Controls and Settings

Internal DIP switches and jumpers for configuration.

DIP Switch Bank (SW1): 4-position switch for current setting: Position 1-2-3-4: 0000=300mA, 0001=350mA, ... 1111=1050mA

Dimming Select Jumper (J1): Position 1-2: 0-10V analog Position 2-3: PWM Position 3-4: DALI

Status LED: Green: Normal operation Red flashing: Over temperature Red solid: Short circuit/Over voltage Off: No power or fault

Connecting Devices

AC Input: Connect to L/N terminals. LED Output: Connect to +/- terminals. Dimming: Connect to DIM+ and DIM-.

Ensure power is OFF before making connections.
Use appropriate wire gauge (min 0.75mm² for input, 1.0mm² for output).
For dimming: Use shielded cable for 0-10V/PWM; follow DALI wiring guidelines.
Secure all connections with proper torque (0.5Nm).

Tip: Keep dimming wires separate from power wires to avoid interference.

Operation Modes

Supports constant current operation with various dimming protocols.

Constant Current Mode: Maintains set current regardless of voltage variations.
Dimming Operation: Smooth dimming from 1% to 100% with compatible controller.
Thermal Management: Automatically reduces output if temperature exceeds limit.
Standby Mode: Consumes <0.5W when dimmed to minimum.

WARNING! Do not exceed maximum output voltage or current settings.

Protection Features

Short Circuit Protection: Auto shut-off with auto-recovery after fault cleared. Over Temperature: Reduces output current when >85°C. Over Voltage: Shuts down if output voltage exceeds limit. Input Surge: 4kV line to line, 6kV line to ground.

Care & Maintenance

Disconnect power before maintenance. Clean with dry cloth only; do not use chemicals.

CAUTION! Do not disassemble unit beyond user-serviceable parts. No user-serviceable parts inside.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Possible Cause	Corrective Action
No output	No input power	Check AC supply; verify connections.
LED flashing red	Over temperature	Allow to cool; improve ventilation.
LED solid red	Short circuit/Over voltage	Check LED connections; verify voltage.
Dimming not working	Wrong protocol/wiring	Check jumper setting; verify dimmer wiring.
Output current incorrect	DIP switch setting	Verify DIP switch positions per table.
Flickering output	Loose connection	Check all terminal connections.

Reset: Power cycle to reset protection circuits.
