5 BOOTCODE AND FIRMWARE UPGRADE
This password can be obtained placing an order with GE Multilin. The following parameters must be clearly indicated in the
order:
• Unit serial number
• Current model option (before memory upgrade)
• Desired model option (after memory upgrade)
• Unit MAC address (available in the identification label)
Once the upgrade parameters have been entered, press the "Upgrade Firmware" button. When communication has been
established, the program will show a message requesting to turn off and back on the relay to continue with the upgrade
process.
Once the relay has been turned off and on, a new screen allows selecting the folder that contains the firmware upgrade
files ("upgrade.txt" file must be located in this folder). This Upgrade.txt file is located in the folder where the desired
firmware upgrade files are. This firmware upgrade files can be found in the Multilin web site.
If the files are downloaded from the web, they are compressed in a zip file. It should be decompressed in a temporary
directory from which the upgrade.txt file will be selected.
Once the Upgrade.txt file is selected, the "Upgrade Firmware" button will be enabled. Press this button to initiate the
process. A voltage range selection window will appear, this voltage range is connected to the serial number of the relay.
The EnerVista 650 Setup program automatically pre-selects the appropriate voltage range for the unit based on the serial
number. Users can select a different range, but if the voltage range is not selected correctly there will be an error in the
voltage measurements (around 20%) due to an incorrect assignment of the calibration values.
During the process, the program displays the files that are being upgraded. When the files transfer is finished, a message
appears informing that it is necessary to wait sometime before resetting the unit, in order to start working with the new
firmware version in the relay. When the whole process has finished a message will be displayed asking to switch the F650
on and off.
At this point, the firmware upgrade procedure is finished and the relay is ready to be powered down and back up to check
that the firmware has been upgraded properly.
When upgrading the firmware the entire settings and relay configuration are reset to factory default value.
Once the equipment has been properly checked, the F650 is ready to be used.
Remember that calibration settings and configuration must be loaded to the relay. To recover the relay calibration:
Go to EnerVista 650 Setup main menu:
Communication > Calibration > Set calibration Settings to store in the relay the calibration settings if necessary.
File > Config file (*.650) Converter to convert the setting and configuration file *.650 for the relay (if is was in a previous
version format) to the new version (see section 3.1.7.2 in human interfaces in this manual)
File > Send info to relay to send the new settings and configuration file to the unit.
