Notes:

- It is not necessary to load sensor cap coefficients when a new ODO probe is

installed. A new cable/probe assembly has a sensor cap installed and the sensor

cap coefficients are preloaded into the probe at the factory.

- If ODO calibration codes are not uploaded when the sensor cap is replaced

the ODO may not operate accurately.

Downloader/Updating 5X00 Firmware

Like all microprocessor based instruments, it may be necessary to upload revisions

to 5X00 firmware. Download new firmware using the Flash Programmer utility in

AquaManager. A serial RS232 connection is necessary to run the Flash Program-

mer utility.

The instrument firmware may get corrupted if any of the following occurs during

a 5X00 firmware update:

- Firmware Updater window utility is closed;

- AquaManager is closed;

- RS232 cable is removed from 5X00 or PC com port;

- power is disconnected from 5X00.

If the 5X00 firmware becomes corrupt and is not updated properly, it may be neces-

sary to return the instrument to YSI

.

Firmware Updater Directions

1. Wire RS232 connection. See RS232 Communication - page 68. (Dis-

regard if already using RS232 connection.)

Note:

Connect RS232 directly into slaves in order to upload firmware to slaves.

Disable slaves at the master to avoid slave failure alarms when uploading

- Menus → System → Communications → Network →Master.

2. Enable the Force Serial Port on 5X00s wired and configured with an

ethernet device - page 102.

3. Verify that the baud rate in 5X00 Communications menu is configured

to 115200.

4. From the AquaManager Explorer window, access the Flash Programmer

utility from the pull down menu: Tools→ Instrument tools→Update

Firmware.
