Configuring the Dynamic 2500 Data Collector Chapter 2
Install the Dynamix 2500 Data Collector Firmware
This procedure details the steps necessary to reinstall or upgrade your data
collector’s firmware by using the Dynamix 2500 OS Loader application.
Follow these instruction to install the firmware.
1. Apply power to the data collector.
2. Connect your Dynamix 2500 data collector to the computer by using the
splitter cable USB connection.
3. Make sure the ActiveSync software is running.
4. From the Start Menu, choose Programs>Allen-Bradley>Dynamix
2500>Dynamix 2500 OS Loader.
5. Click OK.
During the installation, the Dynamix 2500 data collector restarts several
times and multiple screens are displayed. Disrupting or disconnecting the
data collector from the computer causes the installation procedure to
terminate and may leave the data collector in a corrupted state.
You will be prompted to back up module data, for example, Run-up Coast-
down measurements, route database, and measurement data. You can
choose to backup this data; it is automatically restored later in the firmware
installation process. Any module data that is not backed up will be erased.
TIP We recommend that you upload your data to Emonitor before you update
the operating system just in case there is an error with the firmware
installation, such as a cable disconnect.
