Programming Cables: Updating Your Transmitter Through the FINCH Display (Compartments 3–6)
Firmware Upgrades on the FINCH II-6W
How to upgrade TD100 transmitter firmware for compartments 3 through 6 using the SV bus wiring and Transmitter Adapter Cable.
How Upgrades Work on the FINCH II-6W
TD100 firmware upgrades through the FINCH II-6W Display are done similarly to the FINCH II. The TD100 transmitter is still upgradable on a desk or bench before it is installed on the vehicle. Transmitters may also be upgraded through the FINCH II-6W Display after installation.
The difference for the FINCH II-6W:
- Compartment 1 and 2 transmitters are connected using the FINCH II Programming Adapter for Transmitter Cable (item 6 in the Programming Kit chart) through the usual SVOUT connector.
- Compartments 3 to 6 transmitters must be upgraded through the disconnected SV bus wiring — the black, white, and red wires. Each TD100 transmitter is programmed using the Transmitter Adapter Cable (item 4 in the Programming Kit chart) with the alligator clips. This is the familiar method for programming and upgrading the transmitter on the bench.
TD100 Firmware Upgrade for Compartments 3 Through 6
Before You Begin
Ensure the AC adapter is unplugged from the SV Bus Converter before beginning.
-
1
Connect the Programming Kit
Connect the programming kit to the computer. If the TD100 transmitter on compartment 3 requires programming or updating, unplug the daughterboard connector for compartments 3 and 4.
-
2
Disconnect Wires and Attach Alligator Clips
Disconnect the black, white, and red wires for compartment 3. Connect the programming kit's alligator clips to the 3 wires.
!ImportantRemove only one set of compartment 3–6 wires at a time. Once the black, white, and red wires are disconnected, use the alligator clips to connect to the TD100 transmitter. When upgrading is complete, replace the 3 wires before moving on to another compartment: black wire to +, white wire to –, and red wire to the compartment number (3, 4, 5, or 6).

3
Power On and Upgrade
Connect the AC adapter to the SV Bus converter to power the TD100 transmitter, then upgrade the TD100 on compartment 3.
-
4
Reconnect the Wires
Disconnect the AC adapter from the SV Bus converter, then reconnect the black, white, and red wires to the daughterboard connector.
-
5
Repeat for Compartment 4
If the transmitter on compartment 4 requires programming or updating, repeat steps 2 through 4 for that transmitter, then continue to the next step.
-
6
Reconnect the Daughterboard Connector
Plug the compartment 3 and 4 connector back into the daughterboard.
-
7
Repeat for Compartments 5 and 6
If required, repeat this full process for compartments 5 and 6 by unplugging the compartment 5 and 6 connector.
