1 Introduction

EX Series Variations and nomenclature
During the History of the EX Series (Now Version 3), it has also been spelt as EX series
(version 2 models), and the earliest version 1 models were known as X series. This Manual
describes the Latest Product.
All versions are compatible and able to be on the same communications line.
Software also referred to is EXgarde, which used to be called EXgarde (version 1and 2).
Both software versions are compatible with all EX series products but as more features
are added then EX series firmware is required to be kept up to date for full compatibility
with later software versions
