HTO-1103 FlexStat Firmware Flash Upgrade Kit 5 Installation Guide, Rev. N
Updating the Firmware
1. Under BACnet Family > BAC-1xxxxx (desired
FlexStat model) in the left panel of the Firmware
Upgrade Tool, double-click the firmware ver-
sion you wish to install. (See Illustration 7 .)
Ensure firmware for the correct model is selected.
NOTE: Click the + signs to expand the tree.
Illustration 8—If Needed, Cancel (Stop After Current Stage)
Illustration 9—Replace Firmware
NOTE: A PDF version of this document can be
accessed by clicking Help and then the
model number. Clicking Tool launches
the Help system that contains general
information about the Firmware Upgrade
Tool as well as information about updating
KMC devices other than the FlexStat.
NOTE: If Create Image First is left selected
(recommended), this backs up the FlexStat’s
existing firmware and configuration before
installing the new version. The firmware
and configuration can be backed up
separately (Create Panel Image) or restored
(Restore Panel Image). Change the default
backup image file name as desired, and
ensure the correct backup file is selected
when restoring.
4. In the Replace Firmware box, ensure that the
firmware versions are correct and click Yes. (See
Illustration 9 .) (Replacing the firmware takes sig-
nificantly less time than backing-up the FlexStat.)
Illustration 7—Double-Click Desired Firmware
CAUTION
Before updating a FlexStat’s firmware for
the first time, back up the FlexStat (using
the Firmware Upgrade Tool, TotalControl, or
BACstage).
If your FlexStat has CUSTOM or PRE-RELEASE
firmware (Ex.x.x.x instead of Rx.x.x.x), options
and points may have changed in the released
versions. See
Updating Nonreleased Firmware
on page 7 before proceeding!
2. In Select Port, select the USB port to which the
programming pod is attached (if not already
selected).
NOTE: If the USB port does not appear in the drop-
down list or an error message appears after
clicking Start, see Troubleshooting on page
6 .
3. Click Start and OK.
NOTE: Burn Progress will show the back-up first (if
selected) and then show (after clicking Yes)
the upgrade progress. The progress bar may
bounce back and forth the first few times
the kit is used, but it will do so less as it
“learns” the approximate time updates take
on that computer.
CAUTION
During the upgrade process, if you wish to cancel,
click the Cancel button and then Yes to stop the
upgrade process after the current stage (which
may take up to several minutes). (See
Illustration
8 .) Clicking the No button will allow the process
to continue. Clicking Yes and then Cancel again
will allow you to stop the process immediately but
may also corrupt the firmware, requiring that the
FlexStat’s firmware and configuration be reinstalled
before it will operate properly.
