This update requires the replacement of an eprom and it is recommended this be performed only by a qualified, technically proficient individual with experience removing and installing programmable devices. The new eprom should integrate seamlessly into all standard TCW-50's regardless of age or current firmware version. The cost of the new eprom is $40. Contact Horita to inquire about volume pricing.
Units can also be returned to Horita to be updated for an additional cost of $35 each. Please contact Horita, either by phone or email, to obtain a return authorization (RA) number before sending your TCW-50 in for service.
