Output and function

Rated output 1050 mA constant current; 155.4 W rated power.
Constant current region 74–148 V
Current accuracy Current ripple: 8% maximum at rated current. Current tolerance: ±5%.
Function and ingress rating AB type; IP65. Output current adjustable through the built-in potentiometer, plus 3-in-1 dimming using 1–10 VDC, 10 V PWM or resistance.
Current adjustment 525–1050 mA through the internal potentiometer (Io ADJ); output voltage adjustment is not specified.
LED load selection Constant current operation directly drives the LED load. The highest output voltage depends on the system configuration; contact MEAN WELL about load compatibility. A fixed nominal output voltage is not specified.
Dimming control Apply 1–10 VDC, a 10 V PWM signal at 100 Hz–3 kHz, or resistance between DIM+ and DIM−. The curves cover 10–100% output current. Resistance is 10–100 kΩ divided by N, where N is the number of synchronized drivers. Typical dimming source current: 100 µA.
Dimming wiring and off control DIM+ is purple and DIM− is pink. Do not connect DIM− to −V. Connect directly to LEDs; additional downstream drivers are not suitable. For 0% brightness, use the illustrated external mains switch and relay arrangement, or consult MEAN WELL for other options.
Availability and programs The datasheet labels this function option as a standard / in-stock type. This identifies the catalog option and does not promise current inventory.

Input and performance

Input range 90–305 VAC or 127–431 VDC; 47–63 Hz AC. Apply the static and temperature derating limits.
AC current and power factor Typical AC current: 1.6 / 0.8 / 0.7 A at 115 / 230 / 277 VAC. Typical full-load PF: ≥0.98 / ≥0.96 / ≥0.93 at the same voltages.
Efficiency and THD Typical efficiency: 94%. THD <20% at loads ≥50% at 115 and 230 VAC; 75% at 277 VAC.
Start-up and mains loading Set-up time: 1000 ms at 115 VAC; 500 ms at 230 VAC, measured at first cold start; repeated ON/OFF cycles may increase it. Typical cold-start inrush: 50 A; 600 µs pulse width at 50% Ipeak, 230 VAC, per NEMA 410. Maximum units on a 16 A B / C circuit breaker at 230 VAC: 4 / 6.
Leakage and conditions Leakage current <0.75 mA at 277 VAC. Unless otherwise stated, specifications are measured at 230 VAC, rated current and 25°C ambient. Separate rise-time, hold-up-time and idle-power values are not specified.

Protection

Short circuit Constant current limiting; automatic recovery after the short circuit is removed.
Overvoltage 165–175 V; shuts down output voltage, with automatic recovery or power-on recovery.
Overtemperature Shuts down the output; automatically recovers after cooling. If triggered at light load or no load, AC re-power is required.

Temperature and reliability

Case and ambient limits Operating case temperature: −40 to +90°C; maximum Tcase +90°C. Horizontal installation: 80% at −40°C, rising to 100% at −20°C; 100% load through +60°C ambient, then derate to 60% at +70°C. Case-temperature load curve: 80% at −40°C, rising to 100% at −20°C, then 100% through +90°C. Both limits apply; free-air convection cooling.
Input and altitude derating Static input curve: 80% at 90 VAC; 100% from 100 to 305 VAC (60 Hz). Above 2,000 m altitude, reduce the allowable ambient temperature by 3.5°C per 1,000 m for this fanless design.
Environmental limits Working humidity: 10–95% RH, non-condensing. Storage: −40 to +80°C, 10–95% RH. Temperature coefficient: ±0.03%/°C over 0–50°C. Vibration: 10–500 Hz, 5 G, 12 min/cycle for 72 min along each X, Y and Z axis.
Operating curves PFC switching frequency: 70 kHz; PWM switching frequency: 60 kHz. PF curves use Tc 80°C; THD and efficiency curves use the 700 mA model at Tc 80°C and distinguish 115, 230 and 277 VAC. Curve examples are not a guarantee of identical performance for every current option.
Life, reliability and warranty Typical lifetime >62,000 hours at Tc / TMP about 80°C or lower. The lifetime curve indicates approximately 100,000 h at Tc 20–75°C, 70,000 h at 80°C, 50,000 h at 85°C and 35,000 h at 90°C.

System integration The driver is a component; the final equipment manufacturer must re-qualify EMC with the complete installation. For the stated ErP luminaire requirement, use behind a mains switch instead of a permanent unswitched connection.

Accessories and applications

Optional waterproof connectors M12-04: four pins, 5 A per pin, 10 A maximum suitable current. M12-05: five pins, 5 A per pin, 10 A maximum suitable current. M15-02: two pins, 12 A per pin, 12 A maximum suitable current. Confirm voltage rating, pin use, wire size and environmental suitability before selection; current ratings alone do not establish compatibility.
Optional cable joiners CJ04-1 accepts 14–16 AWG; CJ04-2 accepts 18–22 AWG. Both ranges exclude the standard 17 AWG driver leads, so these are not confirmed direct-fit joiners for those leads. Drawing: 66 mm long, Ø25 mm, with 26 mm and 20 mm sections. Up to four wires may be joined by soldering or tool clamping. Purchase separately and confirm sealing and wire compatibility.
Applications Street, fishing lamp, harbor, building architectural, greenhouse and bay LED lighting.

Installation manual requirements

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 Connect the fitted FG/PE conductor to PE according to this Class I model’s wiring diagram.
Weather protection This IP65 model must be installed indoors or in a location sheltered from rain outdoors, as required by the installation manual. The IP rating does not permit immersion.
Controller installation Verify the compatibility and capacity of the controller for this exact interface. For standalone use with dimming conductors smaller than 18 AWG (0.75 mm²), use SELV controllers/networks; contact MEAN WELL for guidance before using FELV control. Follow this model’s control wiring.
Dimming isolation The installation manual lists this HLG-60H–320H-C family’s analog dimming circuit as not isolated from the secondary circuit. Follow the specified DIM wiring and controller requirements.

Confirm the exact LED load, operating temperature, control interface and installation requirements against the linked datasheet and manual before commissioning.
