Notice! As with any computer upgrade, you run the risk of making your dryer inoperable if the programming procedure is interrupted during the upgrade.  NEVER TURN OFF POWER DURING UPGRADE PROCESS!

If you are currently drying grain, we highly recommend you wait until you are finished drying grain before attempting to update your software.  If you feel you need to upgrade, please download and view the programming manual. 

     To update the software in these dryers, you will need a Compatible USB Flash Drive. (See list below)

Please download the programming manual below for detailed instructions on updating your dryers software.

     The USB Flash drive enables you to update the software in your Vision+ dryers easily.  You can purchase these Flash drives at any Wal-Mart, Kmart, OfficeMax, Staples or any department store that sells computer electronic accessories.

     When you insert your USB Flash drive into a USB port on your computer, you will have added another virtual disk drive.  Please make note of the drive letter of the USB Flash Drive. (Double click on MY COMPUTER on your Desktop) You will need it later when you install the update software.

     You can access files on your Flash drive using either Windows 2000/ME/XP or Macintosh with OS 8.6 or higher.  If you are using Windows 98SE, you will have to install a driver from the manufacturer of the flash drive you own.

     Click on the link below to start the download process to your computer.  You can SAVE or RUN the program.  It doesn't matter which one you choose.  If you save it, make sure you remember where you put it.

     When this file is executed, it will copy the files to the necessary folder on your USB Flash drive.  During the install, you will be prompted to provide the drive letter of your USB Flash drive. ( i.e. D:)  Or you can click on the Change button to located the drive on your system. 

     Once the USB Flash drive has the necessary files on it, you can insert it into the USB port located on the bottom of the Vision+ assembly.  Open the lower control box, and look at the back of the door. You will notice a aluminum box with a circuit board on the back.  Look underneath the box for the USB port as shown in the programming manual. 

     Turn on the control power to the dryer and wait until the operating systems loads.  When you see a screen with 2 large buttons on it, wait.  It will detect the USB Flash drive and load the boot loader program. 

     When its done, turn off the dryer and remove the USB Flash drive.
