Using Your Dimmer
Overview
Thank you for purchasing a Rapid LED DIY Dimmer Kit. This dimming kit will allow you to
manually dim multiple Mean Well ELN-60-48D drivers. Depending on the specific application, it should
be able to dim up to 10 drivers without any problem. With this kit, use only the included AC adapter.
Use of any other adapter may possibly damage the dimming circuitry in your driver(s).
General Driver Notes
The Mean Well ELN-60-48D dimmable driver accepts a 0-10V reference voltage signal on wires
Dim+ (blue), and Dim- (white). The included AC adapter will provide the reference voltage and two
potentiometers will allow you to vary the voltage between 0-10V, thus dimming the driver. The higher
the reference voltage, the brighter the LEDs will be, the lower the reference voltage, the dimmer the
LEDs will be.

    DC Jack Parts Included Potentiometer 2 AC Adapter Potentiometer 1 Case Case Screws Wire Parts Required: • Soldering Iron • Solder (60/40) • Philips Screwdriver • Wire Strippers • Extra Wire Tinning About Tinning Potentiometers and Wire To begin, we will tin the potentiometer terminals, DC jack terminals, and wire tips. Tinning is the process of pre-coating the wire, or contacts, in the case of the potentiometer and DC jack, with solder.
  • Page 3 Not Tinned Tinned Tinning DC Jack Next, tin the DC jack terminals in the same manner as the potentiometer terminals. Installing Potentiometers to Faceplate Next, we will install the potentiometers to the faceplate: 1. Insert the potentiometers such that the alignment tab on the potentiometer inserts into the alignment hole in the faceplate (see photos below).

    Alignment Tab Alignment Holes Installing the DC Jack to the Faceplate The DC jack snaps into the faceplate. If it is pre-installed, do not attempt to remove it – you risk cracking the faceplate by doing so. The DC jack mounting hole is ‘D’ shaped. Ensure the flat edge of the DC jack matches up with the flat edge of the mounting hole.

Soldering notes: • You will need to run a wire from the – terminal as well as a wire from the middle terminal of each potentiometer out to your driver(s) as labeled in the photo below •...
  • Page 6 Installing the Faceplate to the Case Screw the faceplate to the bottom half of the case with the included screws. Do not over tighten the screws, the faceplate may crack or the screw holes in the bottom half of the box may strip out.
