Description
LCM-40KN series is a 40W AC/DC constant current mode output LED driver featuring the multiple levels selectable by the dip switch and the KNX interface to avoid using the complicated KNX-DALI gateway. LCM-40KN operates from 180 ~ 295VAC and offers different current levels ranging between 350mA and 1050mA. Thanks to the high efficiency of up to 90%, with the fanless design, the entire series can operate for -30°C ~+90°C case temperature under free air convection. In addition, LCM-40KN is equipped with push dimming and synchronization to provide optimal design flexibility for an LED lighting system.

CONSTANT LIGHT OUTPUT
PUSH dimming or AC/DC input monitor(Primary side)
PUSH dimming
- KNX bus needs to be connected when using PUSH Dimming
- For the detailed function of PUSH dimming, please refer to the database.
- The maximum length of the cable between the push button and the driver is 20 meters.
- The mechanical push button can be connected only between the PUSH terminal, as displayed in the diagram, and AC/L (in brown or black); it will lead to a short circuit if it is connected to AC/N.
- In case the PUSH dimming is set locally, up to 10 drivers can perform the PUSH dimming at the same time when utilizing one common push button.
- In case the PUSH dimming is set independently via ETS, the number of drivers is done through group address and determined by the ETS project designer.
AC/DC input monitor
- KNX bus needs to be connected when using an AC/DC input monitor
- For the detailed function of the AC/DC input monitor(emergency lighting), please refer to the database and instruction manual.
SYNCHRONIZATION OPERATION
- Synchronization up to 10 drivers (1 master + 9 slaves)
- Dimming operating range: 6%~100%
- Sync cable length: < 5m
- Sync cable type: Flat cable
- Sync cable cross-section area : 22 – 24 AWG (0.2-0.3mm*)
- NOTE: Min. Dimming the operating range depends on the database setting.
TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION OPERATION
LCM-40KN has a built-in temperature compensation function; by connecting a temperature sensor (NTC resistor) between the +NTC / -NTC terminal of LCM-40KN and the detecting point on the lighting system or the surrounding environment, the output current of LCM-40KN could be correspondingly changed, based on the sensed temperature, to ensure the long life of LED.
NTC derating curve
Sensed Temperature(C)
LCM-40KN can still be operated normally when the NTC resistor is not connected and the value of the output current will be the current level selected through the DIP switch.
NTC reference:
NTC resistance | Output Current |
---|
220K
| < 60℃, 100% of the rated current (corresponds to the setting current level)
60℃, output current begins to reduce, please refer to the curve for details.
330K
| < 70℃, 100% of the rated current (corresponds to the setting current level)
70℃, output current begins to reduce, please refer to the curve for details.
470K
| < 80℃, 100% of the rated current (corresponds to the setting current level)
80℃, output current begins to reduce, please refer to the curve for details.
Notes:
- MEAN WELL does not offer the NTC resistor and all the data above are measured by using the THINKING TTC03 series.
- If other brands of NTC resistors are applied, please check the temperature curve first.
KNX control, dimming and synchronization functions of the driver will be invalid when the “temperature compensation” function is in use.
