HTO-1103 FlexStat Firmware Flash Upgrade Kit 7 Installation Guide, Rev. N
Updating Nonreleased Firmware
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.
You may need to reconfigure the FlexStat and even
rewire terminals.
1. BACK UP YOUR FLEXSTAT BEFORE
PROCEEDING! Use the back-up function in the
Firmware Upgrade Tool, TotalControl, or BAC-
stage.
2. Before the update, capture the object list of the
old firmware with your selected application.
NOTE: The easiest way to compare the before-
and-after object lists is to open BACstage’s
Object List (F11 and select the appropriate
FlexStat from the list), do a series of screen
captures (Alt Print Screen), and paste each
screen capture into Microsoft Word. (See
Illustration 10 .)
3. Perform the update.
4. Ensure the same application is still selected and
capture the object list of the new firmware.
5. Compare the two object lists BEFORE using
the FlexStat to control equipment.
6. Reconfigure and rewire the FlexStat as needed to
use the new released firmware. See the FlexStat
Application Guide and/or relevant (according to
model) Installation Guide.
