Caution:

Do not downgrade the firmware. Downgrading the firmware to a previous version may result in loss of functionality or malfunctioning of the device.

Tips:

To ensure a proper firmware update and prevent malfunction of the pump, make sure that before and during the update:

• the pump is turned on and idle,
• the communication between Chromeleon and the pump is not interrupted.

Firmware files have the extension .hex. The firmware versions of the available .hex files can be viewed in the IQReport.log file located in the IQ directory of the Chromeleon installation.

For detailed information about firmware update, refer to the operating instructions for the module.
