1Add 53131-00009; 4: 1; GROUND CONNECTION 28480; 53131-00009

Change A4 (Standard) HP Part Number from 0950-2496 to 0950-2139.

Note: A4 AC Power Supply Assembly 0950-2496 allows 400 Hz operation from 100-120V.

1These shields were needed to reduce susceptibility to EMI. However, the shields are not needed on A1 Motherboard Assembly if the metalized front bezel is used in the Counter. Thus, when you order a new

A1 Motherboard Assembly (53131-60001, same part number as the old A1) for your HP 53131A Counter, you need to order a new metalized front bezel (53131-40003, same part number of the old non-metalized front bezel).
