LC60DS-DA-700-1400 LED driver is suited for built-in usage in luminaires. With external strain relief (LC-SRC) independent use is possible 
too. In order to have safe and reliable LED driver operation, the LED luminaires will need to comply with the relevant standards and 
regulations (e.g. IEC/EN 60598-1). The LED luminaire shall be designed to adequately protect the LED driver from dust, moisture and 
pollution. The luminaire manufacturer is responsible for the correct choice and installation of the LED drivers according to the application 
and product datasheets. Operating conditions of the LED drivers may never exceed the specifications as per the product datasheet. 

Installation & operation

Maximum ambient and t

c

 temperature

•  For built-in components inside luminaires,

 the 

t

a

 

ambient 

temperature range is a guideline given for the optimum 
operating environment. However, integrator must always 
ensure proper thermal management (i.e. mounting base of the 
driver, air flow etc.) so that the 

t

c

 point temperature does not 

exceed the 

t

c

 maximum limit in any circumstance.

•  Reliable operation and lifetime is only guaranteed if the 

maximum  t

c

 point temperature is not exceeded under the 

conditions of use.

Current setting via dip-switch

LC60DS-DA-700-1400 LED driver features a constant current output 
adjustable via Dip-switch combinations

•  For the combination/current values, refer to the table on page 4.

Emergency use

•  The product can be continuously operated only with AC, the DC is 

reserved only for emergency usage.

Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCB)

•  Type-C MCB’s with trip characteristics in according to EN 60898 

are recommended.

•  Please see more details in “MCB information” document in each 

driver product page in “downloads & links” section.

Installation site

•  The general preferred installation position of LED drivers for 

independent use is to have the top cover facing upwards.

Lamp failure functionality

No load

When open load is detected, driver goes to standby and recovers 
through mains reset.

Overload

When overload is detected, driver goes to standby mode and recover 
after mains reset.

Short circuit

Driver can withstand output short circuit and after resolving the 
fault, driver recovers after mains reset.

Push to Fade

Push to Fade solution includes additional fading behavior, which 
provides smooth transition between on and off states. Please note 
that Push to Fade is not compatible to be installed in the same circuit 
with Helvar Switch-Control or Switch-Control 2 devices.

Always before  installation and for troubleshoot and guidance, 
refer to the user guide at www.helvar.com.

Use of Push to Fade functionality

•  Maximum numbers of LED drivers to be connected to one 

switch is 30.  

•  Ensure that all components connected to Push to Fade circuitry 

are mains rated.

•  The transition between 0 to 100% (when turned ON / OFF) is ~ 

1 second.
