Product Usage Instructions

Constant Current Mode LED Driver Operation

The HVGC-65 series LED driver operates in constant current mode
to directly drive LEDs. The highest voltage output depends on the
end system configuration.

Dimming Operation

The HVGC-65 series features a 3-in-1 dimming function for
B/AB-Type LED modules. The output constant current level can be
adjusted using one of three methodologies between DIM+ and DIM-:
0-10VDC, 10V PWM signal, or resistance.

FAQ

Q: How can I adjust the output current of the LED driver?

A: The output current can be adjusted by using the built-in
potentiometer for A/AB-Type LED modules within the specified
current adjustment range.

Q: What is the input voltage range for the LED driver?

A: The input voltage range is between 180VAC to 528VAC and
254VDC to 747VDC.

Q: How does the dimming function work for the HVGC-65

series?

A: The dimming function allows you to adjust the output constant
current level by applying a 0-10VDC signal, a 10V PWM signal, or
resistance between DIM+ and DIM-. Direct connection to LEDs is
recommended for optimal performance.

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. 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. It is measured 50%~100% of maximum voltage under rated power delivery.

6. 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)

7. To fulfill requirements of the latest ErP regulation for lighting fixtures, this LED driver can only be used behind a switch without permanently

connected to the mains.

8. This series meets the typical life expectancy of >50,000 hours of operation when Tcase, particularly tc point (or TMP, per DLC), is about 75 or less.

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

10. 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).

11. For any application note and IP water proof function installation caution, please refer our user manual before using.
