Updating the iTracker
To update the iTracker with the SD Card you will need:
•
Power in the form of either a set of batteries, or power USB port (be sure to
remove batteries when using the USB).
•
USB cable with Micro A connector for the iTracker and what ever you powered
device requires.
•
An iTracker with firmware revision 4.1.3 or higher
•
An Updater Micro SD card.
Start the iTracker by inserting the batteries or plugging a USB cable into powered
USB source and the iTracker’s Micro USB connector. Connect to the iTracker with a
smart device over an ad hoc Wi-Fi connection. Use the address 10.10.10.1 in an
internet browser or one of our SewerWatch applications to go to Settings to verify
that the firmware version is 4.1.3 or higher. Although the update should not effect
the logs it is recommended that the any data needing to be preserved should be
downloaded at this time. Power the iTracker off and insert the SD Card. Be sure
that the card is seated. Apply power to the iTracker by inserting a fresh set of
batteries or from a USB source (never use both as it may damage the iTracker,
batteries, and or the connected device). Observe the flashing pattern of the LED
directly beneath the battery holder. As soon as the power is applied the LED should
com on solid for a few seconds. The LED should go out and then begin to blink
rapidly to indicate the firmware is being loaded. The blinking will give way to a solid
light for a moment as the Wi-Fi resets. The normal semi-rapid blink will indicate the
firmware has installed successfully and it is time to remove the batteries for the next
step. The next step will update the iTrackers SewerWatch software. After allowing
the iTracker to remain powered down for at least thirty-seconds power the iTracker
back up with the SD Card still inserted. As the iTracker restarts the LED will go
through a series of flashing with pauses in-between as it loads the new SewerWatch
programs. When the SewerWatch update is complete there will be two series of
three flashes with a pause and then it will return to the normal semi-rapid flash
indicating the Wi-Fi is back on. You should now be able to connect to the iTracker
as normal. Navigate to the Setting screen and you will see the previous setting have
been retained but the revisions for the firmware and software have been updated.
You can now remove the SD card from the slot.
