OverWatch - Software - Hybrid Overwatch ECU Module

Notes
Some Overwatch Kits contain a Hybrid ECU module and prior to Version 9 were NOT compatible with standard 6253 Overwatch software

The Skyjack SJ12/16/20 - E series, some LGMG EWP machines, some Haulotte EWP machines are equipped with an Overwatch Hybrid system and therefore previously used the hybrid release software. These hybrid modules were previously NOT compatible with standard Overwatch software.  Hybrid modules can be identified by looking at the serial number sequence. If the EQSS serial number starts with 6253 (6253E-xxxx-xxxx) then this is not a hybrid ECU, but is a normal Overwatch system ECU. If the ECU module starts with a A2039 (A2039-xxxx-xxxx) then this is a hybrid ECU module.

Overwatch Version 9 software will install on both normal 6253 and hybrid A2039 ECU modules, but previous Overwatch Versions of software will not.

From a user perspective, the Overwatch hybrid system presents itself exactly the same as the standard 6253 Overwatch. Therefore, the Overwatch published user manual on our website is completely valid also for both the normal the hybrid version ECU modules. Software versions prior to Version 9 is where they differed from each other and this is due to how they are electronically configured internally.


Please remember that when you update software to Version 9, you will still need to complete the configuration selection (select the model from the drop down list) and then you will need to complete the Overwatch Installation test.
