according to EN 61347-1 with increased temperature of 850 °C passed.

Thermal details and lifetime

The LED drivers are designed for a lifetime stated above under reference conditions and with a failure probability of less than 10 %.

The relation of tc to ta temperature depends also on the luminaire design.

If the measured tc temperature is approx. 5 K below tc max., ta temperature should be checked and eventually critical components (e.g. ELCAP) measured. Detailed information on request.

87500630 Wiring type and cross section

For wiring use stranded wire with ferrules or solid wire from 0.5 – 1.5 mm².
Strip 8.5 – 9.5 mm of insulation from the cables to ensure perfect operation of the push-wire terminals.

87500630 Wiring guidelines

• All connections must be kept as short as possible to ensure good EMI behaviour.
• Mains leads should be kept apart from LED driver and other lead (ideally 5 – 10 cm distance)
• Max. length of output wires is 2 m.
• Secondary switching is not permitted.
• Incorrect wiring can demage LED modules.
• To avoid the damage of the Driver, the wiring must be protected against short circuits to earth (sharp edged metal parts, metal cable clips, louver, etc.).

Replace LED module

1. Mains off
2. Remove LED module
3. Wait for 20 seconds
4. Connect LED module again

Hot plug-in or secondary switching of LEDs is not permitted and may cause a very high current to the LEDs.

Installation instructions

The LED module and all contact points within the wiring must be sufficiently insulated against 3 kV surge voltage. Air and creepage distance must be maintained.

Mounting of device

Max. torque for fixing: 0.5 Nm/M4

Short-circuit behaviour

In case of a short circuit on the secondary side (LED) the LED driver switches into hic-cup mode. After elimination of the short-circuit fault the LED driver will recover automatically.

No-load operation

The LED driver works in burst working mode to provide a constant output voltage regulation which allows the application to be able to work safely when LED string opens due to a failure.

Overload protection

If the maximum load is exceeded by a defined internal limit, the LED driver will protect itself and LED may flicker. After elimination of the overload, the nominal operation is restored automatically.

Miscellaneous

Insulation and electric strength testing of luminaires

Electronic devices can be damaged by high voltage. This has to be considered during the routine testing of the luminaires in production.

According to IEC 60598-1 Annex Q (informative only!) or ENEC 303-Annex A, each luminaire should be submitted to an insulation test with 500V DC for 1 second. This test voltage should be connected between the interconnected phase and neutral terminals and the earth terminal.

The insulation resistance must be at least 2MΩ. As an alternative, IEC 60598-1 Annex Q describes a test of the electrical strength with 1500V AC (or 1.414 x 1500V DC). To avoid damage to the electronic devices this test must not be conducted.

Conditions of use and storage

Humidity: 5 % up to max. 85 %, not condensed
(max. 56 days/year at 85 %)

Storage temperature: -40 °C up to max. +80 °C

The devices have to be within the specified temperature range (ta) before they can be operated.

The LED driver is declared as inbuilt LED controlgear, meaning it is intended to be used within a luminaire enclosure.

If the product is used outside a luminaire, the installation must provide suitable protection for people and environment (e.g. in illuminated ceilings).

Maximum number of switching cycles

All LED driver are tested with 50,000 switching cycles.

Compact constant current LED drivers provide a stable, fixed current (typically 350mA–1050mA) to LEDs in series, ensuring consistent brightness and long lifespans for small-scale, high-power, or tight-space applications. These compact, often IP-rated, drivers vary voltage to prevent thermal runaway and are ideal for downlights, spotlights, and cabinet lighting.

Key Features and Benefits

Application: Ideal for high-power LED arrays, downlights, and linear lighting where consistent light output is required.

Compact Design: Designed for space-constrained environments, with some models offering small footprints, such as 38x30x23.5mm for 4W units.

Operating Parameters: Generally output fixed currents like 350mA, 500mA, 700mA, or 1050mA.

Safety & Protection: Often include protection against short circuits, overloads, and no-load conditions, with some featuring IP66 ratings for moisture/dust resistance.

Dimming: Available in various dimming options, including DALI, 1-10V, Bluetooth, and Triac (leading/trailing edge).

Compatibility: Essential for series-wired LEDs to prevent thermal runaway.

Common Specifications

Power Range: Typically ranges from 4W to 1000W, with smaller, more compact options available for lower-power needs.

Efficiency: High-efficiency options (around 75%-80% or higher) are common.

Input Voltage: Frequently 100-240V AC, suitable for varied electrical environments.

Installation: Often include features like pre-flexed cables and loop-in/loop-out for easy installation.

Important Considerations

Load Matching: The total wattage of the lights must fall within the driver’s range.

Not for LED Tape: These are generally not suitable for 12V/24V constant voltage LED tape.

Failure Consequence: If one LED fails in a series string, the entire circuit may fail.
