Test conditions and notes9
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated current and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
- 2. De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
- 3. Length of set up time is measured at first cold start. Turning ON/OFF the driver may lead to increase of the set up time.
- 4. Efficiency is measured at 500mA/80V output set by DIP switch.
- 5. Current ripple is measured 60%~100% of maximum voltage under rated power delivery.
- 6. Standby power consumption is measured at 180~230VAC.
- 7. The driver is considered as a component that will be operated in combination with final equipment. Since EMC performance will be affected by the complete installation, the final equipment manufacturers must re-qualify EMC Directive on the complete installation again. (as available on https://www.meanwell.com//Upload/PDF/EMI_statement_en.pdf)
- 8. To fulfill requirements of the latest ErP regulation for lighting fixtures, this LED driver can only be used behind a switch without permanently connected to the mains.
- 9. The ambient temperature derating of 3.5℃/1000m with fanless models and of 5℃/1000m with fan models for operating altitude higher than 2000m(6500ft).

FAQ
Can I use the LCM-40 for higher-power LED downlights?
Yes, the LCM-40 is a constant current LED driver rated at 42W with a 700mA default output. At 700mA its CC range is 2-57V, and the DIP switch lets you select 350mA to 1050mA for LED downlights that need a different drive current.
Is the LCM-40 suitable for larger signage LED modules?
It can be suitable when the signage modules are built for constant current operation rather than constant voltage. This model delivers 700mA across a 2-57V CC range by default and is rated at 42W, with other current levels from 350mA to 1050mA selectable by DIP switch.
Can the LCM-40 power a small or mid-size LED array?
Yes, the LCM-40 is designed for constant current LED loads and is rated at 42W. With a 2-57V output range at the 700mA default, and ranges from 2-100V at 350mA to 2-40V at 1050mA, it can be matched to a range of constant current LED arrays.
How do I check compatibility for the LCM-40?
Confirm that your LEDs require a constant current driver and that their total forward voltage stays within the CC output range of the selected current: 2-57V at the 700mA default (2-100V at 350mA down to 2-40V at 1050mA). The number of LEDs depends on the forward voltage of each LED, so compatibility should be based on forward-voltage total rather than a fixed LED count or constant voltage assumption.
