Description
The ESM-880SxxxMGS series is an 880W, constant-current, programmable and IP66/IP67 rated LED driver that operates from 249-528Vac input with excellent power factor. Created for many lighting applications including high mast, sports, UV-LED, aquaculture and horticulture, etc. It provides an auxiliary voltage and dim-to-off functionality for powering low voltage, wireless controls. The dimming control supports 0-10V dimming as well as two-way communication via Digital Dimming, a UART based communication protocol. The high efficiency of these drivers and compact metal case enables them to run cooler, significantly improving reliability and extending product life. To ensure trouble-free operation, protection is provided against input surge, input under voltage, input over voltage, output over voltage, short circuit, and over temperature.

Dimming
10V Dimming
The recommended implementation of the dimming control is provided below.
Notes:
- Do NOT connect Dim− to the output V− or V+, otherwise the driver will not work properly.
- The dimmer can also be replaced by an active 0-10V voltage source signal or passive components like zener.
- When 0-10V negative logic dimming mode and Dim+ is open, the driver will dim to off and be standby.
PWM Dimming
The recommended implementation of the dimming control is provided below.
Notes:
- Do NOT connect Dim− to the output V− or V+, otherwise the driver will not work properly.
- When PWM negative logic dimming mode and Dim+ is open, the driver will dim to off and be standby.
Adjustable Dimming Curve
0-10V dimming curve can be set as corresponding dimming voltage by Inventronics Multi Programmer. Take the positive logic dimming as an example, the recommended implementation of the dimming control is provided below.
Notes:
- Do NOT connect Dim− to the output V− or V+, otherwise the driver will not work properly.
- The dimmer can also be replaced by an active 0-10V voltage source signal or passive components like zener.
- When dimming voltage X point is set to be smaller than Y point, the dimming curve is positive logic; conversely, when X point is set to be bigger than Y point, the dimming curve is negative logic.
- For best dimming accuracy, the difference between X point and Y point is advised more than 4V.
- Dimming off voltage adjustable.
- Time Dimming
Time dimming control includes 3 kinds of modes, they are Self Adapting-Midnight, Self Adapting-Percentage and Traditional Timer.- Self Adapting-Midnight: Automatically adjusts the dimming curve based on the on-time of past two days (if difference <15 minutes), assuming that the center point of the dimming curve is midnight local time.
- Self Adapting-Percentage: Automatically adjusts the on-time of each step by a constant percentage = (actual on-time for the past 2 days if difference <15 min) / (programmed on-time from the dimming curve).
- Traditional Timer: Follows the programmed timing curve after power on with no changes.
- Output Lumen Compensation
Output Lumen Compensation (OLC) may be used to maintain constant light output over the life of the LEDs by driving them at a reduced current when new, then gradually increasing the drive current over time to counteract LED lumen degradation. - Minimum Dimming Level with 5% or 10% Selectable
The minimum dimming level can be set as 5% or 10% by Inventronics Multi Programmer,10% is default. - Hold Time Adjustable
When AC power is first applied to the LED driver, enabling a “Hold” period can allow devices powered by the Auxiliary voltage to stabilize before the driver fades up to the maximum dimming level. During this period, the driver will not respond to external dimming commands but will respond again after the hold time ends. Both the initial dimming percentage and the duration of this hold period can be adjusted by the Inventronics Multi Programmer. This function is disabled by default. - Fade Time Adjustable
There is a “Fade” period after the “Hold” period. The soft-start time and dimming slope applied to all dimming transitions can be adjusted individually. It is adjusted by the Inventronics Multi Programmer. This function is disabled by default. - End Of Life
End-of-Life (EOL) is providing a visual notification to a user that the LED module has reached the end of manufacturer-specified life and that the replacement is recommended. Once active, an indication is given at each power-up of the driver, which the driver indicates this through a lower light output during the first 1 minute before normal operation is continued. - Digital Dimming
Inventronics Digital Dimming is a UART (Universal Asynchronous Receive Transmitter) based communication protocol. Please refer to Inventronics Digital Dimming file for details

- Please refer to PRG-MUL2 (Programmer) datasheet for details.
