Caution
Some firmware upgrades require the reassignment and re-landing of
some wire terminations due to features that may be added, changed
or removed. Contact Basler Electric and ask about any hardware or
system changes that will need to be performed before installing new
firmware. Serious damage to the DECS or your system could result if
these changes are not completed first.
Note
In the course of upgrading firmware, the DECS-400 will reboot several
times. This may cause the DECS to give a Watchdog Failure alarm
and, depending on your fault tripping scheme, may trip your
generator’s lockout relay. It is recommended that firmware upgrades
be done while the prime mover is stopped for maintenance.
