Sound
eldoLED drivers are designed and tested to meet Class A (<24dBA @1m) sound pressure levels under steady state
operating conditions. When mounting the POWER LED driver, consideration should be given to the luminaire system and
how it may amplify or attenuate any vibrations from the LED driver into the application space.
Grounding
A POWERdrive LED driver must be grounded for proper EMC and safety performance. Each POWERdrive LED driver
includes an earth ground connection. Best practice is to also ground the POWERdrive LED driver housing by mounting it to
the luminaire body in the event the earth ground connection is interrupted. A star washer under the head of the
mounting screw is often adequate; the teeth of the washer penetrate the painted surface and create a good electrical
connection between the LED driver housing and the luminaire body.
6. Driver configuration
The POWERdrive LED driver is a fully programmable digital LED driver that is designed to support high-speed multi-
channel (color) lighting applications. In addition to traditional LED driver settings (e.g. drive current, minimum dimming
level, dimming curve), the POWERdrive LED driver includes a variety of (user) configurable parameters that enable more
advanced functionality. Some of these parameters are directly accessible through FluxTool, while others can only be set in
the eldoLED factory.
The order number configurator in the product datasheet of a POWERdrive LED driver only captures the most common
driver settings and configurations. This section explains the more advanced configuration settings. Please contact your
eldoLED Sales representative if you need one or more of these settings to be programmed in the driver out of the factory.
Startup and Fail mode
The behavior of a POWERdrive LED driver, in the absence of a DMX signal, can be fully configured in the Config section of
the FluxTool software, see Figure 7.
