Armacost Lighting DIM12V60 Guide Rapide

60 Watt Dimming LED Driver
Model
DIM12V60-B
shown with
optional enclosure
Highly effi cient, stabilized
12-volt DC power for LED lighting
Delivers the right amount of power needed
whether powering a 3 watt LED puck light, 60
watts of LED tape lighting, or a combination
of both. No minimum power load is required
for effective, fl icker-free dimming. For use only
with white LED lighting requiring 12-volt DC
constant voltage power.
Power supply will shut off in case of
lighting overload, open circuit, short circuit,
over-temperature or other fault. Unit will
automatically restart after the fault has
been corrected.
Not for use with color-changing RGB LED lighting
or other 12-volt dimmers. Use only with approved
compatible AC dimmers.
Installation Guidelines
Power supply is for direct wire only.
■
For dry location use only. Allow for
ventilation.
120-volt AC power to this LED power
■
supply must be disconnected at all
times during installation.
Total wattage of all LED fi xtures used
■
must not exceed the 60 watt rating of
this power supply.
Use only insulated staples or plastic ties
■
to secure cords and wires.
Route and secure wires so they will not
■
be pinched or damaged.
All wiring must be in accordance with
■
national and local electrical codes, low
voltage Class 2 circuit. For wire runs
inside of walls, use properly certifi ed
CL2 or better cabling and appropriate
mounting hardware. If you are unclear
as to how to install and wire this
product, contact a qualifi ed electrician.
Failure to install this device properly
may result in electrical shock or fi re.
Do not install Class 2 low voltage wiring
■
in the same runs as AC main power. If
AC and low voltage wires cross, keep
them at 90-degree angles.
Power supply location
and voltage drop
Voltage drop is the gradual decrease in voltage
that occurs from your power supply to your
LED lighting. The shorter the 12-volt DC wire
leads are between the power supply and the
LED lighting, the brighter and more consistent
the lighting will be do not coil extra wire.
–
Voltage drop only becomes undesirable if you
notice the brightness or color in one area of
your lighting is objectionably different than in
another area. As a practical approach, test your
LED lighting prior to fi nal installation. If voltage
drop appears to be an issue, use thicker,
heavier gauge wires or use less lighting.

design, visit armacostlighting.com/installation

Note: If you measure the output of this device with a
common multimeter, you will get a low reading of 10-
11 volts. To accurately measure voltage output, you
must use a digital multimeter that can measure the
AC+ DC true RMS value of the output. A Fluke model
289 True-RMS Industrial Multimeter is an example.

installation location. A ground wire is attached with lug and nut to the inside of the enclosure.
All C•L dimmers require 2 wires for hookup and have
an adjustment to set the low end dimming range.
