Output specifications

Model and version	HLN-80H-20B; HLN-80H series, B type.
Rated output	20 V DC; 4 A rated current; 80 W rated power. Observe all three model-specific limits.
Output load range	0–4 A in the constant-voltage operating region; this load range is separate from the constant-current setting and dimming range.
Constant-current region	12–20 V DC. The typical I–V diagram shows constant-current operation down to 60% of rated voltage and hiccup protection below this region. The highest output voltage in CC operation depends on the end-system configuration; contact MEAN WELL if compatibility is uncertain.
Voltage tolerance	±1%, including setup tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
Line and load regulation	Line: ±0.5%; load: ±1%.
Ripple and noise	150 mVp-p maximum; measured at 20 MHz bandwidth with a 12-inch twisted-pair wire terminated by 0.1 µF and 47 µF capacitors in parallel.

Adjustment and LED connection

Dimming interface	B type only: apply a resistance, 1–10 V DC or a 10 V PWM signal between DIM+ and DIM− to adjust the constant-current level. DIM+ is purple and DIM− is pink. Do not connect DIM− to the negative power output (−V).
Resistance dimming	Typical reference: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100 kΩ correspond respectively to 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100% of rated current for one driver. For N drivers in synchronized dimming operation, use the corresponding resistance divided by N (10 kΩ/N through 100 kΩ/N).
Voltage dimming	Typical reference: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 V DC correspond respectively to 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100% of rated current.
PWM dimming	10 V PWM signal, 100 Hz–3 kHz. Typical reference: duty cycles of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100% correspond respectively to the same percentages of rated current.
Open dimming circuit	The typical tables specify 95–108% of rated current with the dimming input open. They do not specify a guaranteed zero-current setting.
Full-off switching	Built-in B-type dimming cannot turn the lighting fixture completely dark. Use the external switch-and-relay connection shown in the catalog to turn the fixture ON/OFF and achieve 0% brightness. Dimming remains connected across DIM+ and DIM−; the relay switches the supply as shown. The HLN-80H relay example labels its adjuster 0–100 kΩ, but the current-reference table covers 10–100 kΩ; this does not establish dim-to-off at 0 Ω.
B-type LED connection	For the illustrated B-type dimming application, connect directly to LEDs; the catalog states that using additional drivers is not suitable. Do not treat the separate generic CV illustration as approval for an added driver in this dimming circuit.

Input and operating performance

Input voltage and frequency	90–305 V AC or 127–431 V DC; AC frequency 47–63 Hz. Observe low-input derating.
Power factor	Built-in active PFC. Typical: >0.96 at 115 V AC, >0.96 at 230 V AC and >0.94 at 277 V AC, at full load.
Total harmonic distortion	<20% with output loading ≥60% at 115/230 V AC input, or ≥75% at 277 V AC input.
Efficiency	90% typical under the standard specification conditions.
AC input current	Typical: 0.85 A at 115 V AC, 0.425 A at 230 V AC and 0.4 A at 277 V AC.
Inrush current	70 A typical at cold start with 230 V AC input; pulse width 485 µs measured at 50% of peak current.
Leakage current	<0.75 mA at 277 V AC.
Setup and rise time	B type: setup 1200 ms at 115 V AC or 500 ms at 230 V AC; rise 200 ms at both inputs, at 95% load. Setup is measured at the first cold start; repeated power ON/OFF may increase setup time.
Hold-up time	16 ms typical at full load, with either 115 or 230 V AC input.
Switching frequency	100 kHz, as shown in the block diagram.

Protection functions

Overcurrent protection	95–108%; constant-current limiting with automatic recovery after the fault condition is removed.
Short-circuit protection	Hiccup mode; automatic recovery after the fault condition is removed.
Overvoltage protection	23–30 V; output voltage shuts down. Reapply power to recover.
Overtemperature protection	Output voltage shuts down. Reapply power to recover.

Environment and derating

Operating temperature and derating	−40 to +50°C ambient, subject to derating. The horizontal-installation curve shows full load through +40°C, then approximately 60% load at +50°C. The −40 to −25°C portion is specified for 230 V AC input only. Cooling is by free-air convection.
Low-input derating	The 60 Hz static-characteristics curve shows approximately 80% load at 90 V AC, rising to 100% at 100 V AC and remaining at 100% through 305 V AC.
High-altitude derating	For this fanless supply, reduce the permitted ambient temperature by 3.5°C per 1000 m above 2000 m (6500 ft).
Humidity and storage	Operating: 20–95% RH, non-condensing. Storage: −40 to +80°C and 10–95% RH.
Temperature coefficient	±0.03%/°C over 0–40°C.
Vibration	10–500 Hz, 2 G; 12 minutes per cycle, 72 minutes each along X, Y and Z.
Performance curves	The power-factor curve is for constant-current mode and is labeled 80 W. Efficiency-versus-load curves are for the 48 V model at 115/230/277 V AC; use this model’s own typical efficiency rating rather than assigning the 48 V graph to every output variant.

Specification conditions	Unless otherwise stated, values are measured at 230 V AC input, rated load and 25°C ambient. System performance remains subject to the specified thermal, loading and installation conditions.

Installation guidance

Installation isolation and service	Disconnect the supply from the mains before installation or maintenance and prevent unintended reconnection. Have faults checked by a qualified technician; do not open the case. A damaged flexible cable must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or a similarly qualified person.
Ventilation, mounting and weather protection	Keep ventilation clear and do not stack objects on the unit. Maintain 10–15 cm clearance when an adjacent device is a heat source. Follow this HLN model’s mounting and derating diagrams. Locate the IP64 unit indoors or sheltered from rain outdoors; do not immerse it in water. Check that the mounting surface and luminaire structure can support the installation, and use safety cables for bay lighting applications.
Wiring and system enclosure	Use approved input and output wiring with current ratings at least equal to the applicable unit current. Connect the fitted green/yellow FG lead to PE. Provide insulation around system interconnections and cover single-insulated wiring with the system enclosure; keep output current and power within the model ratings and derating limits.
EMC integration	Reverify EMC in the finished equipment with the connected load and actual wiring and assembly. The linked EMI guidance describes representative component-power-supply tests; its illustrated distances are test arrangements, not installation clearances.
Circuit-breaker reference	At 230 V AC, the installation manual gives calculated maximum quantities for HLN-80H with ABB S200-series breakers: B10 2, B16 3, C10 3, C16 6, D10 7 and D16 12. These counts apply to that stated breaker and voltage reference.
Dimming-controller compatibility	The HLN dimming circuit is not isolated from the secondary output. Use a controller compatible with this B version’s DIM interface and follow its model-specific dimming and switching diagrams.
