NOTE|

  1.  All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 347VAC input, rated current and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
  2. Please refer to “DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE”.
  3. De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
  4. Length of set up time is measured at first cold start. Turning ON/OFF the power supply may lead to increase of the set up time.
  5. 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)](http://www.meanwell.com/Upload/PDF/EMI_statement_en.pdf))
  6. This series meets the typical life expectancy of >50,000 hours of operation when Tcase, particularly tc point (or TMP, per DLC), is about 80℃ or less.
  7. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL’s website at http://www.meanwell.com.
  8. 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).
  9. 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)
  10. 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.
  11. The models certified by CCC (GB19510.14, GB19510.1, GB/T 17743 and GB17625.1) are optional models. Please contact your MEAN WELL sales for more information.

DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE
This series works in constant current mode to directly drive the LEDs.

In the constant current region, the highest voltage at the output of the driver depends on the configuration of the end systems.
Should there be any compatibility issues, please contact MEAN WELL.

DIMMING OPERATION

MEAN-WEL- HVGC-320-700-Constant-Current-Mode-LED-Drive-
\(5\)

  • in 1 dimming function (for B/AB-Type)

  • Output constant current level can be adjusted by applying one of the three methodologies between DIM+ and DIM-:
    ~ 10VDC, or 10V PWM signal or resistance.

  • Direct connecting to LEDs is suggested. It is not suitable ‧ to be used with additional drivers.

  • Dimming source current from power supply: 100μA (typ.) MEAN-WEL- HVGC-320-700-Constant-Current-Mode-LED-Drive- \(6\)

Note

  1. Min. dimming level is about 5% and the output current is not defined when 0%< Iout<5%.
  2. The output current could drop down to 0% when dimming input is about 0kΩ or 0Vdc, or 10V PWM signal with 0% duty cycle.

Smart timer dimming function (for Dxx-Type by User definition)
MEAN WELL Smart timer dimming primarily provides the adaptive proportion dimming profile for the output constant current level to perform up to 14
consecutive hours. 3 dimming profiles hereunder are defined accounting for the most frequently seen applications. If other options may be needed,
please contact MEAN WELL for details.

Ex : ◎ D01-Type: the profile recommended for residential lightingMEAN-

TIME matches Operating Time in the diagram whereas LEVEL matches Dimming Level.
Example: If a residential lighting application adopts D01-Type, when turning on the power supply at 6:00pm, for instance:

  1. The power supply will switch to the constant current level at 100% starting from 6:00pm.
  2. The power supply will switch to the constant current level at 70% in turn, starting from 0:00am, which is 06:00 after the power supply turns on.
  3. The power supply will switch to the constant current level at 50% in turn, starting from 1:00am, which is 07:00 after the power supply turns on.
  4. The power supply will switch to the constant current level at 70% in turn, starting from 5:00am, which is 11:00 after the power supply turns on.
    The constant current level remains till 8:00am, which is 14:00 after the power supply turns on.
