SP PRO Firmware Update Procedure
Introduction
This procedure provides instructions for updating the SP PRO operating program or Firmware.
This only needs to be performed if you have been specifically requested to update the
firmware. The firmware is updated using SP LINK and can be updated either on-site or
remotely.
Requirements
Install the latest version of SP LINK BEFORE updating the SP PRO firmware.
The latest SP LINK is available at http://www.selectronic.com.au/splink and it includes the most
recently released firmware.
State of Charge (SoC)
The SP PRO defaults to 85% SoC after every restart or reset. The SP PRO must reset after the
update for it to use the new firmware. It is a good idea to record the present value of SoC so
that afterwards the SoC can be re-entered using the Reset SoC function under Service Settings.
Before updating firmware
After the latest version of SP LINK has been installed on your PC start SP LINK and connect to
the SP PRO. It is recommended that the current configuration settings be downloaded from the
SP PRO inverter and saved to your site file before updating the firmware. This can be done by:
1. Connect to the SP PRO.
2. Select the Configuration Settings tab.
3. Click the Get SP PRO’s Configuration button.
4. Save Configuration settings. (“File”, “Configuration Settings”, “Save”)

Option 2 –Scheduled Reset
Enter a time into Scheduled Reset
Time when a brief interruption is most
convenient.
The SP PRO uses 24 hour time. In this
example, we have selected 3:00am.
Click Set Scheduled Reset.
The SP PRO is now set to reset at that
time and will continue to operate
normally.
(If you change your mind about the
scheduled reset time, simply set a new
value which will override the first. Or if
you click Reset SP PRO Now, the
inverter will be reset immediately and any
scheduled reset will be disabled.)
Click Close.
At the scheduled time, the SP PRO will
reset, appear to be off for 3 minutes,
then resume operation as it was prior to
being reset.
Firmware Update is now complete.
After updating firmware
Start SP LINK and connect to the SP PRO. Load the saved Configuration file into SP LINK.
Make any required changes to your configuration settings.
Note: If you are updating from a version of SP PRO firmware that is less than 7.00 to a version
of firmware that is 7.00 or greater please be aware that some settings will no longer be active
and reprogramming Configuration Settings may be required. For full details see the document
“Migrating Legacy Settings” in the Help menu within SP LINK.
Program your previously saved configuration settings back into the SP PRO using the
