Firmware Update With Battery Power

• S&C recommends the switch operator use both battery and AC control power when updating the control software.
• If the control software must be updated at a location where no AC control power is available, follow these instructions to override the Automatic Shutdown procedure.

Protection System Logic

• The CPU directs all functions of the switch operator, including charging and monitoring the battery system. When the CPU program stops, the operator will not function, and the battery or circuits might be damaged.
• To indicate the CPU program is functioning properly, it sets a bit on the PS/IO board every few seconds. When that bit is not set for 60 seconds, the PS/IO board disconnects the battery. This shuts down the operator and prevents damage to the control circuits and battery.
• During the update process, the CPU is unable to function and cannot set the bit on the PS/IO board. The protection logic disconnects the battery 60 seconds or less after the update process begins.
• When AC control power (or sensor power) is present, the operator continues to operate without battery power and completes the software update. However, if ac control power (or sensor power) is not present, the operator shuts down, terminating the software update. There is no damage to the operator, and the update process can be started again.

Manually Overriding the Battery Disconnect Command

• The operator software can be updated using only battery power by manually sending a Battery On command to the PS/IO board.
• To do so, press the BAT ON switch every 30 seconds.
• This black momentary-contact switch is located on the PS/IO board. See Figure 40.
• Updating the control software may take up to 15 minutes.
• Pushing the BAT ON switch is usually easier than moving the operator to a location with ac control power (or sensor power).
