automatically. It should take about 90 seconds to transfer the firmware to the
probe and for the automatic reboot to take place. The probe relays will click
at the end of the reboot process.

CAUTION

Do not reset, power-cycle, or reboot the probe immediately after the download
process. Doing this may cause your probe to be damaged. After the firmware file
has been downloaded to the probe, there will be a brief period (approximately
1 minute) while the probe is copying the firmware to the flash EPROM.

After the download process is complete, the probe reboots and starts running the
new firmware.

If an error occurs during the download process, the probe returns to the Main
Menu without storing the new firmware to memory.
