damaged due to improper transport or incorrect
storage. If the device is damaged in any way,
operation without hazards is not possible and the
device may not be installed and taken into operation.
Check whether the enclosed materials, such as
gaskets, are suitable for your process conditions
(pressure, temperature, etc.).
The installation should only be performed under
supervision by a specialist and in compliance with
all applicable work safety rules.

5 Updating the firmware
Take care that the BlueVary is connected to the power supply and via the RS232-USB-adaptor to the
computer (Chapter 3). If the BlueVary is connected to a program via the adaptor, it has to be closed.
When the communication works with a background service, also the service has to be closed. Always
use the latest firmware and the latest version of the update program BlueSensBoot.exe. Both can be
received from the BlueSens service team.
Preparing the software5.1
The firmware and the update program are normally provided as a zip-file containing a folder with the
latest firmware and the update program BlueSensBoot.exe. Unzip the File BlueVary
FirmwareUpdater.zip to your desktop.
Performing the update5.2
To start the software double-click on BlueSensBoot.exe (Fig.12).
After the software has started click on the choose program button (Fig 13) and select the
BlueVary_VX_Y*.bin firmware file which is in the same folder as the program.

EN
The next step is to select the right COM-Port. If the port number of the RS232-USB adaptor of the
BlueVary is unknown, all available port numbers that are shown in the port list of BlueSensBoot (Fig. 14)
must be written down. Then the program has to be closed and the adaptor disconnected from the
computer. After opening the program again, the now missing port number has to be marked. After
closing the program again, reconnecting the adapter to the same USB port as before and opening the
program again this port has to be chosen.
If the BlueVary is in firmware update mode (see Chapter 4), it now can be connected to the program by
clicking the connect to device button. (Fig. 15)
When the BlueVary has been switched to the firmware update mode and the right COM port has been
selected, a message will appear in the software and the programming can be started by clicking the start
programming button. (Fig. 16)

Caution!
During the programming procedure the BlueVary must not be disconnected from computer
or power supply. This can destroy the BlueVary.
The updating of the firmware will take less than 2 minutes. It is performed in two different steps.
First the old firmware will be erased. (Fig. 17)
Then the new firmware is uploaded. (Fig. 18)
Fig. 16: When message states the connection start programming can be clicked

When the programming is completed the program will switch the BlueVary from bootloader (firmware
update) to application mode and restart it. To free the COM port for other application the Disconnect
button has to be pressed. (Fig. 19)
Now the program has to be closed or another BlueVary has to be connected to the RS232-USB
adaptor.
