Once the upgrade parameters have been entered, relay IP address, serial number and ordering code, press the "Upgrade
Firmware" button. When communication has been established, the program will show a message requesting to turn off
and back on the relay to continue with the upgrade process.
Once the relay has been turned off and on again, a new screen allows selecting the folder that contains the firmware
update files ("update.txt" file must be located in this folder). This Update.txt file is located in the folder where the desired
firmware upgrade files are. This firmware update files can be found in the GE Multilin web site.
If the files are downloaded from the web, they are compressed in a zip file. It should be decompressed in a temporary
directory from which the update.txt file will be selected.
Once the Update.txt file is selected, the "Upgrade Firmware" button will be enabled. Press this button to initiate the relay
firmware upgrade process. A voltage range selection window will appear, this voltage range is connected to the serial
number of the relay. The EnerVista F650 Setup program automatically pre-selects the appropriate voltage range for the
unit. If the voltage range is not selected correctly the error in voltage measurements will be 20 %.

During the process, the program displays the files that are being updated. When the file transfer is finished, a message
appears noticing that it is necessary to wait sometime before resetting the unit, in order to start working with the new
firmware version in the relay. When the whole process has finished a message will be displayed asking to reboot the F650.
At this point, the firmware upgrade procedure is finished and the relay ready to be powered down and back up to check that
the firmware has been upgraded properly.
When upgrading the firmware the entire settings and relay configuration are reset to factory default value.
Once the equipment has been properly checked, the F650 is ready to be used.
Remember that calibration settings and configuration must be loaded to the relay. To recover the relay calibration:
Go to EnerVista F650 Setup main menu:
8
Communication > Calibration > Set calibration Settings to store in the relay the calibration settings if necessary.
File > Config file (*.650) Converter to convert the setting and configuration file *.650 for the relay (if is was in a previous
version format) to the new version (see section in human interfaces in this manual)
File > Send info to relay to send the new settings and configuration file to the unit.
