 Depending on the type of battery holder, either a small flat head
screwdriver, or tweezers/needle nose pliers.
: When you service a ControlWave EFM on site, we recommend
Note
that you close down (or place under manual control) any
associated processes. This precaution prevents any processes
from accidentally running out of control when you conduct tests.
Harmful electrical potentials may still exist at the field wiring terminals
even though the ControlWave EFM's power source may be turned off or
disconnected. Do not attempt to unplug termination connectors or
perform any wiring operations until you verify that all associated power
supply sources are turned off and/or disconnected.
Always turn off any external supply sources for externally powered I.O
circuits before you change any modules.
EXPLOSION HAZARD
Substitution of components may impair suitability for use in Class I,
Division 2 environments.
When the ControlWave EFM is situated in a hazardous location, turn off
power before servicing or replacing the unit and before installing or
removing I/O wiring.
Do not disconnect equipment unless the power is switched off or the
area is known to be non-hazardous.
See Appendix A for details on Class I Division 2 usage of this device.
The ControlWave EFM CPU ships from the factory with system
firmware already installed. If you need to upgrade the system firmware
(stored in Flash memory) to acquire new functionality or restore
firmware, you can use one of several methods.
Use this tool to download system firmware to an unattended remote
ControlWave EFM. To use this utility, you must set CPU module
switch SW2-6 ON (the factory default position).
