Update     | Comments     |
DC R-term input allowed     | The R-terminal input that signifies that the Engine Running state can now be a DC signal (an alternating square wave had previously been required). This increases flexibility for retrofitting competitive machines where alternating current is not available. Certain Caterpillar machines also provide a DC signal for Engine Running.     |
Primary Wireless Type     | When using ET 2002B, the Primary Wireless Type descriptions will now be Satellite Basic for a PL-151 and Satellite Premium for a PL-201. Previous versions of ET will still show Opt. #4 See Service Manual and Orbcomm for PL-151 and PL-201 respectively.     |
