NOTE**|
- All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
- Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12″ twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1uf & 47uf parallel capacitor
- Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation
- Derating may be needed under low input voltage, please check the static characteristic for more details
- Please refer to “DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE”.
- The power supply is considered as a component that will be operated in combination with final equipment. Since EMC performance will be affected by the complete installation, the final equipment manufacturers must re-qualify EMC Directive on the complete installation again.
- Direct connecting to LEDs is suggested, but is not suitable for using additional drivers.
- To fulfill requirements of the latest ErP regulation for lighting fixtures, this LED power supply can only be used behind a switch without permanently connected to the mains.
- The ambient temperature derating of 3.5℃/1000m with fanless models and of 5℃/1000m with fan models for operating altitude higher than 2000m(6500ft).
- For any application note and IP water proof function installation caution, please refer our user manual before using.https://[www.meanwell.com/Upload/PDF/LED_EN.pdf](http://www.meanwell.com/Upload/PDF/LED_EN.pdf)※ Product Liability Disclaimer：For detailed information, please refer to https://[www.meanwell.com/serviceDisclaimer.aspx](http://www.meanwell.com/serviceDisclaimer.aspx)
