CHANGING A PROBE
Probe and Firmware
Compatibility
Transmitter heads with a firmware version earlier than 1.A4 (manufacturing
date before 2008-06-18) are not compatible with HP/HTHP/C probes marked
with R2.
Transmitter heads with a firmware version 1.A4 or later are compatible with
HP/HTHP probes without the R2 marking when the Trim Near Zone function
is performed, as illustrated below.
Only probes with the VC marking are compatible with the Dynamic Vapor
Compensation function. See Appendix C: Advanced Configuration to
determine if the Dynamic Vapor Compensation function is supported by the
transmitter head.
