Restoring the Factory Configuration
If you have made changes to the default functionality and want to return to the
factory configuration, you can e-initialize the factory configuration in the meter
through Designer. The basic setup of the device can be retained, so the meter does
not need to be taken out of service for a long period of time.
NOTE
If you restore the factory configuration, all custom features you created are lost.
To restore the factory configuration:
1. Display the meter’s main Configuration screen in Designer.
2. Choose Select All from the Edit menu, then press Delete on your keyboard.
The confirmation dialog box appears explaining that some modules will not be
deleted (core modules cannot be deleted — scroll down in the dialog to see that
various standard modules will be deleted).
3. Click OK on the confirmation dialog box.
After a brief wait the modules are deleted, and the main meter Configuration
screen is blank except for the Frameworks folder in the Advanced Setup area.
(The Frameworks folder contains the folder of Core modules which cannot be
deleted.)
4. Choose Select All from the Edit menu to select the Frameworks folder. This
selects all subfolders and modules within the folder.
5. Choose Paste from Framework in the Edit menu, and select the appropriate .fwn
file from the folder \WinPM.Net\config\fmwk\nd\ and click OK.
Ensure that the chosen .fwn file includes the following in the filename:
The model name of the meter you are restoring (i.e. 7300, 7330 or 7350)
The base firmware version (e.g. v250, v265, etc.)
For example, if you are restoring an 9300 with a V252 firmware version, you
could select the file “7300_v250_FAC-4WYE_V2.1.0.0.0.fwn”. Although this file
was designed for V250, the framework is also used for V252, because v250 is the
base firmware version upon which v252 is built. (For details about framework
files, contact Customer Service.)
6. Click Open. The Paste Summary window appears.
7. Click on the first module, scroll down to the last module, hold the Shift key and
click on the last module. This selects all of the modules.
8. While holding the Shift key, click on the check box to the left of the module name
so you see a lock icon with a green checkmark.
9. Check “Maintain external inputs” and click OK on the confirmation dialog box.
A message appears indicating that Designer is pasting modules. All modules are
selected when the paste is complete. Click anywhere in the background of the
node diagram to deselect all of the modules.
