Firmware upgrade.
The 8800E/8801E Rack monitor is build for the future therefore new updates to expand the functionality of this rack
monitor can be expected.
To upgrade your 8800E/8801E rack monitor switch off all power to the rack monitor. Open the door (see
installation manual for details) and if there is a memory card already placed at the lower right corner replace it with
the new card. (see Figure 2)
Close the door (see installation manual for details) and restore power.
The rack monitor will copy the needed files from the card to its memory.
During update the main software the yellow indicators will flash rapidly and when the display software is updated
the yellow indicators will flash a little bit slower. In both cases the update progress is shown with the 12 green
compartment indicators. After updating the firmware the card will be used for Data logging.
Copying files from the card and installing will take approximate 10 minutes.
The new firmware will be supplied with a new appendix. Please save this appendix with this manual.
The rack monitor is ready for use if the screens are updated with the new version number at the first screen after
power up.
Event log.

The 8800E/8801E Rack monitor has his own Real Time Clock, factory set to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
Note: GMT does not change with daylight savings time!
The event file is stored as a CSV file with the name Rackmon.log . A minimum of three events are stored every
load. Start loading (detecting), permissive (Sensing) and end of loading. Additional events are stored when the
bypass key is used.
