Upgrading or Restoring Melter Firmware
Use the NCM to upgrade your melter firmware to a newer version or to
reload the current firmware version. The currently available firmware version
can be downloaded from www.enordson.com/support.
NOTE: The firmware version installed on your melter appears on the
control panel when the melter is switched on.
The current melter settings are downloaded and saved on your PC when an
upgrade is performed. When the melter firmware has been upgraded or
restored, the pre-upgrade settings can be restored with the NCM.
CAUTION: The melter settings are returned to the defaults when an
upgrade is performed. Only the hours of heater operation are saved. The
contents of the fault log and the change history log are lost when the
firmware is upgraded.
