Firmware Upgrade Instructions
Overview
From time to time, SEL issues firmware upgrades for this relay. The
instructions which follow explain how you can install new firmware in your
SEL-300 series relay. In addition, SEL issues firmware upgrades for the
optional Ethernet ports (

Relay Firmware Upgrade Instructions
Introduction for
Relay Firmware
Upgrades
These firmware upgrade instructions apply to all SEL-300 series relays except
the SEL-321 series relays (which use EPROM instead of Flash).
SEL occasionally offers firmware upgrades to improve the performance of
your relay. Changing physical components is unnecessary because the relay
stores firmware in Flash memory.
A firmware loader program called SEL
BOOT
resides in the relay. To upgrade
firmware, use the SEL
BOOT
program to download an SEL-supplied file from a
personal computer to the relay via any communications port. This procedure is
described in the following steps.
NOTE:
SEL strongly recommends
that you upgrade firmware at the
location of the relay and with a
direct
connection
from the personal
computer to one of the relay serial
ports. Do not load firmware from a
remote location; problems can arise
that you will not be able to address
from a distance. When upgrading at
the substation, do not attempt to load
the firmware into the relay through an
SEL communications processor.
Perform the firmware upgrade process in the following sequence:
A. Prepare the Relay
B. Establish a Terminal Connection
C. Save Settings and Other Data
D. Start SEL
BOOT
E. Download Existing Firmware
F. Upload New Firmware
G. Check Relay Self-Tests
H. Verify Settings, Calibration, Status, Breaker Wear, and
Metering
I.
Return the Relay to Service
