and Flow™

INTRODUCTION

For a PG7000 Platform to run ver. 2.02 or higher software, it must be equipped with flash memory, a set of larger
NVRAMs (128K) and jumpers must be installed and the BIOS EPROM must be replaced. Two different upgrade kits
corresponding to two PG7000 Platform hardware situations are available: Upgrade A, P/N 401592 is for PG7000s
that already have flash memory; Upgrade B, P/N 401593 is for PG7000s that do not have flash memory.
•
A limited number of PG7000s were delivered between February and July 1999 with ver. 2.00 software. These require Upgrade A
but without the new PG Terminal, use P/N 401594. Refer to the UPGRADING PG7000 PISTON GAUGES FROM ver. 1.0x TO ver.
2.0x commercial document for additional upgrade information.
UPGRADE KIT A, P/N 401592: FLASH WITH EEPROM TO FLASH WITHOUT EEPROM
•
If the PG7000 already has ver. 2.00 or 2.01 software, it has a new PG TERMINAL. Use P/N 401594 to upgrade. It does not
include the terminal.
