Issue
There is a compatibility issue between Revision 2 MNL controllers and S-Link sensors. This incompatibility is noticed when a later production S-Link sensor is connected to an older Revision 2 controller. When the sensor is connected to the controller, 88.8 appears on the sensor’s display window along with all of the other LCD icons. The display never recovers from this mode, which makes the sensor non-functional.
Product Line
TAC IA Series
Environment
- MN-Sx sensors
- MNL-10Rx1 and MNL-20Rx1, where x denotes profile type (F, H, R)
- MNL-V1RV1, MNL-V2RV1, MNL-V3RV1
Cause
New MN-Sx production S-Link sensor firmware is not compatible with older Revision 2 MNL controllers.
Resolution
Newer model S-Link sensors have been released to address this issue. The new part numbers are MN-S1-2, MN-S2-2, MN-S3-2, MN-S4-2, and MN-S5-2. The MN-Sx-2 model line was designed and verified to work with older Revision 2 controllers. Reference TPA-RKFD-09-0028-00 for more details.
Please note that the new MN-Sx-2 S-Link sensors are only for use with older Revision 2 controllers.
