8.3 USING 489PC

Setpoints must be saved to a file on the local PC before performing any firmware upgrades. Saving setpoints is also highly
recommended before making any setpoint changes or creating new setpoint files. The following procedure illustrates how
to save setpoint files.
1. Select the File > Properties menu item. The dialog box below appears, allowing for the configuration of the 489PC
software for the correct firmware version. 489PC requires the correct software version when creating a setpoint file to
ensure that setpoints not available in a particular version are not downloaded into the relay.
2. When the correct firmware version is chosen, select the File > Save As menu item. This launches the dialog box
shown below. Enter or select the filename under which the setpoints are to be saved. All 489 setpoint files should have
the extension 489 (for example, gen1.489). Click OK to proceed.
3. The software reads all relay setpoint values and stores them in the selected file.
