NFC PROGRAMMER INSTRUCTION MANUAL (Continued)
blue “

” and “

” buttons to change the setting.
To change the driver type, highlight the first parameter,
press the green “OK” button, and then simply navigate
up or down until you find the correct driver model
number. To exit this parameter setting, simply press
the red “Back” button.
#2 – Current Setting:
Following the same procedure, press the blue“
▼
”
button to navigate down to the third parameter,
which determines the output current setting.
Once highlighted in red, press the green “OK” button.
From here, you can use the blue “
◀
” and “
▶
” buttons
to change individual values for the current setting.
Moving left and right will highlight the individual values
in red. For example, you can shift all the way to the left
to change the setting by only 1 mA. You can move to the
tens place to change the setting by multiples of 10 mA,
the hundreds to change by 100 mA, and so on. Depending
on the driver model, you will only be able to program the
driver to a current setting that falls between its min and
max output settings. Therefore, if the driver has a max
output of 700 mA and if you try to program it any higher
than this, the programmer will automatically default
to 700 mA. The same is true if you try to program
the driver a setting lower than its minimum output.
The programmer will simply default to its lowest
setting for that driver model. Once your desired current
setting is correct, press the green “OK” button to
confirm the setting and also exit the current setting
parameter, simultaneously.
Once all the settings are correct, press the red “Back”
button to return to the default programming screen.
From here, if you press the green “OK” button, the
programmer will “BEEP” 3 times and you should
see a red “FAIL” message on the bottom of the screen.
This means that the programmer couldn’t detect
or program the NFC chip successfully. Look for the
ACELEDs logo, which is placed directly above the NFC
chip of the driver and should be in the bottom right hand
corner. Place the top part of the programmer against
the label, and press the green “OK” button. If the driver
is programmed correctly, the device will “BEEP” once
and you will see a red “PASS” message on the bottom.
The driver will then be programmed to the newest
settings. To read the driver, place the programmer
above the ACELEDs logo, and press the blue “

“ on the
default programming screen and the programmer will
display all of the currently programmed settings.
STEP 3:
Programming / Reading the Driver
The NFC Programmer requires 5V DC power source to
turn on. Simply connect the programmer into any USB
power receptacle, and it will turn on immediately after.
During and after start-up, the 2 following screens should
appear:
Pressing the red “Back” button will bring you to a new
screen, which is the configuration screen.
The second screen will show all of the parameters and
settings, as well as which driver model the programmer
is set to program.
From here, you can navigate using the blue “
▲
” and “
▼
”
buttons which will allow you see all of the available settings.
Although there are a total of 10 parameters available, for
the sake of simplicity, we will only focus on parameters
#1 and #3, which are the only parameters necessary for
programming a constant current LED driver with this
programmer.
#1 – Driver Type:
The selected setting will be highlighted in red. To change it,
press the green “OK” button. From here, you can use the
