Step 2: Send Request to GE with Data from USB

To place order, contact GE Post Sales Support (see How to contact us on page 2).

GE will request the following information:

Entellisys System Identifier: Summary#, Sub#

HMI Upgrade request information saved on the USB flash memory device (*.dat file)

New options requested

Some features are simple to add, and can be upgraded by the System Administrator. Other features require more programming and potentially onsite installation/testing to ensure system performance. This will be explained when the order is placed.

Step 3: Get new Option String from GE

GE will either mail or e-mail the new option string (*.dat file). Copy the new option string to a USB flash memory device.

Step 4: Install the Upgrade

Follow the procedure below to install the feature upgrade option string:

1.Insert the USB flash device into a USB port. For Touchscreen HMIs, this port is accessed from the front of the switchgear, behind the small door in the bottom right corner of the HMI.

2.On the Main Menu, click the Maintenance button. The button will only be displayed if access is allowed with the current login permissions.

3.Click the Open Options String File button in the Upgrade Option String group.

4. In the “Browse CPU Option File” dialog box, select the Option string file (file extension is .dat).

11

 

5.Click Open. A dialog box stating “Option String successfully read” will display. Acknowledge the dialog box.

6.After successful reading of the option string, the Write to Both CPUs and Reboot button will automatically be enabled. Click the Write to Both CPUs and Reboot button. A confirmation message will display stating that “After Option string loading started, you can't abort it. Are you sure you want to proceed it”.

7.Click Yes to proceed (or click No to cancel option upgrade). The “Loading Option String” status will display.

8.Verify the feature upgrades are installed. On the Maintenance screen, click the Options tab. Select the Line-up Options and Per Breaker Options items.
