A STEP LIST SUMMARY that allows the user to control the upgrading process is included at the end of this section. It is
necessary to read paragraphs 1 to 4 of chapter 9 of manual GEK-106310 before accomplishing the F650 UPGRADE
PROCEDURE.
Be aware that boot program and firmware upgrades erase all data contained in the relay, thus it is advisable to save all
data, oscillography, events, settings and configuration files before proceeding.
RELAYS WITH FIBER OPTIC ETHERNET
The upgrade of the boot program (BOOTCODE) must be performed by crossed Ethernet copper cable connected to the
PC. It is not necessary to change the internal switch from fiber to RJ45, because the upgrade is made at 10Mb/s.
This does not apply to the firmware upgrade, which can be done either via Ethernet Fiber connection, or through the
RJ45 cable connection.
For upgrading firmware versions lower than 3.20 or upgrading bootware, be aware to calibrate the unit offset, after
upgrading it, in Communication > Calibration > Offset Calibration. No analog currents nor analog voltages must be
injected in the unit during this process.
