8.9 FIRMWARE REPLACEMENT
There are two integrated circuits (ICs) that may potentially require replacement. The location of the ICs is shown in
Figure 8-8.
• Input Microcontroller (U11) – Contains software that configures the inputs, takes readings, and performs control
functions. Has a sticker on top labeled “M325IF.HEX” and a version number.
• Main Firmware Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EPROM) (U48) – Contains the user interface
software. Has a sticker on top labeled “M325F.HEX” and a date.
Use the following procedure to replace either of these ICs.
1. Follow the top of enclosure REMOVAL procedure in Section 8.8.
2. Locate the IC on the main circuit board. See Figure 8-8. Note orientation of existing IC.
CAUTION: The ICs are Electrostatic Discharge Sensitive (ESDS) devices. Wear shock-proof wrist straps
(resistor limited to <5 mA) to prevent injury to service personnel and to avoid inducing an
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) into the device.
3. Use IC puller to remove existing IC from the socket.
4. Noting orientation of new IC, use an IC insertion tool to place new device into socket.
