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. 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.

DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE

This series is able to work in either Constant Current mode (a direct drive way) or Constant Voltage mode (usually through additional DC/DC driver) to drive the LEDs.

DIMMING OPERATION

3 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-:
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.)

Applying additive 0 ~ 10VDC

Applying additive 10V PWM signal (frequency range 100Hz ~ 3KHz):

Applying additive resistance

Note:

Min. dimming level is about 8% and the output current is not defined when 0%< Iout<8%.
The output current could drop down to 0% when dimming input is about 0kΩ or 0Vdc, or 10V PWM signal with 0% duty cycle.

DALI Interface (primary side; for DA-Type)

Apply DALI signal between DA+ and DA-.
DALI protocol comprises 16 groups and 64 addresses.
First step is fixed at 8% of output.

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:

The power supply will switch to the constant current level at 100% starting from 6:00pm.
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.
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.
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:

The power supply will switch to the constant current level at 50% starting from 5:00pm.
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.
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.
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.
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:

The power supply will switch to the constant current level at 70% starting from 4:30pm.
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.
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.
