5 Right Click on GE Lighting Driver Programming Utility -> Uninstall Programmer External Interfaces It is recommended, but not required, that both the DALI BM RS232 and the 0-10V GE programmer are connected to the computer at the same time. This enables programming of all types of drivers. If only one type of LED driver (DALI, Combo or 0-10V) is to be programmed, then only the one, appropriate external interface should be connected. Note that the DALI-BM RS-232 and USB to RS-232 adaptor are purchased separately. The 0-10V GE programmer will be supplied with the GE programmable drivers. DALI-BM RS-232 The Tridonic programmer with USB to RS-232 adapter is the interface between the PC and the DALI/Combo LED driver. This programmer is used for DALI or DALI and 0-10V drivers Figure 2:1 Tridonic DALI-BM RS232 Art. No DALI BM RS-232 Kit: TRIDONIC.USA DALI BM RS-232 AC/DC Switching adaptor. Model No. GE12I18 Input: VAC, Hz, 0.4A Output: 18V RS-232 To RS-232 Cable. RS-232 to USB Adaptor. Please note that the USB to RS232 adapter don t comes with the TRIDONIC DALI-BM RS-232 and is purchased separately. More information regarding Tridonic DALI-BM RS232 Art. No can be found at: 5

6 GE Programmer 0-10V Interface The GE Programmer is the interface between the PC and the 0-10V LED driver. This programmer is used for 0-10V ONLY drivers. This will not program DALI and 0-10V (combination) drivers. Figure 2:2 - GE Programmer 0-10 [V] Interface 0-10[V] GE Programmer Kit: 0-10[V] GE Programmer I.T.E Power Supply.

7 GE Lighting Driver Programming Utility Setup Before using GE Lighting Driver Programming Utility, it advised to review the diagram below: Figure 3:1 - Connection Diagram Make sure that the LED driver is connected to the mains (AC input voltage) and that the DALI or 0-10V dimming wires are connected to the appropriate external interface. Verify that the external interfaces are connected to the mains and to the PC. Drivers output connection to load is not mandatory but recommended. Note: Combo driver is programmed only through the DALI leads. The 0-10[V] leads is only for 0-10[V] dimming control. Note: Only 0-10V only drivers can be programmed with the 0-10V Programming Interface Programming output current: 1. Change Password Setting Only authorized type of user can use this feature. This feature enables the access to many other features such as Minimum Level, Thermal Protection, Output Current & CLO. 7
