ACP-150 Firmware update guide

Please note that the PC software will need to be deleted and replaced after the firmware update. The password will be reset to factory default. The settings including network configuration, face database and records should not be lost but is always a good idea to create a backup.

Download the latest firmware version here 1.3.0 2021-04-21:

Important, the new firmware has 3 temperature modes: NORMAL, SMART and QUICK. You should always use the SMART mode.

Please do not use QUICK  mode as it was developed for very specific applications where speed is essential but requires professional calibration and accuracy is decreased.

Firmware update procedure assuming the Device Config Client (IPC software) is already installed on a computer connected to the ACP-150 panel:

Before proceeding you will have to download the update file from the link above. If you had previously updated the firmware we recommend that before you download the new update file you clear cache from your browser (click here to see how) or you use a different browser. This is because your browser might have kept the previous update file and since the new one will have the same name it could provide you with the previous version instead of downloading another identically named file. Note: Please do not power off the device or disconnect the network during the upgrade process, to avoid update failure, or cause device data loss.

  1. Open the PC software (called Device Config Client or IPC) and click on the magnifying glass icon  to enter the device search. If multiple devices are connected to the LAN network, you will see all of them listed as shown below.
  2. Select the device or devices you wish to update and click in the checkbox at the left of each device
  3. If the password is not stored in the IPC Search module, you will need to enter the password of the device by clicking on the password edit button (default password is 888888)
  4. Click on the BROWSE button to locate the new firmware file on your computer and press BATCH UPGRADE button
  5. Wait for the process to finish. Once finished, the ACP-150 will restart. DO NOT DISCONNECT THE POWER ON THE ACP-150 until the unit restarts.
  6. Go to “Add or Remove Programs” on windows and uninstall the “IPC Demo” or “Device Config Client” Software form your computer
  7. Re install the new Device Config Client. For this you will have to download it from the ACP-150 panel by opening Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge and typing in the IP address of the device (Default IP: 192.168.1.189)

Once the Device Config Client is installed, log in for the first time with the default password 888888 and change it  to a secure password. Please write it down and keep it in a safe place for future use. DO NOT LOSE IT!
