There are two EEPROM menus available which can be accessed to adjust and save configurations onto either the Proton Pack and Neutrona Wand EEPROM memory. These are the EEPROM LED Menu and the EEPROM Configuration Menu.
The EEPOM LED Menu can be used to configure different LED setups for your Proton Pack. All changes can be saved directly to the Proton Pack EEPROM and will be loaded automatically even if you turn off the power to your devices.
To access the EEPROM LED Menu System, hold down the Intensify Button and toggle the right hand Top Toggle button 5 times (up and down). You will then hear a beep noise and your bargraph will light up to indicate you are in the EEPROM LED Menu System. The Neutrona Wand barrel and all the Proton Pack LEDs will light up to the default Spectral Custom colours when you enter the EEPROM LED Menu. Use the Top Dial on the top of the Neutrona Wand to navigate the menu system and options. When you reach a different menu level, the Slo-Blo LED and other lights on the Neutrona Wand will illuminate to indicate these menu levels, along with audio cues from the system.
Menu Level 1 -> No additional wand lights will be illuminated
Menu Level 2 -> Slo-Blo illuminated
📝 Note: EEPROM menus can only be reached while both the Neutrona Wand and Proton Pack are powered down.
