Test conditions and notes13
  1. 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated current and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
  2. 2. Output hiccups under no-load condition.
  3. 3. Please refer to “DRIVER METHODS OF LED MODULE”.
  4. 4. De-rating may be need under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
  5. 5. 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.
  6. 6. Efficiency is measured at 800mA/50V output set by ETS database.
  7. 7. Standby power consumption is measured at 230VAC.
  8. 8. Flicker is measured at full load with the light source provided by MEAN WELL.
  9. 9. 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.

FAQ

Can the XLC-40-H-KNS drive LED downlights integrated into a KNX building control system?

Yes, the XLC-40-H-KNS is designed for KNX system integration and accepts dimming commands from a KNX bus controller. With 40W constant current output and a 600mA default current, it can power LED downlights in addressable KNX zones, dimming smoothly down to a minimum level of 0.5%.

Is the XLC-40-H-KNS appropriate for powering small LED arrays in KNX-controlled retail display lighting?

The XLC-40-H-KNS can support small LED arrays where the total load is within 40W and the LED forward voltages sum to between 9V and 54V. In KNX retail environments, it enables scene-based brightness control directly from the KNX panel without additional dimming hardware.

What is the purpose of the strain-relief fitting on the XLC-40-H-KNS?

The strain-relief fitting on the XLC-40-H-KNS mechanically secures the output cable at the driver housing, preventing connector stress from cable tension, vibration, or movement during and after installation. This is particularly useful in installations where cables are routed through conduit or the driver is mounted in a position where output cables may experience mechanical load. The XLC-40-H-KN is the same driver without this fitting.

Can the XLC-40-H-KNS be mounted inside a luminaire housing or ceiling recess?

Yes, the XLC-40-H-KNS is rated for built-in installation inside a luminaire or enclosure. Its operating temperature range of -25°C to +90°C is appropriate for the elevated ambient conditions common inside enclosed ceiling fittings. It is not rated for direct exposure to moisture or outdoor environments without a separate enclosure.

What LED load voltage range is the XLC-40-H-KNS compatible with?

The XLC-40-H-KNS operates as a constant current driver with a CC output voltage range of 9–54V. It is compatible with LED arrays whose forward voltages sum within this range at the selected drive current. The number of LEDs that can be driven depends on the forward voltage of each LED, so verify Vf for your specific LED load.

Can I adjust the drive current on the XLC-40-H-KNS, and what range is available?

Yes, the XLC-40-H-KNS allows output current adjustment from 600mA to 1400mA via the ETS database. Current is set digitally during commissioning. This range provides flexibility to match different LED loads without replacing the driver.
