Using EST to flash a PowerWizard control.

It is recommended to use the latest version of the service tool. While any version
from 2004A onwards should work, it is easier to follow screen shots and menu
navigation if the latest version is used.
1. Open EST Winflash (This should be a separate option to “Electronic Service
Tool” from within the EST sub menu of Windows or it can be accessed from the
Service Tool menu by selecting “Utilities” -> “Winflash”
2. Ensure that the service tool is using RP1210 (under “Utilities” -> “preferences” ->
“communications””)
3. Ensure that the communications adapter is connected to the correct port of the
PC.
4. You should have a screen similar to:

Press “Browse” and select the desired flash file


5. Press “Begin Flash”
6. When you see:

You’re finished.
All the (old) setpoints are preserved when the PowerWizard control is re-flashed.
Possible EST error messages, their cause and suggested action
“The communication adapter was unable to connect to the J1939 data link.”
Cause: EST was unable to see the Communication adaptor on the port it is expecting
it to be connected to.
 Ensure that Communication adapter is connected to the PowerWizard panel and
has power.
 Ensure that the communication adapter is connected to the PC
 Ensure that the settings on the service tool are set for the correct port.
 Ensure that the communication adapter is using RP1210 (under utilities ->
preferences -> communications)

“No ECMs detected”


Cause: EST was unable to detect any PowerWizard modules on the J1939 network.
 Ensure the PowerWizard module is powered up and is not in Reduced Power
Mode.
 Check the J1939 wiring between the PowerWizard and the communications
adapter, particularly the termination resistor(s).

“The ECM software file and the ECM are not compatible. Process aborted. -
Error Code: 163840”
Cause: The flash file is not compatible with the PowerWizard. This is usually seen
when trying to flash a PowerWizard 1.0 with a PowerWizard 2.0 flash file (or vice
versa).
 Use a flash file that is compatible with the level of PowerWizard control you are
trying to flash.

“No flash file selected for the ECM.”


Cause: This rather misleading error message is also seen when trying to use a flash
file that is not suitable for any level of PowerWizard control.
 Use a flash file that is compatible with the level of PowerWizard control you are
trying to flash.
