To connect to TripSaver II reclosers with firmware version 1.9 or earlier, the
USB Transceiver MUST have firmware version 1.6 or 2.0 for the connection to be
successful. Otherwise, the message in Figure 42 will be displayed. The combination of USB
Transceiver version 1.6 or 2.0 and SCC Software version 2.0 will be backward-compatible
with all TripSaver II recloser firmware versions : 2.0, 1.9, 1.8, 1.7, 1.6, 1.5, 1.3, and 1.0.
To connect successfully with TripSaver II reclosers with firmware version 2.0, a USB
transceiver with firmware version 2.0 is required. Either update a USB transceiver with
firmware version 1.6 to 2.0 using the procedure detailed in the “USB Transceiver Firmware
Update” section on page 43, or use the new USB transceiver part number FDA-1868R2.
