Firmware Upgrades
The operating system firmware of the tester can be updated by
either the following methods:
Phase One Firmware Upgrade Kit (p/n TBA). This kit
consists of a portable programmer pre-loaded with the
latest version of the firmware. Upgrade is accomplished by
connecting directly to the instrument’s main board. This
requires removal of the back panel of the instrument. All
instrument data, such as total cycle count and error log
content are preserved during the upgrade.
Phase One Board Replacement Kit, p/n 40-107-011. This
kit consists of a replacement main board, pre-programmed
with the latest version of the firmware. This method
requires removal of the back panel of the instrument,
followed by removal and replacement of the main board. A
higher degree of technical proficiency is required and in
most cases a higher degree of revalidation of the
instrument. All of the instrument data, such as total cycle
count and error log content will be lost during the main
board replacement.
Both of the above solutions come with documented service
instructions. Consult with Hanson Technical Support or your
local Hanson-authorized service center for help in deciding
which option is best for a particular situation.
