Software update Klix Momentum

Performing a software update for Mars (Klix) Momentum machines

The following instructions describe how to proceed with a software update using a USB stick.

Step 1: Download Software

First, the current software version (available from the machine manufacturer's website) must be saved to a USB stick. The published and released current software can be found under the designation "RubyUpdate-Ver-1310-Prod25.uup". This version is current as of March 2018. Information on how to use the USB stick etc. can be found in the EPDM document "DOC-000101 Update KLIX Momentum Software Information" on the machine manufacturer's website.

Step 2: Write USB stick

After downloading the .rup or .uup data to a computer, the data must be copied to the root folder of the USB stick. Important: You cannot store multiple update versions on one USB stick. If there is an older software version on the stick, it must be deleted beforehand. Remember that after copying the data onto the USB stick, it must be properly ejected, as is usually done by the computer software.

Step 3: Software update

1. When the machine is switched on and ready for operation, the USB stick with the previously installed software must be inserted into the USB port in the coin payout area.
2. After about 10 seconds, the display on the machine changes and awaits confirmation to carry out the software update.
3. Press the "Update" icon to start.
4. The new software is now transferred from the USB stick to the machine. The current status can be seen on the display.
5. When the update mode is finished (the display shows "100%"), remove the USB stick from the port.
6. Press "Finish" on the machine display. The machine will now reboot.

Caution: Do not switch off the machine or remove the USB stick while the software update is in progress. Make sure that the power supply is not interrupted during the entire update process (e.g. electrical work on site, etc.). Such an interruption would damage the flash memory on the VMC. In this case, the VMC would have to be replaced and reprogrammed.

Various numbers or letter codes may be displayed during the restart. This is normal after a software update and has no meaning. After the restart process is complete, the start screen is displayed in the usual way again. The new software is now installed. After a short waiting time (this depends on the software installed), the machine is ready for operation again. Times given for software updates refer to the version available when the text was created and may vary in future versions.
