Automatic upload

Overview
We recommend that you insert the memory card before switching on the converter. The
converter automatically backs up its settings on the inserted memory card and always keeps it
up to date.
Precondition
The converter power supply has been switched off.
Function description
Procedure
1. Insert an empty memory card into the converter.
Note
Accidental overwrite of the converter settings
When the supply voltage is switched on, the converter automatically accepts the settings
already backed up on the memory card. If you use a memory card on which settings are
already backed up, you will overwrite the settings of the converter.
• Use an empty memory card for the first automatic back-up of your settings.
Note
Unintentional firmware update
If the memory card contains a converter firmware, the converter may perform a firmware
update after the supply voltage has been switched on.
• Before inserting the memory card, ensure that it is empty.
2. Switch on the power supply for the converter.
After the power supply has been switched on, the converter copies its changed settings to the
memory card.
