Firmware version V2.00.005 corrects this bug.
V10.08 Compatt 5 Firmware Upgrade - No: 09-001 - TB09_001C5FWIssue10_08.pdf (65K)	Following the release of Compatt 5 firmware V10.08, two problems have been brought to light when installing the upgrade into older Compatt units.
Setting a SIU or SCU to Match HF USBL Scout Transceiver Auxiliary Port Serial Interface Protocol (RS232 or RS485) - No: 08-006 - 08-006.pdf (34K)	Customer driven requests to use long cabling with the Scout transceiver has resulted in a requirement for RS485 comms protocol instead of RS232. The result of this change is that the surface interface units require reconfiguring when swapping between old and new transceivers. 8024 Transceivers built from Jan 2008 onwards are marked with a label denoting the comms protocol. Transceivers older than this date will be RS232 comms
Marksman/Ranger 2 V3.01 CASIUS Processing Error - No:TB12-001	Marksman/Ranger 2 pitch/roll/heading measurements imported into CASIUS have an offset. When a .CAS file is saved by CASIUS, the resulting file contains the wrong pitch/roll/heading measurements. A fixed angular offset is added to the transceiver pitch/roll/heading corrections, leading to a shift in beacon positions, depending on water depth. A spin test would reveal the offset.

Setting a SIU or SCU to Match HF USBL Scout Transceiver Auxiliary Port Serial Interface Protocol (RS232 or RS485) - No: 08-006

Customer driven requests to use long cabling with the Scout transceiver has resulted in a requirement for RS485 comms protocol instead of RS232. The result of this change is that the surface interface units require reconfiguring when swapping between old and new transceivers. 8024 Transceivers built from Jan 2008 onwards are marked with a label denoting the comms protocol. Transceivers older than this date will be RS232 comms.

Changes To The Depth Rating of Type 8070 Wideband Sub-Minis - No: 09-002.pdf	Announment that all Type 8070 Wideband Sub-Mins have been re-classified from a 3,000 metre depth rating to 4,000 metre depth rating.
WSM Chargers - No: 08-007_02.pdf	Due to batch tolerances, it has been found that the voltage output by a WSM charger at the end of the charge process (when the current drops to a trickle charge), can rise to 30 V or even higher. This high voltage has caused some failures to occur in transponders when they transmit an acoustic pulse.
Wideband Sub-Mini Spring Loaded Vent - No: 08-004.pdf	To reduce the risk of deploying Wideband Sub-Mini beacons without fully closing the pressure relief valve a sprung loaded pressure relief valve has been introduced. The new pressure relief valve has been incorporated in all new units effective from 25th February 2008. The new pressure relief valve is gold in colour (original valves are red) and is designed to fit flush with the switch end cap name plate when closed.
