1.6 Part Number Scheme

As of January, 2011 the RC4000 part numbering scheme consisted of 20 digits. This scheme is
introduced here as a way to highlight many of the options (both hardware and software) associated with
customizing an ACU solution using the RC4000. The following table only briefly discusses each item
within the PN scheme and provides an initial reference to applicable sections within the manual.
