Notes:
- During upload, 5X00 systems are placed into Service Hold which de-energizes
any active systems including energized relays. See SVR Hold Menu - page
134 for additional information. No “off” event is created for system relays
that de-energize when 5X00 is placed in downloader. Systems are reset when
power is cycled after downloader.
- All logs and unit configuration are retained when 5X00 firmware is updated.
- Display board code loads first, followed by control board code. The display
board screen flickers when display board code is loading. The display stops
flickering when the control board code is loading. The Firmware Updater
progress bar will complete two full scrolls during firmware updating.
- Total download time is approximately nine minutes; eight minutes to up-
load display board firmware and about one minute to upload control board
firmware.
- Autopoll must be shut down when firmware is uploaded to 5X00.
