Firmware Upgrade Instructions
Upgrade Procedure
Upgrade Procedure
The upgrade kit you received contains the firmware needed to upgrade the
SEL-400 series relay. The kit may also contain firmware needed to upgrade the
SEL
BOOT
program. See
to identify which firmware files you received
in the upgrade kit.
NOTE:
The .z19 files are compressed
versions of the .s19 files. These will
load into the relay much faster than
the .s19 files, but you must have relay
SEL
BOOT
version R205 or newer to
use these files.
NOTE:
SEL strongly recommends
that you upgrade firmware at the
location of the relay and with a direct
connection from the PC 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.
The firmware upgrade can be performed in one of two ways:
➤
Method One: Use the Firmware Loader provided within QuickSet.
The Firmware Loader automates the firmware upgrade process and is
the preferred method. The Firmware Loader can be used to upgrade
only relay firmware (R
nnn
4
xx
files or R
nnn
-V
y
-4
xx
). If upgrading
SEL
BOOT
(S
nnn
4
xx
) firmware is required, use Method Two.
➤
Method Two: Connect to the relay in a terminal session and upgrade
the firmware using the steps documented in
Method One: Using QuickSet Firmware Loader
To use the QuickSet Firmware Loader, you must have QuickSet. See
for instructions on how to obtain and install the software. Once the
software is installed, perform the firmware upgrade as follows.
A Obtain Firmware File
NOTE:
The Firmware Loader can be
used to load only relay firmware
(R
nnn
4
xx
or R
nnn
-V
y
4
xx
). If you need
to upgrade relay SEL
BOOT
firmware,
use Method Two.
The firmware file is usually provided on a CD-ROM. Locate the firmware file on
the disc. The file name is of the form R
nnn
4
xx
or
Rnnn-
V
y
4
xx
, where R
nnn
is the
firmware revision number, V
y
indicates the point release number, 4
xx
indicates
the relay type, and .s19 or .z19 is the firmware file extension. Copy the firmware
file to an easily accessible location on the PC.
Firmware is designed to be used with specific relays. A list of relay serial num-
bers is provided as part of the firmware upgrade package. The firmware provided
is for use with the listed relays only. Attempts to upgrade relays not listed might
not be successful and can result in relay failure.
B Remove Relay From Service
Step 1. If the relay is in use, follow your company practices for removing a
relay from service. Typically, these practices include disabling input
and output control functions.
Step 2. Apply power to the relay.
