If the meter is connected to network and configured with STATIC IP address, proceed to .

If the meter is connected to network and configured in DHCP mode:

  • Disconnect the meter from the network.

  • Switch the IP method to Stored.

  1. Configure the meter HTTP port number to 80 using the webpage ( Settings > Advanced Ethernet Settings ) or through ION Setup .
  2. Connect the PC directly to the meter and check that the IP domain of the PC is set to same as meter, and that the meter is communicating with the PC (for example, by running a ping test).
  3. Open the Config.csv file which is part of the firmware upgrade tool package.
  4. Modify the Config.csv file in Notepad and enter the meter's configuration in below order without the <> brackets and without any spaces around the commas:
    <IP Address>,<Modbus Slave ID>,<Web-master username>,<Web-master password>,<Product-Master username>,<Product-Master password>
    NOTE: Before saving the Config.csv file, ensure that the file contains only one line text, and the last character of this line is the Product-Master password without space, dot, comma etc.
    Example: 192.168.0.10,255,user1,pass1,user2,pass2
  5. Save and close the .csv file
  6. Double click the PM5000fwupgrade.exe to open the firmware upgrade tool.
