1. In the Offline pane, right click and select the New Settings File item. The following box
appears, 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 845 setpoint files should have the extension '.cid' (for
example, '845 1.cid').
6. Click OK to complete the process. Once this step is completed, the new file, with a
complete path, is added to the 845 software environment.
File names for setting files cannot have a decimal point other than the one that is added in
front of CID.
It is often necessary to upgrade the revision for a previously saved setpoint file after the
845 firmware has been upgraded. This is illustrated in the following procedure:
1. Establish communications with the 845 relay.
2. Select the Status > Information > Main CPU menu item and record the Firmware
Version.
3. Load the setpoint file to be upgraded into the EnerVista 8 Series Setup software
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.
