Upgrade Instructions.
IMPORTANT: While upgrading the control firmware wirelessly, system coordination from this device
will be interrupted for whole upgrade process while the non-volatile memory sector is written to. If
not bypassed i.e., left and in the circuit during this time, any faults that occur on the load side of the
recloser could be passed back upstream to a source side protective device. Bypassing the recloser
may be preferred by some utilities.
