LED Power Supply Usage Guide


Pre-installation Preparations

  • Voltage Matching: Check if the input voltage of the access power supply matches the input voltage of the LED power supply, which may vary across countries (e.g., 110V, 220V, 230V).
  • Environment Selection: Choose a well-ventilated location to install the power supply to ensure proper heat dissipation.
  • Safety Protection: Install the power supply in a location inaccessible to humans to prevent electric shock hazards. Follow professional construction requirements for leakage protection, grounding, and lightning protection facilities.

Installation Steps

  • Power Wiring: Carefully check and align the terminal +/- symbols to ensure correct connection of the input AC and output DC ends. Properly insulate exposed wires and connection points.
  • Power Spacing: Maintain at least 20 cm distance between power supplies to prevent interference. Keep the air inlet and outlet unobstructed for proper heat dissipation.
  • Fixing the Power Supply: Install according to the designated fixing holes and do not modify them.
  • Final Check: After installation, re-check to ensure all wiring is correct.

Debugging and Operation

  • Voltage Check: Before powering on, use a multimeter to check if the input voltage matches the operating voltage.
  • Current Determination: Measure the output current of the power supply with a standard multimeter to ensure it operates within the designed current range.
  • Power Matching: Calculate the power value based on the rated current and voltage of the connected device. Select a power supply with a design power greater than the actual demand and peak power by 15-30%.
  • Protection Features: Ensure the power supply has short-circuit, overvoltage, and overcurrent protection to improve safety and reliability.

Maintenance and Servicing

  • Regular Inspection: Regularly inspect the power supply's connecting cables, plugs, and sockets for signs of aging or damage.
  • Moisture and Dust Protection: Place the power supply in a dry, well-ventilated environment to avoid moisture and dust intrusion.
  • Temperature Monitoring: Monitor the power supply's operating temperature to avoid overheating that can degrade performance or cause damage.
  • Load Control: Control the power supply's utilization rate, generally keeping it below 80% or lower to extend its lifespan.

Precautions

  • Professional Operation: Installation, debugging, maintenance, and servicing of the LED power supply should be performed by professionals to ensure safety and quality.
  • Compliance with Standards: Follow relevant specifications and standards during use to ensure the power supply operates normally and safely.
  • Timely Repairs: If the power supply exhibits faults or abnormalities, repair or replace it promptly to avoid damage to equipment or safety hazards.
