- IDLV-45-60: DC Voltage – 60V, Rated Current – 0.75A, Rated Power – 45W
The driver has a dimming range of 0~100% and a voltage tolerance. It operates with a wide voltage range of 90 ~ 295VAC and a frequency range of 47 ~ 63Hz. The power factor is greater than 0.95/115VAC, 0.92/230VAC, and 0.9/277VAC at full load. It also has a total harmonic distortion of less than 20% and an efficiency ranging from 84% to 90% depending on the model.
Product Usage Instructions
To use the IDLV-45 series LED driver, follow these instructions:
- Ensure that the input voltage is within the range of 90 ~ 295VAC and the frequency is between 47 ~ 63Hz.
- Connect the AC power source to the driver’s input terminals.
- Make sure the total load on the driver does not exceed its rated power.
- If dimming is required, connect the appropriate dimming control signal to the driver’s dimming input terminal. The driver supports a dimming range of 0~100%.
- Connect the LED load to the driver’s output terminals. Make sure the polarity is correct.

- All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated current and 25°C of ambient temperature.
- De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
- Length of set up time is measured at cold first start. Turning ON/OFF the driver may lead to increase of the set up time.
- Aux. 12V will be damaged with short circuit; It will not be available with dimming off or output no load condition.
- The driver is considered as a component that will be operated in combination with final equipment. Since MC performance will be affected by the complete installation, the final equipment manufacturers must re-qualify MC Directive on the complete installation again.
- The ambient temperature derating of 3.5°C/1000m with fanless models and of 5°C/1000m with fan models for operating altitude higher than 2000m(6500ft)
- To fulfill requirements of the latest Er regulation for lighting fixtures, this LED power supply can only be used behind a switch without permanently
 connected to the mains.

DIMMING OPERATION

Dimming principle for PWM style output
Dimming is achieved by varying the duty cycle of the output current.

2 in 1 dimming function
- Applying additive 0 ~ 10VDC 
- Applying additive 10V PWM signal (frequency range 300~3000Hz): 
Note:
- Min. duty cycle of output current is about 8% and the output current is not defined when 0%< Iout<8%.
- The duty cycle of output current could drop down to 0% when dimming input is about 0Vdc or 10V PWM signal with 0% duty cycle.
