Catalog pages 75–85; specification revision 2026-02-04. Use the exact model and suffix when selecting wiring and operating conditions.

Output and model selection

Rated output current	700 mA.
Rated output power	100.1 W at 200–305 VAC; 70 W at 100–180 VAC. Use the static input-derating curve between these ranges.
Constant-current region	71–143 V. The highest usable output voltage depends on the LED/system configuration. Respect the rated power at the actual input voltage; contact MEAN WELL if compatibility is uncertain.
Maximum open-circuit voltage	149 V.
Current ripple and tolerance	Ripple: 5.0% maximum at rated current. Current tolerance: ±5.0%.
Exact function	Built-in smart timer dimming configured by user request.
IP rating	IP67. Follow the model-specific weather protection and connection-sealing requirements below; the rating does not permit immersion.
Order configuration	The DX timer profile is supplied by user request; confirm the required configuration. The catalog’s standard-option wording is not a live stock guarantee.

Input and performance

Input supply	100–305 VAC or 142–431 VDC; 47–63 Hz for AC. Low-input output derating applies.
Limited-duration input	The specification permits 320 VAC for 24 hours and 360 VAC for 1 hour. These limited-duration values do not extend the continuous 100–305 VAC rating.
Setup time	1000 ms at 115 VAC; 500 ms at 230 VAC. Measured at first cold start; repeated ON/OFF switching may increase setup time.
Efficiency	91% typical for this current rating.
Power factor	Built-in active PFC; PF ≥0.97 at 115 VAC, ≥0.95 at 230 VAC and ≥0.92 at 277 VAC, at full load.
Total harmonic distortion	THD <20% at load ≥50% on 115 VAC, ≥60% on 230 VAC, and ≥75% on 277 VAC.
AC input current	1.1 A at 115 VAC; 0.6 A at 230 VAC; 0.5 A at 277 VAC; typical.
Inrush current	Cold start: 40 A typical at 230 VAC; pulse width 760 μs measured at 50% of peak, per NEMA 410.
Circuit-breaker loading	Catalog maximum on a 16 A breaker at 230 VAC: 3 units on type B; 6 units on type C. Check the actual breaker and installation conditions.
Leakage current	<0.75 mA at 277 VAC.
Low-load consumption	No-load power consumption <0.5 W for this suffix.
Internal switching frequencies	PFC oscillator: 50–120 kHz; PWM oscillator: 60–130 kHz. These are internal converter frequencies.

Protection

Short-circuit protection	Hiccup mode; recovers automatically after the fault is removed.
Overvoltage protection	154–174 V; shuts down output voltage, with re-powering required for recovery.
Overtemperature protection	Shuts down output voltage; re-power to recover.

Control and dimming

Smart timer scope	Adaptive proportional current dimming for up to 14 consecutive operating hours. The following D01/D02/D03 profiles are catalog examples, not a guarantee of the profile supplied with this SKU. Confirm the required profile and programming procedure with MEAN WELL.
Timer profile examples	Elapsed time from power-on: D01 residential: 0–6 h 100%, 6–7 h 70%, 7–11 h 50%, 11–14 h 70%. D02 street: 0–1 h 50%, 1–3 h 80%, 3–8 h 100%, 8–11 h 60%, 11–14 h 80%. D03 tunnel: 0–1.5 h 70%, 1.5–11 h 100%, 11–14 h 70%. These are elapsed-time table values.

Temperature and reliability

Case temperature	Tcase −40 to +90°C; maximum case temperature +90°C. This is a case limit, not an ambient-temperature rating. Use the marked tc measuring point and the applicable load curve.
Cooling and load curves	Fanless free-air convection, in the recommended horizontal mounting direction. The ambient curve is 100% through +60°C, falling to 60% at +70°C. The Tcase curve is 100% through +90°C and ends there. The −40 to −25°C cold region is marked 230 VAC input only. Ambient and case limits must both be respected.
Input/load derating	At 60 Hz: 70% load from 100 to 180 VAC; rising to 100% at 200 VAC, then 100% through 305 VAC. Apply the exact wattage ratings as well.
Performance-plot conditions	PF plot: Tcase 80°C. THD and efficiency plots use the 350 mA model at Tcase 80°C; those illustrative curves do not replace this model’s tabulated typical efficiency.
Humidity and storage	Operating: 20–95% RH, non-condensing. Storage: −40 to +80°C, 10–95% RH.
Temperature coefficient	±0.03%/°C over 0–60°C.
Vibration	10–500 Hz, 5G; 12 minutes per cycle, 72 minutes along each X, Y and Z axis.
Altitude derating	For this fanless design, reduce the permissible ambient temperature by 3.5°C per 1000 m above 2000 m.
Life and warranty	Typical life expectancy exceeds 50,000 hours when the tc point is about 80°C or below, under the catalog conditions. Manufacturer catalog warranty: 5 years, subject to MEAN WELL’s warranty statement.
MTBF	3070.8 K hours minimum, Telcordia SR-332 (Bellcore); 300.7 K hours minimum, MIL-HDBK-217F at 25°C.

Surge immunity	Line–earth: 6 kV; line–line: 4 kV. Apply the installation and grounding requirements; this does not certify the complete luminaire.
ErP installation	Use behind a switch; do not permanently connect this driver to the mains, as stated by the catalog’s ErP note.
Specification conditions	Unless separately stated: 230 VAC input, rated current and 25°C ambient temperature. Verify the finished installation’s EMC performance again.
Installation safety	Disconnect the mains supply and prevent accidental reconnection before installation or maintenance. Have faults examined by a qualified technician; do not open the power-supply case yourself.
Ventilation and mounting	Keep ventilation clear and do not stack objects on the unit. Keep 10–15 cm clearance when the adjacent device is a heat source. Follow this model’s mounting, ambient-temperature and output-derating requirements.
System wiring and protection	Use approved primary and secondary wiring rated for at least the applicable unit current. Provide suitable system-level insulation and an enclosure around single-insulated wiring; verify EMC again in the completed system.
Environmental and load limits	Do not immerse the unit or install it near fire or above its specified ambient limit. Keep output current and power within the model’s rated operating envelope. If a fitted external flexible cable is damaged, replacement is limited to the manufacturer, its service agent or a similarly qualified person.
Connection seals and support	If waterproof connectors are fitted, secure their connections to prevent water entry. Verify the mounting structure and luminaire strength; use safety cables for bay-light applications.
Protective-earth installation	This version has a two-wire AC input. The catalog still requires the case to be connected to PE for complete EMC performance and safe use; follow the case-grounding instructions and consult MEAN WELL for the input-wiring option with PE.
