UPDATING ENDPOINT FIRMWARE
This section provides instructions for the following procedures.
• Updating Endpoint Firmware via IR
• Updating Endpoint Firmware via RF
UPDATING ENDPOINT FIRMWARE CLEARS HISTORICAL PROFILE DATA FROM THE ENDPOINT.
HISTORICAL PROFILE DATA CAN BE EXTRACTED PRIOR TO PERFORMING A FIRMWARE UPDATE BY USING
THE ORION ENDPOINT UTILITY SOFTWARE LAPTOP OR THE ORION FIELD APPLICATION SOFTWARE
TRIMBLE® RANGER HANDHELD.
OTE:N Instructions for extracting profile data can be found in the user manuals titled ORION Endpoint Utility for Laptop and
ORION Endpoint Utility for Trimble Ranger. Both manuals are available at www.badgermeter.com.
Firmware Versions
The software application determines the appropriate firmware version to use for the update based on the endpoint and
encoder type. The software auto-detects the endpoint type based on the encoder to which it is connected and displays the
firmware version at the start and the end of the firmware update process.
The software logs endpoints that have been updated and automatically creates and saves a log file on the user's computer.
For complete information, see "Completed Updates" on page27.
Optional IR Programming Bracket
An IR Programming Bracket (PN: 65917-001) is available and can be used when performing IR endpoint firmware updates. For
additional information, refer to "IR Programming Bracket" on page46.
