International shipping options - We prefer to ship international orders by United Parcel Service (UPS) Air Express or Air Expedited although other carriers are available. UPS provides customs brokerage as part of their delivery service. If you prefer a lower cost option, we can also ship via Express Mail. This service provides the most rapid delivery for the lowest cost. Express Mail service is available in most countries with a typical shipping cost between $30 and $40. We can also ship via most other carriers including Federal Express and DHL.

Normal delivery time for international shipments is 3 to 7 business days for items purchased from stock.

EPROM+ programming unit power requirements - The programming unit may be powered from any 12 volt AC (+/- 10%), 1 Amp, 50/60 Hz source. The programming system is normally shipped with the US domestic (120 volt 60 Hz) power pack, however, at your request, we will omit the power pack and replace it with a cable with the 3.5mm plug for the programming unit. With this cable you may connect your own 12 volt AC source. Since the connector on the programming unit is a standard 3.5mm jack, you may easily obtain a power pack which has the physical and electrical characteristics required by the programming unit and mates to the power mains used in your country.
Note 1: The BIOS BACKUP and REPAIR KIT and the EPROM FIELD KIT are based on the EPROM+ programming unit assembly and have the same power requirements.
Note 2: The EPROM FIELD KIT includes a UV EPROM ERASER which is powered by a cable which attaches to the accessory connector on the programming unit. The eraser will function properly as long as the programming unit is powered by the specified input voltage. This allows international customers to operate both the programming unit the eraser from a single power source.
Note 3: 12 VOLT DC operation. The programming unit may also be powered from 12 volts DC at 1 amp with the following restriction. The instrument will not generate the high voltage necessary to program UV eproms (27 series devices). The high voltage is generated using a voltage multiplier which requires AC to function. If the devices with which you are working are newer technology which operate from 5 volts or less, you may power the instrument from a 12 volt DC source. The power plug tip is positive (+), however incorrect polarity will not damage the unit.

EPROM+ programming unit physical characteristics - The programming unit weighs approximately 3 pounds including the power pack and printer port cable. The physical dimensions are 9 inches (length) by 6 inches (width) by 3 inches (height). The physical dimensions for the EPROM FIELD KIT are 9 inches (length) by 6 inches (width) by 3.5 inches (height). Weight is 4 pounds.
