5. What's in the Box

Your package should contain the following item:

• 1x PLUSPOE 24V 120W Triac Dimmable LED Driver

Note: Power cables are not included and must be supplied separately.

6. Installation and Wiring

Important: Ensure all power is disconnected at the circuit breaker before beginning installation. Improper wiring can cause damage to the unit, connected lights, or pose an electrical hazard.

1. Mounting: Securely mount the LED driver in a dry, well-ventilated indoor location. Ensure there is sufficient space around the unit for heat dissipation.
2. AC Input Wiring:
   • Connect the Live (L) wire from your 110V AC power source (and dimmer switch, if used) to the 'L' terminal on the driver's AC INPUT side.
   • Connect the Neutral (N) wire from your 110V AC power source to the 'N' terminal on the driver's AC INPUT side.
   • Connect the Ground (GND) wire from your electrical system to the 'GND' terminal on the driver's AC INPUT side.
3. DC Output Wiring:
   • Connect the Positive (+) wire from your 24V LED lights to the '+' terminal on the driver's DC OUTPUT side.
   • Connect the Negative (-) wire from your 24V LED lights to the '-' terminal on the driver's DC OUTPUT side.
   • Ensure all connections are tight and secure within the terminal blocks.
4. Load Calculation: Verify that the total wattage of your connected 24V LED lights does not exceed 120W.
5. Power On: Once all connections are verified and secure, restore power at the circuit breaker.

• Ventilation: Ensure that the area around the driver remains clear of obstructions to allow for proper airflow and cooling.

10. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your LED driver, consider the following:

• No Light Output:
  • Check if the AC power supply is active.
  • Verify all wiring connections (AC input and DC output) are correct and secure.
  • Ensure the total wattage of connected LED lights does not exceed 120W.
  • Confirm the LED lights themselves are functional and rated for 24V DC.
• Flickering or Inconsistent Dimming:
  • Ensure your wall dimmer is a compatible TRIAC dimmer.
  • Check for loose wiring connections.
  • Verify the total load is within the driver's capacity and not too low for the dimmer (though this driver requires no minimum load, some dimmers might).
• Buzzing or Humming Noise:
  • This driver is designed to be quiet. If noise occurs, ensure all connections are tight.
  • Some dimmers can introduce noise; try a different compatible dimmer if possible.
• Overheating:
  • Immediately disconnect power.
  • Check for overloading (total wattage exceeding 120W).
  • Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.
