4. Setup & Installation
Before beginning installation, ensure all power is disconnected at the main circuit breaker. Refer to local and national electrical codes for proper wiring practices.
4.1 Mounting
Mount the LED driver securely to a flat, stable surface using appropriate fasteners. Ensure there is sufficient clearance around the driver for proper heat dissipation. Avoid mounting in enclosed spaces without ventilation.
4.2 Wiring Connections
Identify the input (AC) and output (DC) terminals on the driver. The driver typically has clearly marked terminals for Line (L), Neutral (N), and Ground (GND) for AC input, and positive (+) and negative (-) for DC output.
- Connect the AC input wires from the power source to the corresponding input terminals (L, N, GND) on the driver. Ensure correct voltage (347V or 480V AC) is supplied.
- Connect the DC output wires from the driver to the LED module(s). Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -).
- Verify all connections are secure and properly insulated.
Note: Consult the wiring diagram provided with your specific LED fixture or module for detailed connection instructions.
5. Operating Instructions
Once installation is complete and all connections are verified, restore power at the circuit breaker. The LED driver will automatically power the connected LED modules. No user adjustments are typically required for standard operation.
- Power On: Apply AC power to the input terminals. The connected LEDs should illuminate.
- Power Off: Disconnect AC power from the input terminals. The connected LEDs will turn off.
For dimming functionality, if supported by your specific driver model and LED modules, refer to the separate dimming control instructions.
6. Maintenance
The Philips Xitanium LED Driver is designed for maintenance-free operation. However, periodic inspection is recommended to ensure optimal performance and safety.
- Cleaning: Ensure power is off before cleaning. Gently wipe the exterior of the driver with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
- Inspection: Periodically check for any visible damage to the housing or wiring. Ensure all connections remain secure. Verify that ventilation openings are not obstructed.
Do not attempt to repair the driver. If the unit is damaged or malfunctioning, contact qualified service personnel or Philips support.
7. Troubleshooting
If the LED driver or connected LEDs are not functioning as expected, refer to the following common issues and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| LEDs do not illuminate. | No AC input power. Incorrect wiring. Faulty LED module. Driver failure. | Check circuit breaker and power supply. Verify all input and output connections. Test LED module with a known good driver. Replace driver if other components are functional. |
| LEDs flicker or dim unexpectedly. | Unstable AC input voltage. Loose connections. Overheating. Incompatible dimmer (if applicable). | Ensure stable power supply. Check and secure all wiring connections. Ensure adequate ventilation. Verify dimmer compatibility. |
| Driver is hot to the touch. | Insufficient ventilation. Overload. High ambient temperature. | Improve airflow around the driver. Ensure total LED load does not exceed driver capacity. Relocate driver to a cooler environment if possible. |
If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, contact Philips customer support.
