medTester 5000C Field Upgrade Installation Instructions

These instructions tell you how to perform an instrument firmware upgrade to a medTester 5000C and how to install optional modules into a Fluke Biomedical medTester 5000C.

Note

If you ordered more than one module and/or upgrade, you have received more than one set of these instructions. But you can perform all installations at the same time with one set of instructions.

In these instructions, upgrade means that you are bringing up to date the firmware in your medTester 5000. Upgrading involves replacing firmware integrated circuits (ICs). Enabling modules means that you are installing software from diskettes to your medTester in order to make medTester modules available for use.

In some cases you need to install additional ICs that work with specific medTester 5000C modules. These are the modules for Expanded Memory, and medCheck. You have received all of the parts necessary to perform the installation yourself and to enable individual medTester 5000C modules.

If you have already had Fluke Biomedical upgrade your medTester or install modules at the factory, you are receiving the module installation disks in the event that you need to reinstall the modules later. Please save these instructions with your installation disks. Your instrument is ready to use.
