2. Safety Instructions

• Ensure all wiring is performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local and national electrical codes.
• Disconnect power before installation or servicing to prevent electric shock.
• Do not open the power supply unit; there are no user-serviceable parts inside.
• Verify that the input voltage range (90-264VAC) matches your mains supply.
• Do not exceed the maximum output power of 60W or output current of 2.5A.
• Ensure adequate ventilation for free air convection cooling. Avoid covering the unit.
• The IP67 rating protects against dust and water immersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. Do not submerge for extended periods or expose to high-pressure water jets.

3. Setup and Installation

The LPV-60-24 features cable output for both input and output connections. Follow these steps for proper installation:

1. Input Connection: Connect the AC input cables (typically brown for Live, blue for Neutral, and green/yellow for Ground) to your mains power supply. Ensure secure and insulated connections.
2. Output Connection: Connect the DC output cables (typically red for positive (+) and black for negative (-)) to your LED lighting fixture or other compatible 24VDC load. Observe correct polarity.
3. Mounting: Mount the power supply in a location that allows for sufficient free air circulation to facilitate cooling. The unit can be mounted on a chassis or other stable surface. Ensure the ambient temperature remains within the specified operating range.
4. Verification: Double-check all connections for security and correct polarity before applying power.

4. Operating Instructions

The LPV-60-24 operates as a constant voltage (CV) power supply. Once properly installed and connected to a compatible load, apply AC power to the input. The unit will automatically provide a stable 24VDC output. It is designed for continuous operation within its specified parameters.

• Load Management: Ensure the total power consumption of the connected load does not exceed 60W. Overloading the power supply can lead to reduced lifespan or failure.
• Dimming: This model is without dimming functionality. Do not attempt to connect external dimmers to the output, as this may damage the power supply or the connected load.
• Environmental Conditions: Operate the power supply within its specified temperature and humidity ranges. While IP67 rated, extreme conditions outside its specifications can affect performance.

5. Maintenance

The MEAN WELL LPV-60-24 is designed for low maintenance. However, periodic checks can help ensure optimal performance and longevity:

• Visual Inspection: Periodically inspect the power supply and its cables for any signs of physical damage, wear, or corrosion.
• Cleanliness: Ensure the unit is free from excessive dust or debris, especially around its surface, to maintain efficient free air convection cooling. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners.
• Connection Integrity: Verify that all input and output connections remain secure. Loose connections can lead to intermittent operation or overheating.
• Environmental Check: Confirm that the operating environment continues to meet the specified temperature and humidity requirements.

Note: Do not attempt to open or repair the power supply. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your LPV-60-24 power supply, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• No Output Voltage:
  • Check if AC input power is present and correctly connected.
  • Verify that the input voltage is within the 90-264VAC range.
  • Inspect output connections for correct polarity and secure contact.
  • Ensure the load is not short-circuited or drawing excessive current, which might trigger protection mechanisms.
• Output Voltage Incorrect/Unstable:
  • Confirm the load's voltage requirement matches the 24VDC output.
  • Check if the total load power exceeds 60W. Reduce the load if necessary.
  • Ensure proper ventilation; overheating can affect output stability.
• Overheating:
  • Verify that the power supply is not covered and has adequate free air circulation.
  • Ensure the ambient temperature is within the specified operating range.
  • Confirm the load is not exceeding the maximum rated power.

If the problem persists after performing these checks, contact MEAN WELL customer support or a qualified service technician.
