KMC Connect Lite saves time and money by providing fast in the office or in the field configuration of unopened and un-powered KMC Conquest controllers using NFC (Near Field Communication) technology. Currently, Apple’s NFC is not supported by KMC Connect Lite. Although NFC device communication capability is required for programming devices, a BLE to NFC fob from KMC Controls can be used with supported Apple devices. With KMC Connect Lite, you can: • Read, modify, and write data directly from and to an un-powered KMC Conquest controller still in the box it was shipped in. • View previously read device information/history. • Read/write history stored on the mobile device. • Store critical application data on a mobile device for offline retrieval at a project site. • Create templates for specific application deployment. Notes: • A license is required to run this app. Please contact your KMC Controls dealer for more information. • If your device does not have NFC or is not supported, you may use a Bluetooth to NFC fob. Contact KMC Controls customer service for more details.
