Firmware update

WARNING! 

Obey the safety instructions on page 

5

. If you ignore the 

instructions, physical injury or death, or damage to the equipment can 

occur.

Prerequisites

You need the following items to update the firmware:

A zip file with the new firmware, for example 

KMSF0_v1.70.0.0.zip

.

A USB cable (USB to Mini-USB) to connect the PC to the inverter.

A Windows PC with administrator rights.

The software upload tool “Drive Loader 2” installed on the PC.

You can request the toll from your local FIMER representative.

To update the firmware

1. Unzip the new firmware zip file locally on the PC.
2. Power up the inverter.
3. Open the control cabinet door that has the start switch and the status LEDs.
4. Make sure that the control panel loads and responds normally.
5. Backup data from the inverter. This step must be done because any modified 

parameter settings, such as option codes, Modbus node ID, and so on, need to be 

restored after the SW upload. On the control panel:

Open the 

Main menu

.

Select 

Backups

.

Select 

Create backup

.

6. Disable the inverter with the Start/Stop switch. On the control panel:

Open the 

Main menu

.

Select 

Parameters

 and 

Complete list

.

Scroll to 

189 Inverter control

 and press 

Select

.

Return to the start view.

7. Connect the PC to the inverter with a USB cable. The control panel displays 

USB 

connected

 when the connection is established.

8. Select one of the following upload methods:

Firmware upload by changing the firmware flash drive

This firmware upgrade method requires preloaded firmware flash drives.
1. Disconnect the auxiliary power of the inverter.
2. Remove the The ZMU-02 flash drive by loosening the screw that is attached to the 

flash drive.

3. Insert the new replacement flash drive into the same slot. This upload method requires 

that the control unit does not have electricity.

4. Reconnect the auxiliary power to the inverter.
