NOTE
  1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
  2. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12″ twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1uf & 47uf parallel capacitor.
  3. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
  4. Derating may be needed under low input voltage. Please check the static characteristics for more details.
  5. Output voltage can be adjusted through the SVR1 on the PCB; limit of output constant current level can be adjusted through the SVR2 on the PCB.
  6. Please refer to “DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE”.
  7. The power supply 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)
  8. Direct connecting to LEDs is suggested, but is not suitable for using additional drivers.
  9. To fulfill requirements of the latest ErP regulation for lighting fixtures, this LED power supply can only be used behind a switch without permanently connected to the mains.
  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. PLC-30-9 is used for any light source that exempt from the ErP-Directive (EU) 2019/2020 requirement, for example this model could be use for signalling products (including, but not limited to road-, railway-, marineorair traffic-signalling , traffic control or airfield lamps).

DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE

This LED power supply is suggested to working constant current mode area (CC)to drive the LEDs.

In the constant current region, the highest voltage at the output of the driver depends on the configuration of the end systems.
Should there be any compatibility issues, please contact MEAN WELL.
