Product Overview
This document provides instructions for the installation of RAB LED drivers, specifically models TID-60, TID-96, and TOD-96. It covers important safety information, dimensional drawings, wiring options, and specifications.
Important Safety Information
READ CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING FIXTURE. RETAIN THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
RAB fixtures must be wired in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes. Proper grounding is required for safety. THIS PRODUCT MUST BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE APPLICABLE INSTALLATION CODE BY A PERSON FAMILIAR WITH THE CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF THE PRODUCT AND THE HAZARDS INVOLVED.
- The operation instruction does not supersede federal, state, local, or (inter) national laws, regulations, rules, ordinances, and codes that may apply to electrical installations.
- The installation and electrical connection process must be operated by a professional electrician using the applicable and appropriate electrical codes.
- Installation, usage and storage must occur in the environment within the temperature range (usually -20~45°C for installation & usage and -20~60°C for storage) indicated on the product datasheet of the tape light.
- Turn off the power supply before wiring, assembly, processing, cleaning, maintenance, etc, and ensure all wiring and polarities are correct before powering on.
- To reduce the voltage drop as much as possible, the wire length between tape light and power supply should be as short as possible.
- Considering the reliability of the LED power supply, it's recommended to use the loading powers not exceed 80% of its rated output power.
- This product may not be treated as household waste, dispose of the material through the waste recycling of electrical and electronic equipment.

Wiring
Option 1: use TID-60 or TID-96 driver with non-dimming.
Connect Live and Neutral to the INPUT terminals. Connect LED + and - to the +24V terminals of the LED tape light.
Option 2: use TID-60 or TID-96 driver with TRIAC dimming
(Use the compatible phase dimmer in XDIM, or Lightcloud Blue phase dimmer in XDIM/LCB or XDIM/LCBS.)
Connect Live and Neutral to the INPUT terminals. Connect the Load from the dimmer to the LED terminals. Connect the Ground wire.
| Wire Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Input Wire | Gauge 16-20 AWG |
| Output Wire | Gauge 18-22 AWG |
Notes:
- This driver is compatible with both leading edge and trailing edge triac dimmer.
- This driver should be installed by qualified and professional person.
- Please make sure the driver is installed in ventilation environment for good heat dissipation.
- For avoiding driver damage, please make sure the electric wiring is correct before testing.
Option 3: use TOD-96 driver with non-dimming.
Connect White wire (N) to Neutral, Black wire (L) to Live. Connect Red wire (+) to LED +, Black wire (-) to LED -.
Option 4: use TOD-96 driver with TRIAC dimming
(Use the compatible phase dimmer in XDIM, or Lightcloud Blue phase dimmer in XDIM/LCB or XDIM/LCBS.)
Connect White wire (N) to Neutral, Black wire (L) to Live. Connect Red wire (+) to LED +, Black wire (-) to LED -. Connect the dimmer load to the DIM terminals (Purple for DIM+, Pink for DIM-).
Notes:
- This driver is compatible with both leading edge and trailing edge triac dimmer.
- This driver should be installed by qualified and professional person.
- Please make sure the driver is installed in ventilation environment for good heat dissipation.
- For avoiding driver damage, please make sure the electric wiring is correct before testing.
- Although the waterproof level of the LED driver can reach the wet location in IP65, considering the safety of wiring, it is required that the LED driver should not be directly exposed to outdoor environments that are soaked in rain or water, and should be shielded, such as being placed in a power box.
Option 5: use TOD-96 driver with 0-10V/1-10V/10V PWM/Potentiometer dimming.
Connect White wire (N) to Neutral, Black wire (L) to Live. Connect Red wire (+) to LED +, Black wire (-) to LED -. Connect the dimmer to the DIM+ and DIM- terminals.
Notes:
- Dimming interface characteristics: 0.9V and below are closed, 1V is the darkest, 10V is the brightest, 1-10V is the dimming range.
- The dimming interface distinguishes between positive and negative, DIM+ is positive, DIM- is negative, please do not reverse.
- Dimming interface does not support voltage access higher than 20V, otherwise it will cause damage to the internal components.
- When the dimming interface is open, the driver outputs the maximum current. When the interface is short-circuited, the current output is closed.
- When multiple synchronous dimming is required, the positive poles of the dimming interface of each driver are connected together, and the negative poles are connected together.
- Support passive dimmer or isolated active dimmer dimming, does not support non-isolated active dimmer dimming.
- In general, it is recommended that the number of drivers connected in parallel under the same dimmer does not exceed 30pcs, and the Max. wiring length of dimming wires do not exceed 328ft.
- It is recommended that the dimming wires should not be lower than the 22AWG wire.
- Do not put the dimming wires with high voltage or interference sources. If it is unavoidable, please use the shielded wires.
- Although the waterproof level of the LED driver can reach the wet location in IP65, considering the safety of wiring, it is required that the LED driver should not be directly exposed to outdoor environments that are soaked in rain or water, and should be shielded, such as being placed in a power box.
