2. Safety Instructions
Always observe the following safety precautions to prevent injury or damage to the product:
- Ensure the power supply is disconnected before installation or maintenance.
- Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical codes.
- Do not exceed the specified input voltage or output current.
- Protect the driver from moisture and extreme temperatures. The IP42 rating indicates protection against solid objects larger than 1mm and splashing water.
- Do not open the casing of the LED driver. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
- Ensure proper ventilation around the driver to prevent overheating.
3. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of the LED driver:
- Preparation: Disconnect all power to the circuit where the LED driver will be installed. Ensure you have the necessary tools (wire strippers, screwdriver, multimeter).
- Mounting: The driver is designed for panel mounting. Secure it in a location that allows for adequate ventilation and is protected from physical damage.
- Input Wiring (AC): Connect the AC input wires to the clearly marked terminals. The input voltage range is 200-240V AC, 50/60Hz.
- Connect the Live (L) wire to the AC-L terminal.
- Connect the Neutral (N) wire to the AC-N terminal.
- Output Wiring (DC): Connect the DC output wires to your LED panel. The output is constant current 1000mA DC, with a voltage range of 33V-40V.
- Connect the positive (+) wire from the LED panel to the LED+ terminal.
- Connect the negative (-) wire from the LED panel to the LED- terminal.
- Verification: Double-check all connections for proper polarity and secure fastening. Ensure no bare wires are exposed.
- Power On: Restore power to the circuit. The LED panel should illuminate.

5. Maintenance
The LEDLUX LF-GIF040YS1000 LED Driver requires minimal maintenance. However, periodic checks can help ensure its longevity and optimal performance:
- Cleaning: If necessary, gently wipe the exterior of the driver with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
- Connection Check: Periodically inspect the wiring connections to ensure they remain secure and free from corrosion.
- Ventilation: Ensure that the area around the driver remains clear of obstructions to allow for proper airflow and heat dissipation.
- Environmental Conditions: Verify that the operating environment remains within the specified temperature and humidity ranges.
Note: Do not attempt to repair the driver yourself. Refer to the troubleshooting section for common issues.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your LEDLUX LED Driver, refer to the following table:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| LED panel does not light up. | No power supply to the driver. Incorrect wiring (input or output). Faulty LED panel. | Check power source and circuit breaker. Verify all wiring connections and polarity. Test LED panel with a known good driver, or test driver with a known good panel. |
| LED panel flickers or dims. | Unstable input voltage. Overload or incompatible LED panel. Poor connection. | Ensure stable AC input. Verify LED panel specifications match driver output. Check and secure all wiring connections. |
| Driver is hot to the touch. | Insufficient ventilation. Overload. | Ensure adequate airflow around the driver. Verify total wattage of LED panel does not exceed 40W. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, contact qualified service personnel.
