The current versions of PM5 Firmware are listed below. The version you need depends on which hardware version your PM5 runs. More info

Indoor rower version 30 and SkiErg version 730 and lower are for PM5 monitors that run hardware version lower than 600. Indoor rower version 154 or higher, and SkiErg version 854 or higher, are for PM5s that use hardware version 600 or higher. These monitors were put into circulation in December 2016.
