Loading meter firmware using ION Setup
You can load firmware onto your meter using ION Setup.
You can download firmware for your meter from www.usa.siemens.com/pds.
You must load a meter template as part of the firmware upgrade process. You can
save your meter’s existing template by navigating to
Template > Save to PC in
the ION Setup Assistant and clicking Save to save your meter’s template as a .
DCF file. You can also use a template that you have saved from another meter of
the same type, or download a factory template from www.usa.siemens.com/pds.
Ensure that you record your meter’s user and password information in a secure
location before upgrading the meter’s firmware. If your meter’s user and password
information is lost, you must return the meter for factory reconfiguration, which
resets your meter to its factory defaults and destroys all logged data.
Any digital and analog outputs associated with your device may change state
during a firmware upgrade.
