Test conditions and notes9
  1. 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated current and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
  2. 2. De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
  3. 3. 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.
  4. 4. Efficiency is measured at 500mA/80V output set by DIP switch.
  5. 5. Current ripple is measured 50%~100% of maximum voltage under rated power delivery.
  6. 6. Standby power consumption is measured at 180~230VAC.
  7. 7. 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. (as available on https://www.meanwell.com//Upload/PDF/EMI_statement_en.pdf)
  8. 8. The ambient temperature derating of 3.5℃/1000m with fanless models and of 5℃/1000m with fan models for operating altitude higher than 2000m(6500ft).
  9. 9. To fulfill requirements of the latest ErP regulation for lighting fixtures, this LED power supply can only be used behind a switch without permanently connected to the mains.

FAQ

Can I use the LCM-40KN for KNX-controlled LED downlights?

Yes, this model is built for constant current LED loads and includes a certified KNX protocol interface, which makes it suitable for downlight systems tied into KNX control. The driver is rated at 42W, and the LED voltage must stay within the range of the selected current level (2-57V at the default 700mA, from 2-100V at 350mA to 2-40V at 1050mA).

Is the LCM-40KN suitable for LED signage modules in a KNX building system?

It can be used for signage modules if the modules are designed for constant current drive and the total load stays within 42W and the voltage range of the selected current level (2-57V at the default 700mA). It is not intended for constant voltage signage modules, even if the project uses KNX elsewhere.

Can this driver power a small LED array in a synchronized multi-fixture setup?

Yes, that is one of the more relevant use cases for this model because it supports synchronization of up to 10 drivers (1 master + 9 slaves). The LED array still needs to be a constant current load that fits within the DIP-switch selectable current settings, the 42W rating and the voltage range of the chosen current level.

How do I size LEDs for the LCM-40KN?

Match it to constant current LEDs whose combined forward voltage stays below the maximum LED voltage of the selected current level, e.g. 57V at the default 700mA, 100V at 350mA or 40V at 1050mA. The number of LEDs depends on each LED forward voltage, so you should size by total forward voltage instead of assuming a specific count.

Can the LCM-40KN handle hot operating conditions?

The working temperature is specified as a case temperature of Tcase -30°C to +90°C (max. case temperature +90°C), with load derating per the sheet's output load vs temperature curves. These specs do not list an IP rating, so environmental exposure should be judged at the fixture or enclosure level.
