6.5 Upgrading Device Firmware

Your meter has upgradeable firmware. If you need to upgrade your
device, download a new firmware file to the meter through Power
Software.

Firmware can be downloaded via the Modbus RTU or Modbus/TCP protocol
through any communication port.

To download a new firmware file to your device:

1. Ensure that the communication port you are connected through to

the meter operates in Modbus mode.

2. If you are connected to the meter through a serial interface, it is

recommended to set the port baud rate to 115,200 bps. See

Setting Up Serial Communication Ports

on how to remotely

change the protocol and baud rate in your meter.

3. Ensure that the On-line button on the Power Software toolbar is

checked, and then select Flash Downloader from the Monitor
menu and confirm downloading.

4. Point to the firmware upgrade file for your meter, click Open, and

then confirm upgrading the meter.
