2.2 Backing Up Existing SoM Database
Before replacing the SOM in the UMCB, you should back up the database to preserve
and verify the parameters so they can be restored to the new SOM after completing
the installation.
You will need a PC with a web browser (Google Chrome is recommended) and the
TechnipFMC Log Plotter Tool.
Complete following steps to back up the database:
1. Connect to the meter using a web browser and download the parameters to a USC
file; this file will be used to configure the new SoM to the meter.
2. Using the TechnipFMC Log Plotter Tool, open the USC file and determine whether
any parameters are missing. Missing parameters are highlighted in red; the status
bar indicates the number of missing parameters. If parameters are missing,
download the USC file again and re-verify.
When uploading this parameter file to the new SOM, the meter tag name will not
transfer. You must program this using a web browser after uploading the
parameters.
2.3 Removing the UMCB
Complete the following steps to remove the UMBC from the meter’s electronics
enclosure:
1. Verify that all power to the explosion proof enclosure is removed.
2. Remove the 10 M8 1.25 x 25 mm socket-head cap screw cover bolts with a 5 mm
hexagon key wrench and open the electronics enclosure.
3. Following the instructions on the anti-static wrist strap’s packaging, ground the
strap by attaching one end of the anti-static strap to your wrist and attaching the
other end of the strap to a suitable grounding point in the area close to the
enclosure.
