ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

CONNECTIONS FOR SMALLER POWER

This is the typical installation when the power of the connected flexible led strip does not exceed the
maximum allowed power of the dimmer. (80W for 12V applications or 160W for 24V applications)
Follow these instructions:
 Calculate the total power of the led strip. The power of led strips is mostly given in watt/meter (W/m).
Example: the power of your ledstrip = 9,6W/m and length = 5m
The total power = 9,6 W/m * 5m = 48W
 Choose an adapted power supply based on the previous calculation. For long-term reliability we suggest to
add about 20% power reserve and choose the nearest power supply exceeding this calculation.
Example: in our example we need 48W. So we add 20%: 48W + 20% = ±58W
The nearest power supply in this case is our 60W / 24V power supply.
 Connect the power supply output to the Power input of the unit. (don't mix-up the polarity of the wires!)
 Connect the led strip to the output of the unit. (don't mix-up the polarity of the wires!)
Remark: don't connect more than 5m led strip in series, excessive current will damage the led strip.
Instead you can connect the led strips in parallel.
 Switch on the power supply AFTER you checked all connections.
 Done!

CONNECTIONS FOR BIGGER POWER

This is the typical installation when the power of the connected flexible led strip exceeds the maximum
allowed power of the dimmer. (80W for 12V applications or 160W for 24V applications)
Follow these instructions:
 Calculate the total power of the led strip. The power of led strips is mostly given in watt/meter (W/m).
Example: the power of your ledstrip = 14,4W/m and length = 15m
The total power = 14,4 W/m * 15m = 216W
 Choose an adapted power supply based on the previous calculation. For long-term reliability we suggest to
add about 20% power reserve and choose the nearest power supply exceeding this calculation.
Example: in our example we need 216W. So we add 20%: 216W + 20% = ±260W
The nearest power supply in this case is 2pcs of our 150W / 24V power supply.
 So now we have 2pcs 150W power supply:
 Power supply1: will be connected directly to the dimmer.
 Power supply2: will be connected to an LED-REPEATER that will add more power to the led strips.
 Connect the output of power supply1 to the power input of the dimmer. (don't mix-up the polarity of the
wires!)
 Connect about 6m led strip (±87W) to the output of the dimmer. Don't mix-up the polarity of the wires!
Remark: don't connect more than 5m led strip in series, excessive current will damage the led strip.
Instead you can connect the led strips in parallel.
 Connect the output of power supply2 to the power input of the LED-REPEATER. (don't mix-up the polarity
of the wires!)
