5. Operation
Setting the altitude of the installation location (in meters above sea level)
This is important as it affects the actual pressure in
the retort.
Press SITE ELEVATION (meters), enter the value in
the number field and press OK.
This parameter (in meters) must be entered to ensure
that the ASP300 S makes the appropriate corrections
when calculating the proper pressure or vacuum.

Upgrading software New versions of the ASP300 S operating software are distributed on dis-
kettes. These upgrade packages normally include 2 to 3 diskettes.

Do not attempt a software upgrade if you do not have all diskettes
of a package available.
Read the documentation in the upgrade package to find out how
to carry out the upgrade, as the included documentation may still
contain version-specific additional information, and to find out if
new/modified procedures, parameters or data are present that
have to be loaded or modified for the new software version to run.
1. First make a backup copy of the instrument's current data. To do so, you
need an empty, formatted diskette.
2. Insert the disk marked "Disk 1" (or similar) of the software upgrade into
the disk drive.
3. Press the UPGRADE SOFTWARE button. This is followed by two security
prompts that must both be answered with YES / OK. Afterwards, follow
the instructions on the screen.
When prompted, insert the disk labeled "Disk 2" into the disk drive. Follow
the same procedure for the other disks (if present).
4. After the update process is complete, the instrument software carries
out a restart – the screen shuts off and then restarts as if the instrument
had been switched off and switched on again.
