1. General Information
There are 3 types of Modules that can be flashed based on unit configuration.
Part numbers for the modules can be located in the upper right hand corner of
the module. See the pictures at the end of instructions for examples:
ASY-0673 Brown Label Split phase power module
ASY-0675 Orange Label optional charger Module
ASY-0674 White Label Universal Power Module
System refers to the Interface board in the UPS Chassis.
Before flashing the 9170+ the unit must be in the off mode. If your system is
hardwired you must externally bypass the unit before proceeding. When performing
this procedure, ensure you are using a straight thru 9 pin serial cable.
Before upgrading the firmware to the latest version, check to ensure your
unit is at version V2.19 or greater for both the power modules and system. If your
system is not at version 2.19 Ensure you upgrade the system and power modules
to 2.19 before proceeding to a higher revision firmware level. (See verifying
system flash section below to check you current version). Contact Eaton
technical support at 1-800-356-5737 option 2 to obtain version 2.19 firmware.
The Charger module ( ASY-0675) can be upgraded directly to latest firmware
version.
If communication is interrupted at any time during the execution of the flash program
this will cause damage to the power modules and interface board. It is
recommended to flash half the power modules at any one time. Ensure all other
power modules are pulled from the system before the flash executable is started.
