Firmware Upgrade Instructions
Upgrade Procedure
➤ Disc containing the firmware upgrade file(s)
➢ .z19 or .s19 firmware upgrade file (requires SELBOOT
R205 or newer)
➢ SELBOOT firmware upgrade file (if necessary; based on
relay’s existing SEL
BOOT revision)
➤ Relay Firmware Upgrade Instructions
Optional Equipment
These items help you manage relay settings and understand procedures in the
relay upgrade process:
➤ ACSELERATOR QuickSet
®
SEL-5030 Software (contains a
firmware upload tool that helps to automate this process)
➤ Appropriate SEL-400 series relay manual
Upgrade Procedure
The upgrade kit you received contains the firmware needed to upgrade the
SEL-400 series relay. The kit may also contain firmware needed to upgrade
the SEL
BOOT program. See Table B.1 to identify which firmware files you
received in the upgrade kit.
IMPORTANT: The .z19 files are
compressed versions of the .s19 files.
These will load into the relay much
faster than the .s19 files, but you must
have relay SEL
BOOT version R205 or
newer to use these files.
NOTE: SEL strongly recommends
that you upgrade firmware at the
location of the relay and with a direct
connection from the personal
computer to one of the relay serial
ports. Do not load firmware from a
remote location; problems can arise
that you will not be able to address
from a distance. When upgrading at
the substation, do not attempt to load
the firmware into the relay through an
SEL communications processor.
The firmware upgrade can be performed in one of two ways:
➤ Method One: Use the Firmware Loader provided within
ACSELERATOR QuickSet
®
SEL-5030 Software. The Firmware
Loader automates the firmware upgrade process and is the
preferred method. The Firmware Loader can be used to
upgrade only relay firmware (Rnnn4xx files). If upgrading
SEL
BOOT (Snnn4xx) firmware is required, use Method Two.
➤ Method Two: Connect to the relay in a terminal session and
upgrade the firmware using the steps documented in Method
Two: Using a Terminal Emulator on page P.B.8.
Method One: Using
ACSELERATOR
QuickSet Firmware
Loader
To use the ACSELERATOR QuickSet Firmware Loader, you must have
ACSELERATOR QuickSet. See the PC Software section of the relay instruction
manual for instructions on how to obtain and install the software. Once the
software is installed, perform the firmware upgrade as follows.
