469 MOTOR MANAGEMENT RELAY – INSTRUCTION MANUAL
To upgrade the 469 firmware, follow the procedures listed in this section. Upon successful
completion of this procedure, the 469 will have new firmware installed with the original
settings.
The latest firmware files are available from the GE Grid Solutions website at
www.gegridsolutions.com.
Before upgrading firmware, it is very important to save the current 469 settings to a file on
your PC. After the firmware has been upgraded, it will be necessary to load this file back
into the 469.
Refer to Downloading and Saving Settings Files on page 4–24 for details on saving relay
settings to a file.
Loading new firmware into the 469 flash memory is accomplished as follows:
 Connect the relay to the local PC and save the settings to a file as
shown in Downloading and Saving Settings Files on page 4–24.
 Select the Communications > Update Firmware menu item.
 The warning message shown below will appear.
 Select Yes to proceed or No the cancel the process.
Do not proceed unless you have saved the current settings.
An additional message will be displayed to ensure the PC is connected to the relay front
port, as the 469 cannot be upgraded via the rear RS485 ports.
The EnerVista 469 Setup software will request the new firmware file.
