Firmware and configuration upload

Firmware update:

The unit is designed so that its functions and parameters can be updated via firmware. To do this, transfer the current firmware package to the unit via the selected network. It will then be automatically installed there.

In this way, a unit can be serviced and updated remotely without a technician having to change the installation on site.

You obtain the current firmware from your customer service or from the download area on our Internet site.

Caution
