Dranetz-BMI - The Year 2000 Recommendations for the 8000-2

The 8000 and 8000-2 (Firmware Versions: ACP - 2.4, IOP - 3.0, CPU - 3.3)are not Year 2000 compliant. Several tests have been performed to evaluate the impact this will have. This product is obsolete, so Dranetz-BMI will not be issuing an upgrade.

Dranetz-BMI has developed a list with recommendations for work-arounds.

8000 and 8000-2
Status Recommendations
Unit does not roll over to the year 2000 accurately. It displays an ambiguous date that will not calculate or record properly. No further testing could be performed. Set the unit date back to 1980, the unit will continue to function properly with the exception that it will be in a 1980 time frame.
