1 ROCKSTARTER FIRMWARE UPDATE
1.1 Overview
The following list provides an outline of the steps involved in the Rockstarter firmware update procedure.
Select any item below to navigate to that step within this document.
1. Power on the Rockstarter

3. Identify Rockstarter serial number
4. Set laptop on same subnet as Rockstarter
5. Update Rockstarter firmware
6. Check the Rockstarter version
1.2 Update Procedure
1. Power on the Rockstarter
This can be achieved via two different methods:
i.
Apply system voltage to the Rockstarter as designed through the incoming power feed.
OR if Rockstarter cannot be powered via the incoming power feed:
ii.
Apply programming power through the I/O connector using the specified programming
cable.
NOTE
When using this I/O connector method:
1. This cable needs to be supplied by regulated 48VDC 1A.
2. Polarity is not important.
CAUTION!
When using this I/O connector method:
1. Do not attempt to close the contactor or shunt trip breaker as
power draw will exceed the available supply and cause a false
trip or potentially damage the Rockstarter’s internal wiring
harness.
2. Do not apply system power to the Rockstarter while powered
through the I/O connector.
3. The power supply through I/O connector should only be used for
firmware upgrades in the field.
