Model 9060Z Manual
12. SOFTWARE UPGRADES
The software for the 9060Z series transmitters is contained in memory inside the microprocessor integrated circuit (IC). The transmitter therefore does not require an external memory IC for the software. Provision has been made to enable the software to be upgraded in the field without the use of a computer. If an upgrade is to be made to the software it will be supplied in a 32 pin EEROM IC type 29F010B. To do the upgrade, use the following steps:
1.Turn the power off to the transmitter at the power switch
2.Remove the hose from the reference air pump (if fitted)
3.Unplug the reference air DC power lead (if fitted)
4.Undo the two M4 screws at the top and bottom of the main shield
5.Remove the earth screw from the main shield on the right hand side of the cabinet
6.Lift out the main shield around the cable glands
7.Fold out the two wings of the blue socket labeled “FIRMWARE UPGRADE SOCKET”. Plug the 29F010B into the socket. Carefully note the direction of the IC. Pin 1 is identified on the PCB and pin 1 on the IC has a small round indentation next to the pin.
8.Hold down the DISPLAY down and the ALARM LOG keys and then turn on the power
9.Release the keys when the message “Verifying the EEROM” will be shown. The transmitter is confirming that the new firmware is valid.
10.After the EEROM has been read and confirmed this message will be shown:
Upgrade Firmware?
Model 9060Z
New Version: 1.##
Upgrade Cancel
11.Press the DISPLAY up key to ‘Upgrade’ the firmware.
12.Press the ALARM up key to cancel the upgrade and continue the start up of the current firmware.
13.When the transmitter has upgraded the firmware it will start up the normal initialization. The version of the firmware is shown on the startup screen.
Upgrading Firmware.
Analyser will reset itself in approx. 15 seconds.
Do not turn off the power
NOTE: While the firmware is being upgraded it is essential that the power is not turned off otherwise the programme will be corrupted and will not be recoverable.
14.Turn the transmitter power off.
15.Unplug the EEROM by pressing out the wings of the blue upgrade socket. Keep the EEROM in a safe place. It can be used to upgrade any number of transmitters as required.
16.Replace the main shield and secure it with the three screws.
17.Reconnect the reference air pump hose and plug (if fitted).
18.Turn the power back on.
NOTE: The transmitter may do an automatic COLD START after the upgrade. The words ‘Cold Start’ will be shown on the display in step 14 if the cold start has been performed. The calibration will NOT be changed but the configuration may have been changed.
