RoHS & Non-RoHS APB and NXE Files
In July of 2006, new APB and NXE files where introduced to support new RoHS compliant components from Echelon
Corporation.
Those APB and NXE software revisions are not backward compatible
and some care and attention
must be taken to assure you are utilizing the correct revision during the commissioning procedure. Please note that the
thermostats already have the proper file flashed from the factory.
In order to differentiate non-RoHS and RoHS software, a new PID has been issued for each new RoHS software as
shown in Figure 5.
Your LNS systems already have a built in protection against firmware mismatch and will refuse any upload from non-
RoHS software to a RoHS device or vice-versa. The PID change has been instituted in order to prompt an
“incompatibility” message from your Niagara based system.

Please note that all new PIR ready thermostat series of the VT7200 / VT7300 thermostat family will use the latest
released files to properly use all the new advanced occupancy functions associated with a local PIR accessory cover
installed on the thermostat.
