Overview
Firmware compatibility, LED interpretation, and troubleshooting paths frequently depend on model and hardware revision. Capture both before any firmware change or support escalation.
Read the product label
The label encodes a structured serial:
- MMMMMM — Model Number
- RR — Model Revision Number
- WW — Week Produced
- YY — Year Produced
- XXXX — Sequential Serial Number
- A Data Matrix code on the label encodes MMMMMM + RR + WW + YY + XXXX in one scan.
Identify in Navigator Mobile
With the device connected to Navigator Mobile, open the Tools tab and look at the Devices section. The device type (for example "Compass Pro 50 Hz") and hardware version (for example "v5") are shown there.
What to collect for support
- Photograph or transcribe the device label in good lighting.
- Record model family: Compass Core, Compass Pro, or Compass Pro IS.
- Record the serial and the hardware revision shown in the app (V4 or V5+).
- From Navigator Mobile when paired, capture the firmware version and any diagnostics screens your build exposes.
- From Navigator Console (Admin), capture inventory fields if your org tracks units centrally.
