Hi Jaka,
The factory reset process is the same for both the Flexy 201/202 and 205, but the reset button is different. On the 201 and 202 the button is labelled BI1, but on the 205 there is a small hole above the LEDs and this contains a recessed button:
Press this button while powering on the Flexy
You must hold the button down for at least 35 seconds while the device powers on. After 30 seconds the USR LED will blink red for 5 seconds and then become solid red. Once the button is solid red, you can power cycle the device and it will be restored to factory default settings. More details are below:
Factory Reset
This second level reset formats all non volatile memories and erases the Flexy back to its factory defaults. This operation consists of 3 steps:
• Erasure of all non volatile memories, including all COM parameters and IP addresses
• Full hardware auto test with result shown by the USR LED
• Return to factory configuration
How to generate a second level reset on the Flexy 201/202:
- Power the unit OFF and ON again
- Immediately press and maintain the reset button. The LED labeled BI1 turns ON
- Wait approximately 35 seconds until the USR LED remains red steady
- When this state is reached, release the button. The LED labeled BI1 turns OFF
- It takes no longer than 5 seconds to complete.
- Check if the auto test is successful, the USR LED blinks red following a pattern of 200ms ON and 1,5 sec OFF. The Flexy does not restart in normal mode by itself and remains in this diagnose mode.
- Power the Flexy OFF and ON again to reboot the unit in normal mode.
As described before, the Flexy returns to its default COM parameters and factory IP addresses (default LAN IP: 10.0.0.53) after this second level reset is performed. If a different pattern than the successful auto test one is displayed then this pattern reflects an issue.The pattern starts with 200ms ON (beginning of the pattern) followed by OFF and a certain number of times 1 sec ON which allows to identify the nature of the detected problem. Please write down the observed pattern and contact support referring to the pattern error.
