2. Safety Instructions

WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions may result in fire, electric shock, or other injury or damage.

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with all local and national electrical codes.
Ensure the power supply is disconnected from the main power source before any installation, wiring, or maintenance.
Do not exceed the maximum output wattage (60W) or current (5A) of the power supply.
Verify that the input voltage range (90-264VAC) is compatible with your mains power supply.
Ensure proper ventilation around the unit, even though it uses free air cooling. Do not cover the unit.
Do not open the power supply casing. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Opening the unit will void the warranty and may expose you to dangerous voltages.
Protect wiring from sharp edges, heat, and chemicals.
This unit is designed for outdoor use with an IP67 rating, but avoid prolonged submersion or high-pressure water jets.

5. Setup and Installation

Before beginning installation, ensure all power is disconnected at the circuit breaker.

Mounting: Select a suitable, stable surface for mounting the power supply. The unit includes mounting holes for secure surface installation. Ensure the mounting location allows for adequate air circulation for cooling and is protected from direct mechanical impact.
Input Wiring (AC):
- Connect the AC input wires from your mains power supply to the designated input terminals of the LPV-60-12. Typically, these are brown (Live), blue (Neutral), and green/yellow (Ground) wires. Refer to local electrical codes for correct wiring practices.
- Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated to prevent short circuits or electrical hazards.
Output Wiring (DC):
- Connect the DC output wires (typically red for positive (+) and black for negative (-)) from the LPV-60-12 to your LED lighting fixture or application.
- Observe correct polarity to avoid damage to the LED load.
- Ensure the total wattage of the connected LED load does not exceed 60W.
Sealing Connections: For outdoor installations, use appropriate waterproof connectors and sealing methods for all wire connections to maintain the IP67 rating and prevent water ingress.
Final Check: Double-check all wiring connections for correctness and security before restoring power.

6. Operating Instructions

Once properly installed and wired, the MEAN WELL LPV-60-12 power supply operates automatically.

Power On: After completing all wiring and safety checks, restore power to the circuit. The power supply will immediately begin providing a stable 12VDC output to the connected LED load.
Normal Operation: The unit is designed for continuous operation within its specified temperature and load limits.
Overload Protection: In case of an overload or short circuit, the unit's hiccup mode protection will activate, temporarily shutting down the output. Once the fault condition is removed, the power supply will automatically resume normal operation.

7. Maintenance

The MEAN WELL LPV-60-12 is designed for minimal maintenance due to its sealed, fanless design.

Periodic Inspection: Periodically inspect the unit and its wiring for any signs of damage, wear, or loose connections. Ensure that the mounting remains secure.
Cleaning: If necessary, gently wipe the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth to remove dust or debris. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure power is disconnected before cleaning.
Environmental Conditions: Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified temperature range (-25°C to +70°C) and that the unit is not exposed to conditions beyond its IP67 rating.
No User Serviceable Parts: Do not attempt to open or repair the unit. Refer any issues to qualified service personnel.

8. Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
No output power to LEDs.	No AC input power. Loose wiring connections. Overload or short circuit on the output. Faulty LED load. Internal power supply failure.	Check the circuit breaker and AC power source. Verify all input and output wiring connections are secure. Disconnect the LED load. If the power supply resumes operation, the load is overloaded or shorted. Reduce load or replace faulty LEDs. If all checks fail, the power supply may be faulty and require replacement.
LEDs flicker or dim.	Intermittent connection. Load close to maximum capacity. Voltage drop due to long or thin wires.	Check all wiring connections for looseness. Ensure the total load is well within the 60W limit. Use thicker gauge wires for longer runs to minimize voltage drop.

If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, contact your supplier or a qualified technician. Do not attempt to repair the unit yourself.
