Software/Firmware Updates

The software or firmware in the PV

MET

-100-2 can be updated or changed using the RS-

485 port. Make sure you read the update instructions carefully and be sure you are
installing the correct software. As with all updates, there are risks associated with
changing the flash memory.

Updates are loaded using a Windows based program called IAPflash. This program is
supplied with the “.enc” file along with instructions. Windows is required to perform
updates. No other operating systems are currently supported.

Minimum System Requirements

The PV

MET

-100-2 is equipped with an RS-485 serial port.

RS-485/422

Baud rate:

9600 bps

Parity:

None

Data bits:

8

Stop bits:

1

Interface mode: 2-wire half duplex

Software

The PV

MET

-100-2 is designed to work with an RS-485 Sunspec compliant host. A

terminal emulator program is required to change settings.
