Firmware Version V4.0.0 Now Available for ION9000, PM8000, and ION7400

[Sanjeet_Sahota]

We are excited to announce the launch of our new firmware for some of our Advanced Metering offers. 

Firmware version V4.0.0 is now available on se.com for the ION9000, ION7400, and PM8000.

Our latest release continues our efforts to secure our devices by introducing Secure ION.  This will now allow for encrypted communication between the device and our software offers over the ION protocol.  Standard ION protocol support remains available for those with legacy software systems.  Furthermore, we have added support for increased passwords lengths, moving from 6 alphanumeric characters maximum to now 16 alphanumeric characters.  Note that you will need to update your respective software to support these new features.

Secure ION, will be immediately supported by ION Setup in it’s latest version.  Shortly we will be adding support for Secure ION in Power Monitoring Expert (PME) with PME Cumulative Update 2022 and in the future with Power Operations as part of the Q1/Q2 – 2023 Release.

It is highly recommended that you upgrade your meter firmware to the latest version of firmware to benefit from increased robustness in your product.
