SERIAL NUMBER OF THE INSTRUMENT
You can find the serial number on the side of the metal bracket located under the
baseplate, on the side of the Power pack and on the side of the Solar panels.
Serial number is in the form: 000XY00000.
The first three digits and the two letters are the Serial Number prefix, the last five
digits are the Serial Number suffix. The prefix is the same for identical instruments, it
changes only when a configuration change is made to the instrument.
The suffix is different for each instrument.
