1. In the File pane, right click on File and select the New Settings File item. The following
box will appear, allowing for the configuration of the setpoint file for the correct
firmware version. It is important to define the correct firmware version to ensure that
setpoints not available in a particular version are not downloaded into the relay.
2. Select the Firmware Version, and Order Code options for the new setpoint file.
3. For future reference, enter some useful information in the Description box to facilitate
the identification of the device and the purpose of the file.
4. To select a file name and path for the new file, click the button beside the File Name
box.
5. Select the file name and path to store the file, or select any displayed file name to
replace an existing file. All 350 setpoint files should have the extension 'SR3' (for
example, 'feeder1.SR3').
6. Click OK to complete the process. Once this step is completed, the new file, with a
complete path, will be added to the EnerVista SR3 Setup software environment.
It is often necessary to upgrade the revision for a previously saved setpoint file after the
350 firmware has been upgraded. This is illustrated in the following procedure:
1. Establish communications with the 350 relay.
2. Select the Maintenance > M1 Relay Info menu item and record the Firmware
Revision.
3. Load the setpoint file to be upgraded into the EnerVista SR3 Setup environment as
described in the section, Adding Setpoints Files to the Environment.
4. In the File pane, select the saved setpoint file.
5. From the main window menu bar, select the Offline > Edit Settings File Properties
menu item and note the File Version of the setpoint file. If this version is different from
the Firmware Revision noted in step 2, select a New File Version that matches the
Firmware Revision from the pull-down menu.
