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 PAS.

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 PAS 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.
