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 both R3 and VC marking are compatible with the Dynamic Vapor
Compensation function. See
Appendix C: Advanced Configuration
Dynamic Vapor Compensation function is supported by the transmitter head.
