7.2.5.7. Firmware Update
TEC 3000 firmware should only be updated by authorized MVE Distributors or
under the direction of Technical Service. Be sure not to disconnect the controller
from power or disconnect the TEC COM kit from the controller or computer.
Improper firmware updates can render the controller inoperable.
The firmware, or controller software, can be updated in the event that a new revision is
released. A personal computer, Chart/MVE TEC COM USB communications kit (PN
13376947), and the current firmware updater program are required to perform an
upgrade. Contact your authorized MVE Distributor or Technical Service for more
information.
1. Connect the TEC COM USB kit to serial port 1 on the TEC 3000 and a USB port on a
computer.
2. Start the current firmware updater program.
3.
When prompted, select “Update Firmware” in the TEC 3000 Advanced Settings Menu
and cycle power to the controller.
4. The updater program should begin loading the new firmware.
5. Once complete, the controller may take several minutes to reboot. It is normal for an
occasional beep to sound during this rebooting period.
