| 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. |
