■ Description
PWM-120 series is a 120W AC/DC LED driver featuring the constant voltage mode with PWM style output,
which is able to maintain the color temperature and the brightness homogeneity when driving all kinds of
LED strips. PWM-120 operates from 90～305VAC and offers models with different rated voltage ranging
between 12V and 48V. Thanks to the high efficiency up to 90.5%, with the fanless design, the entire series
is able to operate for -40 ℃ ~ +90 ℃ case temperature under free air convection. The entire series is rated
with IP67 ingress protection level and is suitable to work for dry, damp or wet locations. PWM-120 is equipped
with dimming function that varies the duty cycle of the output, providing great flexibility for LED strips
applications.

◎Cautions
Before commencing any installation or maintenance work, please disconnect the power supply from the utility. Ensure
that it cannot be re-connected inadvertently!
Keep proper ventilation around the unit and do not stack any object on it. Also a 10-15 cm clearance must be kept when
the adjacent device is a heat source.
Mounting orientations other than standard orientation or operate under high ambient temperature may increase the
internal component temperature and will require a de-rating in output current.
Current rating of an approved primary /secondary cable should be greater than or equal to that of the unit. Please refer
to its specification.
For LED drivers with waterproof connectors, verify that the linkage between the unit and the lighting fixture is
tight so that water cannot intrude into the system.
For dimmable LED drivers, make sure that your dimming controller is capable of driving these units.PWM series
require 0.15mA each unit.
Tc max. is identified on the product label. Please make sure that temperature of Tc point will not exceed limit.
DO NOT connect "DIM- to -V".
Suitable for indoor use or outdoor use without direct sunlight exposure. Please avoid immerse in the water over 30
minutes.
The power supply 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.
