
    7. Click download and wait “Download completed, OK” appears on the PC screen.
    8. If error appears, try all above procedure again.
    9. Verify the receiver front LED shows b-80 which means the unit is ready to download any api file version dated on or after Nov 20, 2006 by data cable. If it shows b-70, try again.
    10. Select api file dated Mar 11,2007 and click download. After download completed, the unit will display “ON” after b-80 shortly.
    11. After above procedure completion, any future api file upgrade can be done by SD memory card.

    Trouble shooting when b-80 shows constantly and not changing to “ON” or any channel number on the front LED.
    In this case the receiver lost all memory data but boot file is still alive condition. To fix the unit to normal condition, have to execute boot method download from PC to receiver by using null modem cable (SD memory card not usable).
    Method 1.
    1. Open the Loader v35.01 (Pansat 3500S) and select api file only.
    2. Click browser and open Oct 12, 2008 ( b80-v06) api file.
    3. Turn the receiver power off and on, within 1-2 seconds b-80 appears on front LED display click “download” and wait until “Download completed OK” appears.
    4. During download, dots moving left to right will be displayed on the front LED.

    Method 2.
    1. Turn the receiver power off.
    2. Click download first and then turn the receiver power ON.

    Warning
    1. Do not interrupt the receiver power until download completed appears on the PC.
    2. If method 1 not works, try method 2.
    3. Even tried several time, still not works or front LED completely dead, send back to Panarex for repair.
    4. Do not try to download boot b-70 again. b-70 version works only old version api files before Nov 19,2006 version.
    5. If b-70 shows constantly, have to fix the unit first by using old version api file (dated on or before Nov 19, 2006) and boot method download. Same GTRom Loader v35.01 can be used. If the fix done, the unit will display ON after b-70 shows shortly. Then make upgrade b-80 version and download api file with Nov 20, 2006 or after version.
