uPowerTek Released IP20 APD Series NFC Programmable D4i LED Driver

Today uPowerTek released new generation APD series 40W to 200W NFC programmable D4i LED driver. The new products meet the latest D4i standard. NFC programming function is also available on this new series, and users could program the output current plus other functions by NFC programmer or smartphone with NFC communication. It has compact casing and IP20 waterproof level, which can be built inside the lighting fixture.

D4i Certified

The APD series D4i LED drivers also certified with D4i standard on DiiA, all the models are listed on DiiA website. DALI parts 150 (24V auxiliary power) is also included in the certification.

D4i Application

D4i is the new DiiA specifications that build on DALI-2, enables DALI in the IoT era, and its power supply specifications focus mainly on intra-luminaire DALI.

NFC Programming

NFC (Near Field Communication) is now frequently involved in everybody’s digital life, such as transportation, security, payment, cellphone data exchange and tags. It is a kind of short-range wireless communication technology firstly developed by Sony and NXP. Then TI and ST made more choices to make NFC more widely adopted and cheaper in consumer electronics. Now it is also applied to outdoor programming LED drivers, the user experience is friendly because it doesn’t require wiring when programming. Users could adjust the output current, setting CLO and NTC thermal feedback by NFC smartphone or NFC programmer.

D4i Plus 0-10V Combo

Besides D4i dimming, the new APD series also supports 0-10V dimming at the same time, which can help users to reduce SKU and save cost.
