NOTE

1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated current and 25 of ambient temperature. 2. Please refer to “DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE”.

3. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12″ twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1uf & 47uf parallel capacitor.

4. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.

5. De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.

6. Length of set up time is measured at first cold start. Turning ON/OFF the driver may lead to increase of the set up time.

7. No load/standby power consumption is specified for 230VAC input.

8. The driver 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.

(as available on https://www.meanwell.com//Upload/PDF/EMI_statement_en.pdf)

9. This series meets the typical life expectancy of >50,000 hours of operation when Tcase, particularly tc point (or TMP, per DLC), is about 70 or less.

10. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL’s website at http://www.meanwell.com

11. 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).

12. 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

13. 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.
