8.3FIRMWARE VERSION UPDATE
The F650 equipment includes a mechanism that allows the update of the internal program called firmware, to new versions
that are periodically published in the GE Multilin web.
The relay settings and configuration will be lost, so it is advisable to save them to a file. For firmware revisions
lower than 1.50, it is required to save calibration settings in a file before updating the F650 to a new firmware
version. In case of versions higher than 1.50, the calibration retrieval process is automatic and it is not necessary to save
them to a file (nevertheless is always advisable to do it). Take into account that if the operative system (bootcode) has been
previously updated, all the data (including calibration settings) would be lost.
In case of error during the firmware updating process, the user could repeat the whole process as many times as
necessary, this is possible thanks to an independent boot memory (bootcode).
The firmware updating process should be done through the EnerVista F650 Setup software, after connecting the relay by
Ethernet port (COM3).
8.3.1 FIRMWARE UPDATE
Once the communication with the relay through Ethernet connection has been verified
1
, enter the EnerVista F650 Setup
program, select Communication and the Upgrade Firmware Version option.
At this point, proceeding with the update will erase all the data stored in the equipment, including the calibration settings in
firmware version previous to 1.50. Therefore, it is necessary to save all settings to a file before following with the process.
After accepting to proceed, a window will open up for the update parameter for the F650 firmware update process. In
firmware version previous to 1.70 the EnerVista F650 Setup program asked for the IP address of the relay to be updated
and its serial number. In versions 1.70 and higher it is also necessary to enter the ordering code for the relay. See figure
below:
This change is due to the multilingual implementation in F650 devices. See ordering code section in product description
chapter in this manual (section 2.3. )

1. Calibration settings should be stored in a file before updating the firmware.
Go to EnerVista F650 Setup main menu “Communication > Calibration > Get Calibration Settings”
Store the file in the PC using the relay serial number, for instance, as the name of the file.
