Firmware downgrade
When downgrading the firmware, you replace the inverter firmware by an older version. Only
downgrade the firmware to an older version if, after replacing an inverter, you require the
same firmware in all of your inverters.
Precondition
The firmware version of your inverter is at least V4.6.
You have the memory card with the firmware that matches the inverter.
Inverter and memory card have different firmware versions.
You have backed up your settings on the memory card, in an operator panel or in a PC.
Procedure
Proceed as follows to downgrade the inverter firmware to an older version:
1. Switch off the inverter power supply.
2. Wait until all LEDs on the inverter go dark.
3. Insert the card with the matching firmware into the inverter slot until it latches into place.
4. Switch on the inverter power supply.
5. The inverter transfers the firmware from the memory card into its memory.
The transfer takes approximately 5 10 minutes.
While data is being transferred, the LED RDY on the inverter stays red. The LED BF
flashes orange with a variable frequency.
6. At the end of the transfer, the LED RDY and BF slowly flash red (0.5 Hz).
