Compatibility with AP10 and AP20
•
Can I use an AP30 Field Unit with my existing AP10 or AP20 Reference
Unit?
No. The methods of communication for the two systems are incompatible.
Contact EDM for information on upgrading your system.

•
Can I still purchase AP20 Field Units to operate with my AP20 Reference
Unit?
No. The AP10 and AP20 systems are obsolete, but both will continue to
be supported.
•
I have some extra AP20 Hotstick Units. Can I use them with the AP30?
Yes. The Hotstick Units for AP10, AP20 and AP30 are fully compatible.
Calibration is recommended when Hotstick Units are changed.

Our system uses the ACB sequence and we have been using the AP20 for
phase identification. The AP20 beeps once for phase A, twice for B, and
three times for C. How can I configure the AP30 for compatibility with the
AP20 on ACB systems.
Because of the AP20’s fixed display of “ABC”, compromises were neces-
sary to report phases for ACB systems. AP30 users may prefer to con-
figure the AP30 Field Unit to assign phase beeps and angles as the AP20
did. This is easily accomplished by setting the Sequence and Angles pref-
