IR Head Bracket
IR HEAD BRACKET
To facilitate reading and programming multiple registers, the IR head bracket is recommended. The bracket is easy to attach
and remove, and allows hands-free alignment of the programming cable IR head with the register IR port.
Attaching the Bracket to a Register
1. Open the register lid.
2. With the bracket guide pointing to the register lid hinge, slide the bracket onto the register so the guide ts on both sides
of the register hinge (Figure 1).
Push gently to make sure the bracket guide is completely seated against the register hinge, and you can see the IR port
through the bracket opening as shown in Figure 2.
OTE:N Moving the encoder lid up and down while sliding the bracket on helps to move the bracket into the
correct position.
Figure 1: Slide bracket onto register
3. Place the optical head of the IR cable in the bracket with
the nubs on the back seated in the slots of the bracket. See
Figure 3.
This placement facilitates correct alignment between the
IR head and the register IR port. The register is ready for
programming.

Removing the Bracket from a Register
To remove the bracket, hold the register with one hand and pull the bracket gently with the other hand, straight off the
register. The bracket should pull off with little resistance.

Using the Programmer Software
USING THE PROGRAMMER SOFTWARE
Use the Programmer software to view and change the parameters that are currently programmed into the register, and
program new parameters, if needed. You can also clear the register reading.
OTE:N If you need help installing the software, see the instructions "Installing the Programmer Software" on page 20.
1. Connect the IR programming and data prole cable (IR cable) to the serial port of the computer with the installed
programming software.
If the computer does not have a serial port, use a Serial-to-USB adapter. See the "Parts List" on page 5.
OTE:N Connect the IR cable before you start the software to make sure the software recognizes the
IR cable connection.
1. Double-click the LCD Programmer shortcut (Figure 4) to
start the software application.
The License Agreement displays the rst time you access
the software.
Figure 4: Software shortcut
2. Read the License Agreement and click Accept License.
The License Agreement must be accepted by an
authorized representative of the customer/licensee. If
you select Decline License, the software application will
not start.
The splash (sign-in) screen displays (Figure 6).
The screen includes the software version number and
access to license and trademarks information.
3. Enter your initials in the UserID/Initials eld.
A user ID of 3…7 characters is required to activate the
OK button.
Then click OK.
Your sign-in initials are used in the product log file to
record any changes you make to the LCD register.
The software Programmer screen opens.

Using the Programmer Software
4. When the Programmer screen opens, select
the correct COM port for the IR cable using the IR
Port drop-down menu.
OTE:N If the correct COM port is not selected,
the software will be unable to read the
register. For help with the COM port,
see "COM Port" on page 22.
Figure 7: Select the COM port
Performing a Read
Align the IR head with the IR port of the register. Then click the Read button.
If the correct COM port is selected and a good response is received, the software determines the register type and populates
the Programmer screen data fields as shown in Figure 8. For more information, see"Register Types" on page 9.
If the register is programmed the way you want, remove the IR bracket. If not, see "Change Current Settings" on page 10.

Read Errors
If no COM port is selected, the error message in Figure 9 displays. Click OK, select the COM port, and click Read again.
Figure 9: No COM port selected
Figure 10: Wrong COM port selected
If the wrong COM port is selected, the error message in Figure 10 displays. Click Cancel, select the correct COM port, and click
Read again.
