UPDATE 5-3-12

Pm's have been sent to all. Please respond to jeff@howertonengineering.com. All signed up are locked in but for anyone else, the program will close EOB on the 10th of this month.


We are pleased to offer an upgrade program for the HFS-3 system up to HFS-4. The HFS-3 and 4 share the same hardware, so the system can be upgraded by changing the controller. This controller upgrade will be on an exchange basis only, meaning you must send in your HFS-3 controller to receive an HFS-4. The cost to obtain this upgrade varies depending upon when the system was purchased.
Below you will find the cost guidelines and serial number cutoffs. If your system falls in a group by SN that differs from the purchase date, a copy of the invoice will be needed to grant a change in pricing classifications.
The upgrade will occur during the month of May. We will ship in the order of the signup. At the end of May upgrades will no longer be done.

Please put your name (or screen name) and SN in your post to signup. We will update this post with the list and other important updates.

If you have any questions please contact jeff@howertonengineering.com

Will the gauge have to be upgraded as well?

No, while the V10 thru V12 gauges have some slightly different features, they are all interchangeable in the HFS-3/4 systems.

Jeff,

I'm ready to ship my unit to you. Is it $50 + $12 for shipping?

The upgrade program is slated to start May 1st. You can run the current controller until the upgrade begins.

Can you give us a heads on how this is going to work?

Can we do it so we just pay a higher price to get the 4 sent to us then we send back the 3 and get a refund of the difference???= no down time
Like a core charge

Last Call.

We will be receiving a batch of HFS-4 boards next week for the upgrade program to begin. Once we begin shipping, there will be one week to get your name in on the upgrade then it's closed. We may not have everything shipped in that week, but we will cease to take new names.

I will make one final post when the shipping begins with the cutoff date.

As for those than are signed up. I will send a PM when we have the boards in hand, or you can send me an email with HFS-4 Upgrade in the title and we can get the payment and shipping arrangements setup.
