Positioning within the Chronos GE lineup:
| Chronos model | Heat rating | GE cross-reference | Systems |
|---|---|---|---|
| AU200 | 6.3 MHU | DA200/MX200 | LightSpeed, BrightSpeed, Discovery |
| AU200C40 | 6.3 MHU | — | Optima 660 |
| AU240 | 8.0 MHU | DA240/DX240, MX240 | LightSpeed Pro 16, VCT, Discovery, Reevo |
| DA135CT/e | 2.0 MHU | — | HiSpeed CT/e |

So the AU200 sits below the AU240 in heat capacity — it’s the match for GE’s older/mid-range LightSpeed and BrightSpeed platforms, while the AU240 is positioned for the higher-throughput LightSpeed Pro 16/VCT systems.
