Packungsinhalt
Vergewissern Sie sich vor Beginn der Installation, dass alle Komponenten vorhanden sind:
- 1 x Tridonic Linear Essence Series 43W Constant Current LED Driver (Model: TLD-CC43W-UNV-LE2)
Setup und Installation
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.

- Eingangsleistung (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 von 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.
- 0-10 V Dimmsteuerung: 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%.
- Erdung: 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.

Bedienungsanleitung
Once installed and wired correctly, the Tridonic LED driver operates automatically. The primary control is through the 0-10V dimming interface.
- Ein-/Ausschalten: The LED driver will power on when AC input voltage wird geliefert.
- Dimmen: 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.
Wartung
The Tridonic LED driver is designed for long-term, maintenance-free operation. However, periodic checks can help ensure continued performance.
- Reinigung: 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.
- Verbindungen: Periodically inspect all wiring connections to ensure they remain secure. Loose connections can lead to intermittent operation or electrical hazards.
- Umfeld: Verify that the operating environment remains within the specified temperature and humidity ranges (Dry and Damp Location, IP20).
Fehlerbehebung
If you encounter issues with your LED driver, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Mögliche Ursache | Lösung |
|---|---|---|
| LEDs leuchten nicht | No input power; Incorrect wiring; Faulty LED module; Driver protection activated. | Check power supply; Verify all wiring connections (L, N, G, LED+, LED-); Test LED module; Cycle power to reset driver protection. |
| LEDs flickering or unstable dimming | Loose connections; Incompatible dimmer; Dimming wires incorrectly connected. | Check all wiring connections; Ensure 0-10V dimmer is compatible; Verify 0-10V+ and 0-10V- connections. |
| Driver is hot to the touch | Unzureichende Belüftung; Überlastung. | Ensure adequate airflow around the driver; Verify total LED load does not exceed 43W. |
| Dimming range not 10-100% | Dimmer incompatibility; Dimmer settings. | Confirm dimmer is fully compatible with 0-10V standard; Check dimmer's minimum/maximum settings. |
