Updating Control Software
Occasionally, the operating system for the switch control or the control software may need
to be updated. The Update program, installed with IntelliLink software, easily replace
the old control software with the newer version.
Note:
The setpoint values and historical data stored in the switch control could be lost
during the update process. To be safe, always generate all needed reports using the old
IntelliLink and control software before updating the control.

power) as well as battery power during the update process .
