1. IntroductionThe EVERLINE Advanced Driver Programming system allows designers to customize LED Driverparameters with the EVERset graphical user interface and a compatible programming tool. Thissystem will set the driver’s minimum and maximum output currents, dimming curves, dimmingcontrol voltages, and to enable the dim to off command. Specific configurations can then be setand saved for production use. Programming capabilities will vary depending on the specificdriver family.The programming tool will also “read” and display values already programmed into a driver,including the driver’s part number.The programming of the LED driver is done with a programming tool connected to a computerwith a USB cable. The programming tool can be used to program compatible drivers via a wiredor wireless connection depending on the specific tool and driver.2. Computer System RequirementsThe minimum PC requirements for the EVERset software are: 512MB RAM1 USB Port (v2.0)Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7/8/10FTDI driversHardware Requirements Handheld Programming Toolo LDPC000A Programming Tool for wired or wireless interfaceso LDPCEL0A Programming Tool for RS-232 interfacesEVERset Programming SoftwarePrinter (Optional)www.unvlt.com2 Page
3. DefinitionsThe programming tool is for use in setting the output parameters of compatible constant currentdrivers. The controlled settings and their definitions are listed below:System DefinitionsEVERset Programming SoftwareGraphical User Interface (GUI) loaded onto a computer for establishing programmed settingsfor compatible Everline drivers.LDPC000A Programming ToolHandheld programming tool connected to a computer via USB that is used to program selectLED drivers via a wired or wireless (RFID) interfaceLDPCEL0A Programming ToolHandheld programming tool connected to a computer via USB that is used to program selectLED drivers via a RS-232 interfaceUserManagement SoftwareThis program (installed along with EVERset) is used to set up new users with passwords andaccess level permission capabilities on a computer. Production mode settings are alsoestablished with this program.Setting DefinitionsOutput CurrentThis is the driver’s output current when the dimming control is set at full output or when thedriver is not connected to a dimming control.Minimum Dim Current:This is the driver’s output current when connected to a control set to the minimum dimmingcontrol voltage.Dimming Curve:The 0-10V dimming curve can be set to Linear, Soft Start or Logarithmic. The curves aredisplayed with an accompanying graph in EVERset.Full Bright Control VoltageThis is the minimum voltage on the 0-10V control range that will provide maximum outputcurrent. This is commonly set around 8V to allow for variances in dimming controls.Full Dim Control Voltage:This is the maximum voltage on the 0-10V control range that will provide the minimumoutput current. This is typically set around 1V to allow for variances in dimming controlsDim-to-off:This is the functionality that turns off the output current while the driver still has powerconnected to it.Dim-to-Off Control Voltage:This is the control voltage where the driver will go in the off mode. Any voltage below thiswill also result in the off mode.www.unvlt.com3 Page
Lumen MaintenanceThis feature increases the output current of the driver over time to compensate for thelumen depreciation of the LED module. Initial and final drive currents along with thecompensation period are adjustable.RFIDRadio Frequency Identification for wireless programming of a driver. This uses near fieldcommunication (NFC) between the driver and the configuration tool for programming valuesinto the driver.MDCMulti-Driver Configuration for programming or reading a compatible driver with leadsconnected to the LDPC000A programming tool. This can be used with specific drivers thatare compatible with EVERset but do not have wireless programming capabilities.ProductsProducts shown in this list use the EVERset software for programming. Additional productswill continue to be added through updates.ProfilesThe saved set of all values for a specific driver setting. These can be recalled forprogramming.www.unvlt.com4 Page
4. Getting Started/Setup Programming Software The Complete EVERset Program is installed with the setup file name EVERset x.x.x.exe(x values will change with revision updates). This file may require administrator access on a computer for installation of: EVERset ProgramThe EVERset program is used for all programming applications fromcreating driver configurations, saving driver profiles, to productionprogramming. UserManagementThe UserManagement program is used to manage and create user names,passwords, and to set the access levels of production, engineering andadministration. For more detailed information refer to section 13 UserManagement Setup.Note: Administration password will be provided separately Program Data File Location A program data file will be installed in the folder C:\ProgramData\ULT thatcontains: Saved Program Configuration Profile files in ProfileLists Help information Driver database configuration files Programming Hardware Programming Tool: P/N LDPC000A Connect the programing tool to a USB port on the computer for programming.

5. Programming Interfaces: RFID, Wired and ESIWithin the Products menu bar as indicated above there is the option to Read and Program in eitherthe RFID, Wired or ESI mode.RFID uses near field communication to perform these functions using the LDPC000A programmingtool and driver antenna. RFID programming programs one driver at a time. When EVERset is in RFIDread mode, the LDPC000A programming tool will be continuously looking for an RFID tag to read.Wired uses leads connected directly to the driver from the LDPC000A programming tool andcommunicates via MDC (Multi-Driver Configuration) for programming. The leads are connectedbetween the configuration tool and the dimming control leads of the driver. When EVERset is in theWired read mode, the black button on the LDPC000A programming tool must be pressed to readthe driver that is connected to the tool. Each time a new driver is connected, the black button mustbe pressed on the LDPC000A to read the driver.Two harnesses with leads for programming are provided with the configuration tool and plug into asocket adjacent to the USB cable. One harness has fast connectors (as shown in the picture)designed to program drivers with leads. The other harness has pin terminals and is designed for usewith drivers that have terminal blocks.Wired programming can program four drivers simultaneously under the following conditions: Four of the same models drivers with the same profile.Three different model drivers with two of the same drivers having the same profile.Only one profile per driver per model, different profiles of the same model cannot beprogrammed simultaneously.www.unvlt.com7 Page
ESI programming uses the LDPCEL0A programming tool which has a male RJ-45 connector thatconnects directly to the female RJ-45 adapter on a compatible driver.When EVERset is in the ESI read mode the black ‘Read’ button at the top of the screen must beclicked to read the driver connected to the LDPCEL0A programming tool. Each time a new driver isconnected, the ‘Read’ button must be clicked to read the driver.www.unvlt.com8 Page
