PIM – Program Interface
Module For Field Re-Programming of HEL-STAR 6® Gen III & F2®
The PIM-701 is a handheld device that allows military users
to wirelessly re-program any or all of the four factory-supplied light emitting
functions of selected HEL-STAR 6® Gen III and F2® models in the field.
Once the user has determined the new functions needed for
the HEL-STAR device, the PIM is programmed via a USB connection to a laptop.
The re-programming software along with detailed operating instructions are
provided with the PIM and downloaded, one time, to the laptop through the USB
interface. An easy-to-use graphical user interface allows the user to select
desired new functions.
With the PIM programmed and disconnected from the laptop, it
can be used remotely to re-program any number of HEL-STAR devices with a simple
activation, “hand-shake” and confirmation procedure.
The PIM is provided with two programming modes – “New
Program” and “Default”. The green button transmits the stored “new” function
programming the HEL-STAR device, and black “default” button is restores the
device to the original factory settings.
The PIM operates on a single replaceable CR123 cell, and
includes a removable rubber protective cover.
