SOLOdrive 360/A driver protections

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.

SOLOdrive 360/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 short circuit. The LED driver will attempt a restart every 400ms after a short-circuit is detected.

LED output open circuit

The LED output is turned off whenever the LED driver detects an open circuit. The LED driver will attempt a restart every 400ms after an open circuit is detected.

LED output overload

The driver monitors the LED output load. Whenever the output load exceeds the maximum output power rating of the LED driver, the output current 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.

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.

Thermistor value

DALI-2 constant current LED drivers are intelligent, IEC 62386-compliant power supplies designed for precise digital dimming in professional lighting. They provide flicker-free, 0.1%-100% dimming, typically supporting 350mA–1050mA outputs for series-wired LEDs. These drivers allow individual/group control, bidirectional feedback, and often feature NFC or DIP switch settings.

Key Features and Benefits

Smart Control & Compatibility: Fully compliant with DALI-2 standards, ensuring interoperability with a wide range of certified control devices.

Precision Dimming: Offers smooth, flicker-free dimming down to very low levels (e.g., 0.1% or 1%), ideal for scenes requiring high visual comfort.

Flexible Output: Many models feature selectable constant current outputs via DIP switches or NFC (e.g., 350mA, 500mA, 700mA, 1050mA).

Monitoring & Feedback: Bi-directional communication allows the driver to report status, such as fault detection or energy consumption.

Applications: Designed for commercial, architectural, and smart building applications.

Technical Specifications

Current Range: Commonly 350mA to 1050mA, though ranges vary.
