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.
