Hi everyone,

I just got these second hand and am wondering if there is a way to perform a reset and firmware update without windows? I only have a Mac.

Thanks

Hi,

If the device was used in LAN with DHCP or if it is in hotspot mode and you know the wifi password, yes, otherwise no you will need to use GHL Control Center software with a USB connection under Windows. Sorry.

Out of curiosity… should this reset also remove alkalinity results? I tried a factory reset some time back using GCC but only the settings were reset. All of the test results were still on the unit. (or maybe I did something wrong)

All measurements in myGHL remain in myGHL.

Thank you both for the response and sorry for derailing the thread. I will attempt it this weekend.

Bringing this thread back up. I now have the proper USB connection and ordered a windows tablet. When I try to connect to the doser I get no connection, despite manually installing the port as shown in the guide on the GHL website. I have to admit, I feel a bit like I got played and bought a $450 paperweight. For all its issues at least the trident is easy to set up and logically laid out. Any one have any tips on how to get this to connect?

Hi Lasse, yes I do. As an update, after toying with my tablet more i was able to get it connected an reset the firmware. The new issue is that every time I try to connect to the Doser with my GHL app to follow the set up instructions, the app keeps crashing.

I suppose I should update the firmware for the doser to the newest model? When I try that I get a warning there is no PAB device plugged in despite the PAB being in both the doser and KH Director. Should I just update the firmware anyway and try to connect it?

Hi Vinny, I resolved that by going back through the instructions. Any suggestions on the app crashing? I can’t do the initial set up procedure

Doser FW is too old. Update doser FW.

With the newest GCC downloaded and cables connected, this should take no more than 3 minutes to complete.

So far no dice. App just keeps crashing over and over in the middle of the "establishing connection" step. I'll open a support ticket. Hopefully this can get resolved by the time I ship out in September...

There is no resetting these devices because settings are stored on the master device. If you want to unassign them, you can do so in the PAB devices page.
