Red Lion G315C question

[KNeland]

I was wondering if there are any limitations as far as running Crimson 3 on older units. I was looking at a G315C with a 2008 date code and somebody at our plant remarked that due to age it probably would only run Crimson 2. We have a newer G315C and it is the bees knees as far as we are concerned. We were thinking about snapping up the unit in question as a backup, as long as it is compatible with our C3 database.

Most of the older units will only run on Crimson 2

Do you have the full part number of the unit? I thought all the G315 could use C3. Don't you love that big screen!?!

Or even more specifically for the hardware, it looks like you need revision 2, not to be confused with Crimson version 2

From memory, the newer "compatible" units actually mave a little V2 or ver2 right next to the number. If it is from 2008 it is unlikely to be V2.
