© 2006 McQuay International
CAUTION
!
Upgrading CSM software returns all customized system setpoints back to factory
defaults.
Prior to upgrading the CSM software, it is recommended that you perform the following
tasks:
1. Record your current settings from each page of the CSM User Interface. After completion of this
procedure, you will need to re-enter the data from the browser screens to return the system to its
previous state with the software upgrade.
2. Backup your existing CSM database using the appropriate Admin Tool in the unlikely case that
you will need to go back to your original configuration. If you need further assistance, please
contact the McQuay Controls customer support group at 866-462-7829.
Note: The following document describes the steps required to upgrade existing CSM
software. Please note that these instructions are to be followed only if you
already have a CSM and are updating to a newer version of the software. If
you do not already have a CSM, contact your local McQuay sales
representative.
