1.1 System Information
When installing the new computer and display, Greer Company recommends the exisiting rectangular
shaped reeling drum be replaced with our current production reeling drum, A240690. The rectangular
shaped reeling drum is obsolete. There is no longer field support for this product.
Installing the new reeling drum will ensure field support and parts support in the future. The A240690
reeling drum is equipped with mounting brackets and electrical fittings to be a direct replacement.
The new computer uses Flash RAM technology for loading the Duty Files. If known at the time of
purchase, the proper Duty File will be loaded on your computer before being shipped.
Kit K758743 is available for preparing the new flash-style computer for use. The kit contains a
programming cable, a CD with the necessary software, and a PDF copy of the instruction manual to
allow the installer to load the correct Duty File on the computer.
