Conversions are bi-directional.

The AIS Life Guard is the world’s first Man Overboard AIS alarm designed to work with the AIS SARTs & MOBs. Operation is automatic. Simply connect the two wire NMEA input on the AIS Life Guard to the NMEA output of the AIT5000 and it will listen to all AIS traffic. Upon detecting an AIS SART or MOB transmission (message 1 and message 14), the AIS Life Guard will sound its internal 95dB alarm and display a red warning light.
