Product Usage Instructions
Installation
1. Ensure the power source matches the input voltage range
specified for the LED driver.
2. Connect the driver to the LED module following the correct
polarity.
Adjusting Output Current
1. For HLG-185H-C500, adjust the output current between 250mA
and 500mA using the internal potentiometer.
2. Repeat the same process for other models within their
specified current ranges.
Dimming Operation
1. Use the DIM+ and DIM- terminals for dimming functionality.
Apply one of the three methodologies: 1 ~ 10VDC, 10V PWM signal, or
resistance.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. How do I know if there are compatibility issues with my LED
system?
If you encounter any compatibility issues with your LED system,
please contact MEAN WELL for assistance.
2. Can I adjust the output current for all models?
The output current can be adjusted using the internal
potentiometer, but this feature is available only for A/AB type
drivers.
3. What is the dimming function of the HLG-185H-C series?
The HLG-185H-C series offers a 3-in-1 dimming function that
allows adjustment of the constant current level through various
methodologies.

1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated current and 25 of ambient temperature.
2. Please refer to “DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE”.
3. De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
4. Length of set up time is measured at first cold start. Turning ON/OFF the driver may lead to increase of the set up time. 5. The driver is considered as a component that will be operated in combination with final equipment. Since EMC performance will be affected by the
complete installation, the final equipment manufacturers must re-qualify EMC Directive on the complete installation again.
(as available on https://www.meanwell.com//Upload/PDF/EMI_statement_en.pdf)
6. To fulfill requirements of the latest ErP regulation for lighting fixtures, this LED driver can only be used behind a switch without permanently
connected to the mains.
7. For OTP which triggered at light load/no load condition, proceed AC repower on to recovery. 8. This series meets the typical life expectancy of >62,000 hours of operation when Tcase, particularly tc point (or TMP, per DLC), is about 75 or less.
9. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL’s website at http://www.meanwell.com. 10. The ambient temperature derating of 3.5/1000m with fanless models and of 5/1000m with fan models for operating altitude higher than 2000m(6500ft).
11. For any application note and IP water proof function installation caution, please refer our user manual before using.

DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE
This series works in constant current mode to directly drive the LEDs.
In the constant current region, the highest voltage at the output of the driver
100
depends on the configuration of the end systems.
Should there be any compatibility issues, please contact MEAN WELL.
