Installation

Unpack and inspect contents. Ensure proper mounting surface.

Mounting: Use provided brackets to secure driver to stable surface.
AC Connection: Connect live (L) and neutral (N) wires to input terminals.
DC Connection: Connect positive (+) and negative (-) wires to output terminals.
Grounding: Connect ground wire to ground terminal if required.
Secure all connections and ensure proper wire gauge is used.

WARNING! Disconnect power before installation. Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated.

First-Time Setup

Power on driver; check status indicator.

Power Connection: Ensure proper AC voltage (100-277V) is supplied.
Load Connection: Connect LED load to output terminals observing polarity.
Power On: Apply AC power; green LED should illuminate.
Load Test: Verify LED load operates correctly at full brightness.
Thermal Check: Ensure adequate ventilation around driver.

CAUTION! Do not exceed maximum load capacity. Ensure proper heat dissipation.

Mounting: Use provided brackets for wall or surface mounting.

Connecting Devices

Connect LED strips or modules to output terminals.

Calculate total load: Ensure sum of connected LEDs ≤ 100W.
Parallel Connection: Connect multiple LED strips in parallel to maintain 24V.
Wire Gauge: Use minimum 18 AWG for lengths up to 5 meters.
Polarity: Observe correct polarity (V+ to LED+, V- to LED-).
Waterproofing: Use IP67 connectors for outdoor applications.

Tip: Test each connection before final installation.

Operation Modes

Constant voltage operation only.

Normal Operation: Green LED illuminated, output stable at 24V DC.
Load Variation: Output maintains 24V regardless of load changes (within limits).
Thermal Management: Automatic power reduction if temperature exceeds limits.
Protection Modes: Automatic shutdown in fault conditions with red LED indicator.

WARNING! Do not attempt to modify output voltage. Not designed for dimming applications.

Protection Features

Multiple protection mechanisms ensure safe operation.

Protection	Description	Response
Short Circuit	Output short detected	Automatic shutdown, red LED
Overload	Load exceeds 110% rated power	Current limiting, thermal protection
Over-voltage	Input voltage > 277V AC	Automatic shutdown
Over-temperature	Internal temperature > 85°C	Power reduction or shutdown
Surge Protection	4kV line to line, 6kV line to ground	Absorbs surge energy

Care & Maintenance

Disconnect power before maintenance. Regular inspection recommended.

Cleaning: Use dry cloth only; do not use liquids or chemicals.
Inspection: Check terminals for corrosion every 6 months.
Ventilation: Ensure ventilation openings are not blocked.
Load Check: Verify connected load does not exceed rating.

CAUTION! Do not open casing. No user-serviceable parts inside.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Possible Cause	Corrective Action
No output (LED off)	No input power	Check AC power supply and connections
Red LED illuminated	Protection triggered	Disconnect power, check for shorts/overload, wait 5 minutes
LEDs flickering	Insufficient power	Check total load does not exceed 100W
Overheating	Poor ventilation	Ensure adequate air circulation around driver
Reduced brightness	Voltage drop	Check wire gauge and length; use thicker wires
Water ingress	Seal damaged	Check IP67 seals; replace if damaged

Reset: Disconnect power for 10 minutes to reset protection circuits.
