Output and function

Rated output 350 mA constant current; 149.8 W rated power.
Constant current region 42–428 V. Select the LED load within this range; the highest output voltage depends on the system configuration. Contact MEAN WELL for compatibility questions.
Current accuracy Current tolerance: ±5%. Current ripple: 8% maximum at rated current. Ripple is measured between 50% and 100% of maximum voltage under rated power delivery.
Function and ingress rating A type; IP65. Output current adjustable through the built-in potentiometer.
Current adjustment 210–350 mA through the built-in Io ADJ potentiometer; output voltage adjustment is not specified.
LED connection This series operates in constant current mode to drive LEDs directly. The exact current option and function suffix determine the operating limits.
Catalog option The datasheet identifies this as a standard / in-stock function option. This is a catalog classification, not a promise of current inventory.

Input and performance

Input range 180–528 VAC or 254–747 VDC; 47–63 Hz AC. Apply the voltage-specific thermal limits.
AC current and power factor Typical AC current: 0.5 A at 347 VAC; 0.38 A at 480 VAC. Full-load typical PF: ≥0.98 / ≥0.97 / ≥0.95 / ≥0.93 at 230 / 277 / 347 / 480 VAC.
Efficiency and harmonic distortion Typical efficiency: 91%. THD <20% at loads ≥50% at 230, 277 and 347 VAC; 75% at 480 VAC.
Set-up time 500 ms at 230 VAC; 400 ms at 347 and 480 VAC. Measured at first cold start; repeated power cycling may increase set-up time.
Mains loading Typical cold-start inrush: 35 A; 790 µs pulse width measured at 50% Ipeak at 480 VAC, per NEMA 410. Maximum units on a 16 A type B / type C circuit breaker at 480 VAC: 4 / 6.
Leakage and measurement conditions Leakage current <0.75 mA at 480 VAC. Unless otherwise stated, specifications use 347 VAC, rated output current and 25°C ambient. Separate rise-time, hold-up-time and idle-power values are not stated.

Protection

Short circuit Constant current limiting; automatic recovery when the fault is removed.
Overvoltage 430–460 V; shuts down output voltage, with automatic recovery or re-power recovery.
Overtemperature Shuts down output voltage; automatic recovery after the temperature falls.

Temperature and reliability

Case and ambient limits Operating case temperature: −40 to +80°C, with maximum Tcase +80°C. Horizontal installation: 100% load from −40 to +60°C ambient, then derate to 60% at +70°C. The case-temperature load curve shows 100% from −40 to +80°C. Meet both case and ambient limits; free-air convection cooling.
Input and altitude derating At 60 Hz: 80% load at 180 VAC, increasing to 100% at 200 VAC, then 100% through 528 VAC. Above 2,000 m altitude, reduce allowable ambient temperature by 3.5°C per 1,000 m for this fanless design.
Environment Working humidity: 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, 5 G, 12 min/cycle, 72 min along each X, Y and Z axis.
Operating curves PFC switching frequency 130 kHz; PWM switching frequency 70 kHz. PF curves use Tc 70°C; THD and efficiency examples use the 350 mA model at Tc 70°C, distinguishing 230, 277, 347 and 480 VAC. These examples do not guarantee identical performance for every current option.
Life and reliability Typical lifetime >50,000 hours at Tc / TMP about 80°C or lower. The lifetime graph indicates approximately 100,000 h at Tc 20–70°C, 70,000 h at 75°C and 50,000 h at 80°C. MTBF: 1755.7K hours minimum, Telcordia SR-332 (Bellcore); 179.5K hours minimum, MIL-HDBK-217F at 25°C.

Safety and EMC

Electrical classification Metal Class I design requiring protective earth. This electrical protection class is distinct from any hazardous-location designation.
Safety standards UL 8750 Type HL; CSA C22.2 No. 250.0-08; TUV BS EN/EN 61347-1 and 61347-2-13; EAC TP TC 004.

System integration The driver is a component; final equipment manufacturers must re-qualify EMC for the complete installation. For the stated ErP luminaire requirement, use behind a mains switch without a permanent unswitched mains connection. The product is intended for North American and EU lighting equipment; contact MEAN WELL for other uses.

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 sealing; current ratings alone do not establish compatibility with high-voltage output.
Optional cable joiners CJ04-1 accepts 14–16 AWG; CJ04-2 accepts 18–22 AWG. The standard 18 AWG output falls within CJ04-2’s wire range, not CJ04-1’s. This is a wire-size comparison only; verify all connection and sealing requirements. Joiner 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. The optional junction-box drawing has 14 AWG output, which instead falls within CJ04-1’s stated wire range.
Applications LED street, high-bay, parking-space and fishing-lamp 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 model is IP65 and 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.

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