REMOVE THE BAIL AND FEET FROM 

AN INSTRUMENT

To make sure there is the proper clearance between stacked 

instruments when rack mounting, the feet and bail must be 

removed.
On the underside of the instrument, using a Phillips head 

screwdriver, unscrew the four rubber feet.

UPDATE THE INSTRUMENT 

FIRMWARE

Updates  to  the  instrument  firmware  are  available  on  the 

Wavelength website. 
1. 

Turn the instrument completely off at both the front and 

rear panels.

2. 

On the Wavelength website, download the ZIP file that is 

specific to your QCL Laboratory Series model and save 

the update file to a flash drive.
The file is found at:

www.teamwavelength.com/support/software-downloads/

3. 

Extract  the  file  on  the  flash  drive.  It  should  contain  the 

following files:

\INSTALL.INI
\QCLxx\ABL.IMG
\QCLxx\APP.IMG
\QCLxx\INSTALL.INI

NOTE: “QCLxx” is replaced with the instrument model number, 

such as QCL2000.
4. 

Insert  the  flash  drive  into  the  front  DATA  port  on  the 

instrument. Turn rear panel power on.  The update 

automatically begins installation.

5.  At the 

Apply  the  firmware

 screen, press 

Yes

. The 

firmware update installs.  Remove the flash drive.

6.  Once the update is complete, press 

OK

 and reboot the 

instrument by turning off the front and rear panel power 

buttons and turning them back on again.

If you are upgrading from version 0.79 to version 1.5+, all 

calibration and user data will be converted and saved.  If you 

downgrade from version 1.5+ to version 0.79, all existing 

calibration data will be lost.

DETERMINE WHICH FIRMWARE 

VERSION IS INSTALLED

With the rear and front panel power switches on, swipe the 

touchscreen from left to right to show the System Information 

screen.
