4) If it goes into recovery mode, follow the steps below
When updating the firmware on the Power Distribution Hub, it is possible for the process to be interrupted or for the firmware to be corrupted by a bad download. In this state, the Status LED will be dark or dim and the Power Distribution Hub will fail to operate. There is a built-in recovery mode that can force it to accept new firmware even if the controller seems to be bricked and the procedure is outlined below:
Please note, performing this procedure will erase all data and settings on the device. To perform the procedure a small tool, like a straightened paper clip is necessary to press the Mode Button (located close to the LED status light), the orange USB-c cable that came with the unit (or a DATA capable USB-c cable), and a native Windows based computer with the REV Hardware Client installed:
With the Power Distribution Hub powered off, press and hold the Mode Button
While still holding the Mode Button, connect the Power Distribution Hub to the computer using the USB-c cable - the Status LED will illuminate a dim red - this is expected.
With the REV Hardware Client running on the computer, wait a few seconds for the audible tone or icon for the device to be recognized in recovery mode then release the Mode Button - no lights will be present on the Power Distribution Hub during this stage of the process, this is expected
Select the Power Distribution Hub in Recovery Mode from the REV Hardware Client window
From the Choose a Device type dropdown, choose - Power Distribution Hub
Choose latest version of Firmware from the dropdown and then click update
Wait for the software update to complete
Power cycle unit (unplug and plug in USB-c) click on Power Distribution Hub icon, clear any sticky faults - the recovery should be complete.
