Downloading and
saving setpoint files
Back up a copy of the in-service settings for each commissioned 350 unit, so as to revert
to the commissioned settings after inadvertent, unauthorized, or temporary setting
changes are made, after the settings default due to firmware upgrade, or when the unit
has to be replaced. This section describes how to backup settings to a file and how to use
that file to restore settings to the original relay or to a replacement relay
Setpoints must be saved to a file on the local PC before performing any firmware
