Thermal details and lifetime

The LED driver is 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.

87501117 Installation / wiring

87501117 Circuit diagram

87501117 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 (WAGO 250).

87501117 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 leads (ideally 5 – 10 cm distance)
• Max. length of output wires is 2 m.
• Incorrect wiring can damage 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.).

Earth connection

The earth connection is conducted as protection earth (PE). If the LED Driver will be earthed, protection earth (PE) has to be used.
Earth connection is recommended to improve following behaviour:

• Electromagnetic interferences (EMI)
• Transmission of mains transients to the LED output

In general it is recommended to earth the LED driver if the LED module is mounted on earthed luminaire parts respectively heat sinks and thereby representing a high capacity against earth.

Replace LED module

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

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

Mounting of device

Max. torque for fixing: 0.5 Nm/M4

Maximum loading of automatic circuit breakers in relation to inrush current

These are max. values calculated out of inrush current! Please consider not to exceed the maximum rated continuous current of the circuit breaker.
Calculation uses typical values from ABB series S200 as a reference.
Actual values may differ due to used circuit breaker types and installation environment.

87501117 Functions

Short-circuit behaviour

In case of a short circuit on the output side (LED) the LED driver switches off. 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.

Overtemperature protection

The LED Driver is protected against temporary thermal overheating. If the temperature limit is exceeded the LED Driver will switch off. It restarts automatically. The temperature protection is activated typically at 12 °C above tc max.

DC emergency operation

The LED driver is designed to operate on DC voltage and pulsed DC voltage. For a reliable operation, make sure that also in DC emergency operation the LED driver is run within the specified conditions.

Light output level in DC operation (EOFx): 98 % (cannot be adjusted)

The voltage-dependent input current of Driver incl. LED module is depending on the used load.

The voltage-dependent no-load current of Driver (without or defect LED module) is for:
AC: < 30 mA
DC: < 15 mA

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 control gear, 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.

Linear constant current LED drivers with DIP switches offer flexible, on-site current adjustment (e.g., 350mA, 700mA, 1050mA) for high-power series-connected LEDs. These slim, often flicker-free units are ideal for linear lighting, panels, and commercial fixtures, allowing one driver to fit various LED loads. They provide stable DC power, maximizing LED lifespan.

Key Features and Benefits

Adjustable Output: DIP switches on the unit allow users to select from multiple current outputs, reducing inventory requirements.

Constant Current Regulation: Ensures consistent brightness and color by supplying a fixed amperage, adjusting voltage as necessary to match the LED load.

Linear/Slim Design: The narrow profile makes them suitable for installation in slim, compact luminaires.

Protection Features: Often include protection against overheating, overvoltage, short-circuits, and open-circuits.

Flicker-Free: High-quality units offer low ripple current, which is critical for health and comfort in commercial lighting.

Installation Note: Always turn off the main power before configuring the DIP switches or connecting LED modules to prevent damage.

Typical Applications

Office and Retail: Linear office luminaires and retail downlights.

Custom Projects: Scenarios where exact LED loads are not known until installation.

Retrofitting: Upgrading fixtures where current flexibility is needed.

Common Specifications

Power Ratings: Ranges commonly from 20W up to 150W.

Input Voltage: Usually 220–240V AC, with some offering 100-277V for commercial use.

Dimming: Select models support dimming protocols such as DALI, 1-10V, or TRIAC.
