ADDENDUM 1
Radio system component compatibility
Complete MP14 and MP16 probe systems may be exchanged with
complete MP18 and MP18-S probe systems.
Component compatibility
NOT ALL MP18 components are compatible with components used
with the earlier MP14 radio transmission system.
Components with identical model name/number are interchangeable
between systems.
Earlier MP14 systems incorporating an RMP, RMM and the MI14 interface
DO NOT function with current systems using the RMP2
(used with MP16), RMP3 (used with MP18), RMM2, MI16 interface
and the OM16 optical module.
Probe/RMP2/RMP3
The RMP2 and RMP3 will communicate with the RMM and RMM2,
provided they are set to operate on the same channel.
The MP18 probe is smaller and lighter than the MP14 and MP16 probes.
RMM and RMM2 antenna
Both antenna use the same base. The RMM2 antenna is shorter than
the RMM antenna.
Interface unit
The MI14 interface has been replaced by the MI16 interface, both
units are the same size. All electrical outputs and inputs to the MI16 Interface
remain unchanged from the MI14 Interface.
(Note that a 16 pin plug is required for connection to the MI16 Interface rather
than the 14 pin connector used on the MI14 Interface. The two extra contacts
allow connection to the OM16 Optical Module).
