SUBJECT:

Software change - Omnex Transmitters are changing from 16-bit to 24-bit.

 

OVERVIEW:

The software on Omnex transmitters was updated October of 2014 from 16-bit to 24-bit. As a result of this change, existing 16-bit Omnex receivers will not communicate with the updated 24-bit transmitters.   Considering this, when a customer orders a replacement transmitter they will likely have to replace the receiver as well.  To help limit the confusion and cost of this process we have created kits that include a new 24-bit transmitter, a refurbished 24-bit receiver and a pre-paid return package for the removed 16-bit receiver.  For more details please refer to page 2.

               

**Note: 24-bit receivers will continue to communicate with 16-bit transmitters.  Therefore, if you have a 16-bit receiver that needs to be replaced, you can order a new 24-bit receiver and it will communicate with existing 16-bit transmitters.

 

Affected MODELS:

All cranes using Omnex FM receivers (See table 1 on page 2 for more information)
