Programming the EPIRB
It is recommended that the latest programming utility, EPROG5 – McMurdo part number
82-951A (McM branded) must be used with the USB pen 82-950A. A personal computer
(PC) with the Windows XP/2000 operating system or later is required.
The EPROG5 software includes a disk-based handbook giving full instructions for the
process. These instructions are not repeated here. Service agents are expected to have
a programming kit.
IMPORTANT
The following things must be done when an EPIRB is re-programmed:
1. Verify correct programming using a message reader. See section 3.3.
2. Print a new registration form (at the PC) and pass it to the EPIRB owner.
3. If applicable, fit new identity labels to the EPIRB and its enclosure. Remember to
transfer the HRU expiry date.
