Installation and Wiring
Circuit Diagrams
The document includes circuit diagrams illustrating the connections for DALI/DSI and switchDIM interfaces. These diagrams show the primary (PRI) and secondary (SEC) sides, with connections for mains voltage (L, N), control signals (DA/N, DA/L), and LED outputs (e.g., [LED1+(HV)], [LED-], [LED2+(LV)], [NTC Sig], [NTC COM]).
Wiring Type and Cross Section
- Input Side: Use solid wire from 0.5 - 2.5 mm². Strip 10 - 11 mm of insulation.
- Output Side: Use solid wire from 0.2 - 1.5 mm². Strip 8.5 - 9.5 mm of insulation.
Wiring Guidelines
- Run secondary lines separately from mains connections for good EMC performance.
- Maximum secondary cable length (NTC, LED) is 2 m (4 m circuit).
- Keep LED wiring as short as possible for optimal EMC.
- Secondary switching is not permitted.
- The LED driver lacks inverse-polarity protection on the secondary side; incorrect polarity can damage LED modules.
- Incorrect wiring can lead to malfunction or irreparable damage.
- Protect wiring against short circuits to earth (e.g., sharp metal parts).
Hot Plug-in
Hot plug-in is not supported due to residual output voltage (> 0 V). Restart the device (via mains reset or interface) after connecting an LED load to activate the output.
Earth Connection
The earth connection functions as functional earth (FE). While not strictly required for driver functionality, an earth connection is recommended to improve electromagnetic interference (EMI) performance, reduce LED glowing at standby, and manage mains transients.
Installation Note
Maximum torque for clamping screws is 0.5 Nm / M4.

Detailed Functionality
LED Current Adjustment
The LED output current must be matched to the connected LED module and is limited by the device's current range. The priority for current adjustment methods is NFC / DALI (highest priority) followed by ready2mains (lowest priority).
corridorFUNCTION
This function allows for adaptive lighting control using a motion detector wired to the DA/N and DA/L terminals. It can be activated by applying 230V to these terminals. Optimal operation requires a sinusoidal mains voltage (50/60 Hz) with clear zero crossings. DALI programming and monitoring are also supported.
chronoSTEP (Virtual Midnight)
Designed for outdoor and street lighting, this feature dims lighting levels during night hours to conserve energy. It automatically measures lighting installation switch-on/off times over three days to establish a 'Virtual Midnight' point. The function supports 8 profiles, with 5 predefined by the factory and 3 programmable by the customer.
External Temperature Management (ETM + NTC)
ETM protects the LED module from thermal overstress. An external NTC sensor monitors the LED module temperature, and the driver limits the output current accordingly. If temperatures exceed predefined thresholds (T1, T2, T3), the output current is reduced or the device may shut down. The LED module's temperature is only measured when the output is active.
Enhanced Constant Light Output (eCLO)
This function maintains a consistent light output throughout the LED module's lifetime. It compensates for the natural decline in light output by gradually increasing the output current. Users can define up to eight data points (time, level) to create a specific compensation curve.
Light Level in DC Operation
The driver features integrated DC recognition for emergency light systems. It automatically switches to DC mode and dims to a defined DC level when emergency mode is detected via input voltage. This function is standard and requires no additional commissioning. The driver is designed for DC and pulsed DC voltage operation, with specific conditions outlined in the 'Operating window' section. The light output level in DC operation is programmable (5-100%, factory default 15%).
Intelligent Temperature Guard (ITG)
ITG safeguards the driver from thermal overheating by reducing output power or switching off if operating temperatures exceed luminaire or ballast thermal limits. It typically activates 5-10 °C above the case temperature (tc). Temperature threshold values can be adjusted via programming software, and the current ITG temperature can be read out.
inputDIM
This function enables dimming based on mains voltage variations between 170 and 250 V AC. Maximum and minimum dimming levels, along with their associated voltages, can be set individually. Intelligent Voltage Guard Plus (IVG+) has higher priority than inputDIM.
Power-up Fading
The power-up function allows customization of the device's behavior upon activation. The fading time for power-on can be adjusted from 0.2 to 16 seconds, controlling the ramp-up from 0% to the power-on level. The factory default has no fading time set.
Protective Features
- Overtemperature Protection: Reduces output current if temperature limits are exceeded (activated above tc max.). Deactivated in DC operation for emergency requirements.
- Short-circuit Behaviour: LED output is switched off in case of a short circuit. Restart required via mains reset or interface.
- No-load Operation: Driver is not damaged; output is deactivated and voltage-free. Restart required if an LED load is connected.
- Overload Protection: Turns off LED output if maximum load is exceeded. Restart required via mains reset or interface.
- Intelligent Voltage Guard Plus (IVG+): Manages unstable mains voltage and voltage peaks. Operates in undervoltage mode (dims down to 10%) between 192 V and 80 V. Shuts down above 280 V and restarts at 90 V (without reset) if below 80 V. Has higher priority than inputDIM.
- Insulation: The LED driver is double insulated.
Miscellaneous
Insulation and Electric Strength Testing
For luminaire production testing, an insulation test with 500 V DC for 1 second is recommended between phase/neutral and earth terminals. Insulation resistance must be at least 2 MΩ. High voltage tests (1500 V AC) should be avoided to prevent device damage.
Conditions of Use and Storage
- Humidity: 5% up to max. 85% (not condensed).
- Storage Temperature: -40 °C up to max. +80 °C.
- Devices must be acclimatised to the specified temperature range (ta) before operation.
Maximum Number of Switching Cycles
The LED drivers are tested with 50,000 switching cycles, with the achieved number typically being significantly higher.
