The SD card must be a regular SD or SD-HC.  NOTE: SD-XC cards do not work with the Luxor.

NOTE: Please reference the chart below for the correct files for updating each LUXOR model. Updating the facepack firmware must be completed first.  Files are located at the bottom of the article.  The date code for the controller will be located within the wiring compartment on a white sticker on the righthand side.
