Control and dimming
| Parameter |
Specification |
| Dimming interface |
3-in-1 control between DIM+ and DIM−: 0–10 VDC, external 10 V PWM at 300 Hz–3 kHz, or resistance 0–100 kΩ. For N synchronized drivers, the resistance scale is 100 kΩ/N. Dimming source current: 100 μA typical. |
| Dimming limits |
Minimum dimming level is about 8%; output below 8% and above 0% is undefined. Dim-to-off is available with approximately 0 VDC, 0 kΩ or a 10 V PWM control signal at 0% duty cycle. |
| Dimming connection |
Do not connect DIM− to output −V. Direct LED connection is recommended; the driver is not intended for use with additional drivers. |
| Output PWM waveform |
4 kHz fixed typical output PWM frequency. Brightness is adjusted by varying output duty cycle; this output waveform is distinct from an external PWM control input. |

Thermal and environmental limits
| Parameter |
Specification |
| Cooling and ambient limits |
Free-air convection; horizontal mounting for the published load curves. At 110 VAC: 100% load from −25°C to +40°C ambient. At 230 VAC: 100% load from −25°C to +45°C ambient. The corresponding curves stop at these limits; do not infer operation beyond them. |
| Case temperature |
Tcase −25 to +90°C; maximum +90°C at the designated tc point. This case-temperature limit is not an ambient-temperature rating. |
| Input/load derating |
At 60 Hz: 80% load at 100 VAC, rising to 100% at 110 VAC; 100% through 305 VAC. Apply the temperature and voltage limits together. |
| Altitude derating |
Above 2000 m, reduce permitted ambient temperature by 3.5°C per additional 1000 m for this fanless driver. |

Confirm the complete ordering reference and fit with MEAN WELL; the printed asterisks must not be expanded by guesswork. |
Use the drawing for this casing and control option. Match the LED load to the specified output, observe terminal polarity and conductor size, and provide the free-air-convection conditions used by the load curves. Check the tc point in the completed installation and requalify final-equipment EMC.
