How to view and update firmware information
Environment
This article applies to the Field Pro app used with newer model generators equipped with the PowerZone 200 controller.
Once a generator has been set up in the Field Pro app, you can view firmware version information by following these steps:
- Connect to the Generator via Bluetooth in Field Pro.
- Tap Hardware / firmware versions to view version information for the Controller, ECU, and Connectivity Accessory.
How firmware is updated
Firmware updates are primarily managed by Generac's FOTA (Firmware Over The Air) system (automatically) whenever the Connectivity Accessory is connected via cellular or Wi-Fi.
Alternatively, Field Pro will prompt you to update to the latest required firmware versions upon connecting to the Generator via Bluetooth.
For "Offline" scenarios where the Connectivity Accessory cannot connect to a network via cellular or Wi-Fi and reception is not available for use with Field Pro; follow the guided Prepare for a future visit workflow from the Let's get started page in Field Pro to update firmware versions.
