Specifications
28 Philips Fortimo HBMt Gen 3 System Design In Guide
Quality
Compliance and approval marks
The Philips Fortimo LED HBMt is UL and CSA approved and complies with the
applicable EU directives.
To ensure approval of the luminaire, the conditions of acceptance need to be
fullled. Module-related data can be found in CSA 250-13 and UL8750. All
luminaire manufacturers are advised to conform to the international standards of
luminaire design (CSA 250-13 or UL1598).

IP rating, humidity and condensation
The Fortimo LED High Brightness Modules are build-in systems and therefore have
no IP classication. They are not designed for operation in the open air. The OEM
is responsible for proper IP classication and approbation of the luminaire.
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
Electromagnetic compatibility, EMC, is the ability of a device or system to operate
satisfactorily in its electromagnetic environment without causing unacceptable
interference in practical situations. In general, LED modules have no effect on the
EMC of a luminaire. The Fortimo LED HBMt was tested with a Xitanium driver in a
reference luminaire and no EMC issues were observed.
Introduction to Electrostatic discharge (ESD)
It is generally recognized that Electro Static Discharge can damage electronic
components, like LED chips, resulting in early failures. Professional users of
electronic components are used to implementing extensive and rigorous measures
to prevent ESD damage in their nished products. With the introduction of
LED components for lighting, a new breed of users, such as OEMs and installers,
are now involved in handling and using electronic LED components in the
manufacturing process.
Warning!
• The Fortimo LED HBMt has been developed and released for
use in damp locations
• Do not use in locations where condensation is present.
• If there is a possibility that condensation could come into
contact with the modules, the system/luminaire builder must
take precautions to prevent this
