Technically, this unit converts signals from virtual COM ports on a computer (through a USB-serial adapter built into PRU-50) into infrared light which is used to communicate with EPIRBs or programmable lights. This means that software only supporting legacy Serial ports on computers also will function with this programmer.

June 2022 – New version of our EPIRB Programming software, TronLink EPIRB v 5.0.1 which is capable of programming all the new AIS-EPIRBs in addition to our previous EPIRBs. To be able to download this version, you need to have purchased/completed our Online Learning course 200017.
