DUALdrive 560/A LED driver protection

Thermal

The LED output current is automatically decreased whenever the internal driver temperature exceeds a factory preset temperature. The LED output current is increased once the internal driver temperature drops below the preset temperature threshold. If the internal driver temperature continues to increase, despite a decrease in output current, the LED driver will eventually shut down.

LED output short circuit

The LED output current is cut off whenever the LED driver detects a shortcircuit. The LED driver will attempt a restart every 400ms after a short-circuit is detected.

LED output open circuit

All LED outputs are turned off whenever the LED driver detects an open circuit on any one of the LED outputs. The LED driver will automatically attempt a restart every 400ms after an open circuit is detected.

LED output overload

The driver monitors the cumulative load across all LED outputs. Whenever this cumulative load exceeds the maximum output power rating of the LED driver, the output current on all LED outputs is sequentially scaled down until the cumulative load drops below the maximum output power rating of the LED driver.

Reverse polarity

The LED driver will not yield any current if the polarity of the load on the LED output is reversed. This situation will not damage the LED driver but may damage the LED load.

DUALdrive 560/A LED protection

Thermal protection LED

An external NTC thermistor, which is placed on a PCB near the LEDs, can be connected to the driver via the LEDcode/NTC terminals. The output current to the LEDs is then decreased by 75% whenever the NTC exceeds a maximum allowable temperature, which is specified by the user in the FluxTool software. The default NTC temperature limit is set to 70 °C.

DALI-2 tunable white LED drivers allow you to independently control both the brightness and colour temperature (Kelvin) of your lighting using a single device address. They act as the “brain” between your digital lighting system and your LED strips, powering natural, human-centric lighting designs.

Key Features & Benefits

DT8 Technology: Utilises DALI Device Type 8 (DT8) protocol, allowing a single driver to process both intensity and colour. This saves hardware, wiring, and DALI addresses compared to older DT6 setups (which required two separate drivers).

Human-Centric Lighting (HCL): Enables smooth transitioning from warm, relaxing evening light (e.g., 2700K) to cool, energising daylight (e.g., 6500K).

Interoperability: DALI-2 certification guarantees that drivers, controllers, and sensors from different manufacturers will communicate reliably on the same network.

Smooth Dimming: Provides ultra-precise, flicker-free dimming (often down to 0.1%).

Common Applications

Commercial & Office Spaces: Dynamic daylight simulation to improve worker productivity and regulate natural circadian rhythms.

Residential Smart Homes: Seamless integration with systems like Lutron or Philips Dynalite for customised, time-of-day lighting scenes.

Hospitality: Ambiance adjustment in hotels and restaurants without replacing fixtures.
