15.1 Initial remarks
When updating the software of the MultiFlow (by downloading it or by
exchanging the EPROM) the following documents should be at hand, or
should have been printed out in advance.
•
Parameter list print-out

Parameter list on a chip card

15.2 Software update by download
The following chapter describes how to update the software for a
MultiFlow.
With other devices (which support the download feature) proceed
similarly.
15.2.1
Hazard notes
EX instructions for construction/installation (e.g. DIN EN 60079-14;
VDE 0165) must be strictly followed!
Generally a laptop computer is not explosion proof, and therefore
must not be operated within areas liable to explosion (e.g. driver’s
cab)!
The protection circuits of the Sening components are laid out for
power supply voltage on board of a truck (24V). For safety reasons
only laptops powered by batteries (laptop power supply voltage
<24V) may therefore be used.
It is strictly prohibited to connect a mains-powered laptop or PC!
Any kind of manipulation, either mechanical or electrical, is prohibited!

•
Instructions on EX signs must be strictly followed.
•
It is not permissible to fit any additional components in the housings or
in the terminal boxes (e.g. additional terminals), since this would
contravene the device approval.
•
Any right to claim warranty is waived if these rules are not adhered to.
