You need "VE Configuration tools for VE.Bus Products" that is available from the Victron Downloads page.

Be warned, you can damage your product should something go wrong, or if you dont read and follow the supplied instructions.

Thank you for answer, but I am already using the "configuration tools" It is when I connect using the tools that I get informed to upgrade firmware using VEFlash. How do I upgrade??

VEFlash update instructions.

Have a peek inside your multi. The lower chip sticker denotes 3 things.

The first 2 digits denotes processor/voltage output. 26 = large processor / 240vac output

The next 2 digits denotes model #. 12 - 1600 - 70

The last 3 digits denotes the firmware version at product manufacture.

Veflash will tell you the installed version, so it's easy to find the family it belongs to.
