FIRMWARE UPDATER

Firmware Updater

Elinchrom units can only be updated with the Elinchrom Updater Software.

Most recent units have a micro/mini USB socket which needs to be connected directly to your computer.
For other Elinchrom units without USB socket, which require a wireless update, the Elinchrom Bridge or the EL-Skyport USB RX module is needed.

Please note:

To be able to update Elinchrom units with the USB RX, do not update your Mac to the latest MacOS version; Catalina 10.15, the USB RX hardware is not compatible.
