Update Sensor Firmware Using WirelessHART Gateway

Use the Ranger Pro configuration software to update devices on an Emerson 

WirelessHART gateway. 

Before you can update sensor firmware, be sure you have downloaded and added current 

versions of the firmware to the application.

To update device firmware using a WirelessHART on an Emerson WirelessHART gateway: 

 1.  Open Ranger Pro configuration software. 

 2.  Select 

Network Manager

 > 

Gateways

 tab. 

 3.  Select the Emerson gateway hosting the sensors you want to update.
 4.  Select the
