1. Standards

EN 61000-3-2
EN 61000-3-3
EN 61347-1
EN 61347-2-13
EN 61547

1.1 Glow wire test
according to EN 60598-1 with increased temperature of 850 °C passed.

2. Thermal details and lifetime

2.1 Expected lifetime

Expected lifetime

The LED drivers are designed for a lifetime stated above under reference conditions and with a failure probability of less than 10 %.
Lifetime declarations are informative and represent no warranty claim.

The relation of tc to ta temperature depends also on the luminaire design.
If the measured tc temperature is approx. 5 K below tc max., ta temperature should be checked and eventually critical components (e.g. ELCAP) measured. Detailed information on request.

3. Installation / wiring

3.1 Circuit diagram

3.2 Wiring type and cross section
For wiring use stranded wire with ferrules or solid wire from 0.75–1.5 mm² (mains wires) and 0.2–1.5 mm² (secondary wires, LED module).
Strip 8.5–9.5 mm of insulation from the cables to ensure perfect operation of the push-wire terminals.
Use one wire for each terminal connector only.
The max. torque at the clamping screw (M3) is 0.3 Nm.

3.3 Release of the wiring
Press down the “push button” and remove the cable from front.

3.4 Fixing conditions when using as independent Driver with Clip-On
Dry, acidfree, oilfree, fatfree. It is not allowed to exceed the maximum ambient temperature (ta) stated on the device. Minimum distances stated below are recommendations and depend on the actual luminaire.
Is not suitable for fixing in corner.

3.5 Wiring guidelines

All connections must be kept as short as possible to ensure good EMI behaviour.
Mains leads should be kept apart from LED driver and other leads
(ideally 5 – 10 cm distance)
Max. length of output wires is 2 m.
To comply with the EMC regulations run the secondary wires (LED module) in parallel.
Secondary switching is not permitted.
Incorrect wiring can demage LED modules.
To avoid the damage of the Driver, the wiring must be protected against short circuits to earth (sharp edged metal parts, metal cable clips, louver, etc.).

3.6 Replace LED module

Mains off
Remove LED module
Wait for 30 seconds
Connect LED module again

Hot plug-in or secondary switching of LEDs is not permitted and may cause a very high current to the LEDs.

3.7 Installation instructions
The LED module and all contact points within the wiring must be sufficiently insulated against 3 kV surge voltage.
Air and creepage distance must be maintained.

3.8 Mounting of device
Max. torque for fixing: 0.5 Nm/M4

4. Electrical values

4.1 Efficiency vs load

4.2 Power factor vs load

4.3 Input power vs load

4.4 Input current vs load

4.5 THD vs load

THD without harmonic < 5 mA (0.6 %) of the input current:

4.6 Maximum loading of automatic circuit breakers in relation to inrush current

Maximum loading of automatic circuit breakers

These are max. values calculated out of inrush current! Please consider not to exceed the maximum rated continuous current of the circuit breaker.
Calculation uses typical values from ABB series S200 as a reference.
Actual values may differ due to used circuit breaker types and installation environment

4.7 Harmonic distortion in the mains supply (at 230 V / 50 Hz and full load)

in %

Acc. to 61000-3-2. Harmonics < 5 mA or < 0.6 % (whatever is greater) of the input current are not considered for calculation of THD.

5. Functions

5.1 Short-circuit behaviour
In case of a short circuit on the secondary side (LED) the LED driver switches off. After elimination of the short circuit the nominal operation is restored automatically.

5.2 No-load operation
The LED driver works in burst working mode to provide a constant output voltage regulation which allows the application to be able to work safely when LED string opens due to a failure.

5.3 Overload protection
If the maximum load is exceeded by a defined internal limit, the LED driver will protect itself by reducing the LED output current.
After elimination of the overload, the nominal operation is restored automatically.

6. Miscellaneous

6.1 Insulation and electric strength testing of luminaires
Electronic devices can be damaged by high voltage. This has to be considered during the routine testing of the luminaires in production.
According to IEC 60598-1 Annex Q (informative only!) or ENEC 303-Annex A, each luminaire should be submitted to an insulation test with 500 V DC for 1 second. This test voltage should be connected between the interconnected phase and neutral terminals and the earth terminal.
The insulation resistance must be at least 2 MΩ.
As an alternative, IEC 60598-1 Annex Q describes a test of the electrical strength with 1500 V AC (or 1.414 x 1500 V DC). To avoid damage to the electronic devices this test must not be conducted.

6.2 Conditions of use and storage

Humidity:
5 % up to max. 85 %,
not condensed
(max. 56 days/year at 85 %)

Storage temperature: -40 °C up to max. +80 °C
The devices have to be within the specified temperature range (ta) before they can be operated.

6.3 Maximum number of switching cycles
All LED driver are tested with 50,000 switching cycles.

6.4 Additional information

No warranty if device was opened.
