distribution of the firmware to:
◦ Converter and extender requires at least 3 minutes + 2
minutes per component for the standard communication
cycle.

component for the standard communication cycle.
◦ Router requires at least 6.5 hours (all logged-in routers are
updated in parallel).
◦ Radio probe in stationary use requires at least 16 hours (all
logged-in radio probes are updated in parallel).
• The Saveris base must be connected to the computer via USB
or Ethernet cable.
• All Saveris components must have at least firmware version
1.12 for the update. System components with firmware version
< V 1.12 can only be updated via service interface.

equipped with the following firmware version as a minimum

• All outstanding alarms must be acknowledged by you before a
firmware system update.
• ATTENTION: During the firmware update process, never
disconnect the power supply/network supply and the PC
connection.
• During the update, measurements, data storage and data
communication are continued so there is no data loss.
• Configuration changes during the firmware system update
should not be carried out to ensure that the process is not
slowed.
• As there is heavy radio traffic during the update, alarms relating
to interrupted radio links may occur temporarily.
