Upgrading Setpoints
Files to a New
Revision
3–30
It is often necessary to upgrade the revision for a previously saved setpoint file after the
850 firmware has been upgraded. This is illustrated in the following procedure:
1. Establish communications with the 850 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.
6. For example, if the firmware revision is J0J08AA150.SFD (Firmware Revision 1.50) and
the current setpoint file revision is 1.10, change the New File Version to "1.5x".
7. Enter any special comments about the setpoint file in the "Description" field.
8. Select the desired firmware version from the "New File Version" field.
9. When complete, click OK to convert the setpoint file to the desired revision. See
Loading Setpoints from a File below, for instructions on loading this setpoint file into
the 850.
