PSU Installation, Set-up & Operation

Mounting:
Mount the power supply on a sound surface using appropriate 
fixings for the installation, mounting screw locations are located 
within the lid screw apertures – these must be used to retain the 
enclosure IP66 rating. Route mains cable though left hand M16 
cable gland, the three M12 cable glands are used for the LED 
power O/P’s and the remote input / output contacts (if used). 
Note: Any unused glands must be ‘plugged’ with supplied 
blanks and tightened to ensure IP66 protection.

Connections:
Attach correctly rated mains cable (minimum 0.5mm² [3A], 
300/500Vac) to the mains input connection. Connect the 
illuminators to the LED Output 1 & 2 connections, there are 2 
available to assist with connecting multiple units – note polarity. 
The remote input is triggered by connecting the input to 0V by 
a suitable N/C contact. The Remote Output ‘follower’ contact 
provides a N/C output when the output to the illumination 
unit(s) is in the ‘ON’ state, going N/O when power is removed.

Output Current Adjustment (Brightness):
Brightness of the illuminators can be adjusted by the user output 
current adjustment potentiometer Turning the pot clockwise 
using a small terminal screwdriver will increase the current (LEDs 
brighter), turning anticlockwise will reduce the current and 
therefore decrease the brightness of the illumination. Note: DO 
NOT force the potentiometer past its end points.

Setting ‘Switch-on’ Lux Level:
By adjusting the Lux Level potentiometer, the installer can 
set the external light level at which the PSU will switch on the 
illumination unit(s). Turning the pot clockwise using a small 
terminal screwdriver will increase the light level required before 
the unit turns on, anticlockwise will reduce the light level 
required. Setting the pot fully anti-clockwise will set the output 
to be on continuously while setting the potentiometer fully 
clockwise (indicated by the status LED flashing briefly) will set 
the PSU to ‘Remote Input’ mode where the unit will only turn 
on with the remote input activated. Note: DO NOT force the 
potentiometer past its end points.

The unit is only suitable for installation as permanently 
connected equipment. EQUIPMENT MUST BE EARTHED. Before 
installation, ensure that external disconnect device is OFF. 
The PSU should be installed according to all relevant safety 
regulations. The unit is intended for use by Service Personnel 
only - There are NO USER SERVICEABLE parts inside. There is no 
regular maintenance required of the PSU, if the output of the 
PSU fails, the cause of the failure should be investigated e.g. 
short circuit load. The fault should be rectified before restoring 
power to the PSU.
