LED drivers with added convenience of wireless programming

13-11-2020 | Inventronics | Lighting Technologies

Inventronics has expanded its new family of IP66/IP67 LED drivers with DALI-2 D4i certification supplies OEMs the capability to monitor essential driver information to lessen maintenance costs and the capability to plug and play controls. The expansion comprises four different series that provide 75W, 100W, 150W and 200W power levels in addition to the existing 240W models. The expanded EUM-Bx series provides for decreased inventory SKUs, streamlined production, improved design flexibility and a broad input voltage range of 90-305VAC to assist world-wide applications.

The family offers the time-saving feature of wireless programming through NFC and can be configured without power or a mains connection, offering an effortless approach to programming. The family expansion provides four separate driver series. The EUM-075SxxxBx delivers full-power from 700-2100mA, EUM-100SxxxBx from 700-2800mA, EUM-150SxxxBx from 700-4200mA and the EUM-200SxxxBx from 700-5600mA. They can be programmed using the company's PRG-NFC-D desktop programmer, PRG-NFC-H handheld programmer or any Zhaga Book 24 compatible programmers.

The family is provided with an integrated 16VDC Bus Power Supply delivering power to the DALI bus and control devices, making it easier to execute connectivity to create smart cities. They also supply the extra D4i certification that can accompany DALI-2, providing luminaire manufacturers compatibility with a broad range of application-specific controls solutions. D4i makes crucial health and diagnostics data accessible so users can optimise their lighting system by reading data in real-time to improve energy savings, decrease maintenance costs and provide consistent lighting. Coupled with the integrated AC power monitoring, users can calculate energy consumption and better evaluate their ROI.

The family uses a proprietary encapsulation process, rugged extruded-metal housing and are IP66 and IP67 rated. They also maintain industry-leading surge protection of 6kV (differential mode) and 10kV (common mode) and specially developed to function in harsh outdoor conditions and demanding applications including high bay, high mast and roadway lighting.
