BLOCK DIAGRAM

DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE

DIMMING OPERATION

• 3 in 1 dimming function (for AB-Type)
• Output constant current level can be adjusted by applying one of the three methodologies between DIM+ and DIM-: 0 ~ 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.)

Note

1. Min. dimming level is about 6% and the output current is not defined when 0%< Iout<6%.
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 lighting

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.

Ex: ◎ D02-Type: the profile recommended for street lighting

TIME matches Operating Time in the diagram whereas LEVEL matches Dimming Level.
Example: If a street lighting application adopts D02-Type, when turning on the power supply at 5:00pm, for instance:

1. The power supply will switch to the constant current level at 50% starting from 5:00pm.
2. The power supply will switch to the constant current level at 80% in turn, starting from 6:00pm, which is 01:00 after the power supply turns on.
3. The power supply will switch to the constant current level at 100% in turn, starting from 8:00pm, which is 03:00 after the power supply turns on.
4. The power supply will switch to the constant current level at 60% in turn, starting from 1:00am, which is 08:00 after the power supply turns on.
5. The power supply will switch to the constant current level at 80% in turn, starting from 4:00am, which is 11:00 after the power supply turns on. The constant current level remains till 6:30am, which is 14:00 after the power supply turns on.

Ex: ◎ D03-Type: the profile recommended for tunnel lighting

**: TIME matches Operating Time in the diagram whereas LEVEL matches Dimming Level.
Example: If a tunnel lighting application adopts D03-Type, when turning on the power supply at 4:30pm, for instance:

1. The power supply will switch to the constant current level at 70% starting from 4:30pm.
2. The power supply will switch to the constant current level at 100% in turn, starting from 6:00pm, which is 01:30 after the power supply turns on.
3. 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 6:30am, which is 14:00 after the power supply turns on.

DALI interface(primary side; for ADA-Type)

• Apply DALI signal between DA+ and DA-.
• DALI protocol comprises 16 groups and 64 addresses.
• First step is fixed at 6% of output.
