When required
Tools required
Parts required
Preparations
The installation of older firmware might be necessary:
• to keep all systems on the same (validated) revision, or
• if third part control software requires a special version.
To upgrade/downgrade the detector's firmware the following steps have to be
performed:
1 Download the module's firmware, the LAN/RS-232 FW Update Tool Version
2 Load the firmware into the detector as described in the documentation.
The initial firmware revision of the G1315C DAD and the G1365C MWD is B.01.01 (main and
N O T E
resident). No further downgrade is possible.
When using the G1315C DAD and the G1365C MWD in an 1100 system, all other 1100
N O T E
modules must be upgraded to firmware revision 6.x or above (main and resident).
Otherwise the communication will not work.

If new version solves problems of currently installed version or after exchange
of the detector main board (DADM or MWDM) the version on board is older
than previous installed one.
