Introduction
This manual describes the procedures for upgrading the software of the FH sensor controller with the
FH-UMAI.
Please perform the software version upgrade only after confirming the operating procedures and cau-
tions. After upgrading, if you want to return to the previous version, use the Version upgrade tool
(Ver.6.11 or higher) and install the applicable FH sensor controller software.
Precautions for Correct Use
• FH-UMAI can be used for version upgrade of one FH Sensor Controller.
• Keep the FH-UMAI device in a safe place as it will be needed when using again or repairing a
controller.
• Do not make any modifications to the files or file structure of the FH-UMAI. It may cause the
device to no longer function correctly.
