    Software has been released for LevelPRO detectors that have the HART communication option installed. This software makes the HART communication and the Thermo Scientific 9734 handheld terminal (HHT) communication more reliable. This software upgrade requires that both the LevelPRO CPU PROM and the HART board PROM be replaced.
  • Page 92 Replacing the CPU PROM & HART PROM Procedure Figure D–1. Location of CPU PROM Caution It is strongly recommended that you use a PROM extraction tool to remove the PROM from its socket. These can usually be purchased from the local electronics supply store. Failure to use the proper tool can result in damage to the PROM socket, necessitating replacement of the board.
  • Page 93 Replacing the CPU PROM & HART PROM Procedure If you do not have an extraction tool, a small bladed screwdriver or curved tip tweezers can be used in critical situations. As seen in Figure D–3, two corners of the PROM socket have slots for the extraction tool. These slots can be used to extract the PROM using a small bladed screwdriver or curved tip tweezers (reference Figures D–4 and D–5).
  • Page 94 Replacing the CPU PROM & HART PROM Procedure Figure D–5. Once the old PROM is extracted, align the new PROM on the socket so that the beveled corner of the PROM (shown in Figure D–3) matches the beveled corner of the socket. Push gently down on the PROM until it snaps into place in the socket.
