SOFTWARE UPGRADES:
Once you have identified and downloaded the correct ROVER S.M.A.R.T. program on your PC ( for
more information, read the respective S.M.A.R.T. page in this user guide ) install it on your PC in order
to upgrade your Meter’s Software ( SW ). Then proceed as follows:

WARNING:
• Before carrying out your Meter’s SW upgrades, we suggest you close all the applications that are
active on your PC: e-mail messages, internet, management programs, etc.
• Also check that the Meter’s batteries are charged and that the Meter is connected to the mains.
Most importantly do not turn off or disconnect the Meter from the mains during the upgrade. The
Meter will automatically turn off once the SW upgrade has been completed.
N.B. If the graphic of your PC bar shows that the upgrade advancement is blocked, do not interrupt
the procedure because the SW download is still taking place even if the PC monitor does not
correctly show the advancement in sequence.
PROCEDURE:
1. Connect your Meter to the mains and turn it on;
2. Wait for the Start-Up phase of the Meter to finish correctly;
3. Connect the USB cable, first to the Meter and then to the PC;
4. Start up the ROVER S.M.A.R.T. program in your PC;
5. In the ROVER S.M.A.R.T. program window, click on “Instrument” followed by “Upgrade Firmware”;
6. In the Open window, select the “SW Upgrade ( .rvr )” downloaded from the Update SW Area;
7. Click on “Open” and confirm the selection;
8. The SW upgrade procedure will automatically start up;
9. If this does not happen, the Upgrade Firmware window will open, select the exact model of your
Meter and click on “Upgrade” to carry out the Upgrade manually;
10. Wait a few minutes, the ROVER S.M.A.R.T. program will load the new SW in your Meter;
11. Once the download has been completed, the following message on the PC will appear: Power
on the meter to activate FW **PROGRAM SUCCESFUL**;
12. If the Meter did not automatically turn off, turn it back on again and check, in the Start-Up or Self-
Test window ( METER INFO - INFO ABOUT ), the SW version number.
WARNING:
In the case the update is interrupted or is not successful, check the USB cable connection and
repeat the procedure from the beginning.
