Installazione è installazione
Follow these steps for proper installation of your Tridonic LED Driver. Ensure power is disconnected before proceeding.
1. Mounting the Driver
Mount the LED driver securely in a suitable enclosure or fixture. Ensure the mounting surface is stable and can support the weight of the driver. Allow for adequate space around the driver for air circulation to prevent overheating.

2. Wiring Connections
Refer to the wiring diagram on the driver label and the instructions below for correct electrical connections. Use appropriate wire gauges for all connections.

Figura 2: Detailed view of the Tridonic LED driver's wiring terminals. This image provides a close-up of the input (AC Line, Neutral, Ground) and output (LED positive/negative, 0-10V dimming control) connections, which are clearly labeled on the driver's casing.
- Potenza di input (AC): Connect the AC line (L), neutral (N), and ground (G) wires from your power source to the corresponding terminals on the driver. The driver supports a rated supply voltage di 120-277 V AC.
- LED Output (DC): Connect the LED positive (LED+) and LED negative (LED-) wires from your LED module to the corresponding output terminals on the driver. Ensure correct polarity.
- Control di Dimming 0-10V: Connect the 0-10V dimming control wires (0-10V+ and 0-10V-) from your dimming system to the dedicated dimming terminals. This allows for dimming from 10% to 100%.
- Messa a terra: Ensure the driver casing is properly grounded.
3. Output Current Adjustment (DIP Switches)
The driver features adjustable output current settings (915mA or 1,000mA) via DIP switches. Refer to the driver's label for the specific DIP switch configuration to select your desired output current. Adjust these settings before applying power.
Guida Video Installazione
For a visual guide on wiring and installation, please refer to the official Tridonic Switch Series LED Drivers video below. This video demonstrates the connection process for similar Tridonic drivers, providing helpful visual cues for proper wiring.

Istruzzioni di funziunamentu
Once installed and wired correctly, the Tridonic LED driver operates automatically. The primary control is through the 0-10V dimming interface.
- Accensione / spegnimentu: The LED driver will power on when AC input voltage hè furnitu.
- Dimora: Use a compatible 0-10V dimmer connected to the dimming terminals to adjust the light output from 10% to 100%. A 0V signal typically corresponds to the minimum dimming level (10%), and a 10V signal corresponds to 100% light output.
Mantenimentu
The Tridonic LED driver is designed for long-term, maintenance-free operation. However, periodic checks can help ensure continued performance.
- Pulizia: Ensure the driver's exterior is free from dust and debris to maintain proper heat dissipation. Clean with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners.
- Cunnessioni: Periodically inspect all wiring connections to ensure they remain secure. Loose connections can lead to intermittent operation or electrical hazards.
- Ambiente: Verify that the operating environment remains within the specified temperature and humidity ranges (Dry and Damp Location, IP20).
