Insulated paper washers
Insulated paper washers
The surface of the PCB must not be damaged by mounting materials as this may
compromise the electrical isolating layer. The mounting materials must comply with
the relevant creepage clearances as defined in the section entitled „Lighting
characteristics'. We recommend you use insulated paper washers and do not use
metal washers.
Wiring
Connecting the driver to the mains supply
The mains supply has to be connected to the power supply (see the manual of the
power supply for instructions at www.philips.com/xitanium). Because the Xitanium
LED drivers are class I drivers, protective ground also needs to be connected. The
minimum diameter for the mains cables lies between 0.2 and 1.5 mm.
Connecting the LED Line to the driver
The first LED Line is connected to the driver using a 600 mm LED Line cable. On the
LED Line side, the connector is connected to the input connector marked „IN‟. In
some configurations which use the LED Line 1ft 650 lm HV1, a '2-chain' cable harness
is used, which consists of 1 driver connector and 2 LED Line connectors. This cable
has to be connected to 2 LED Lines on the side marked „IN‟.
Interconnecting LED Lines
The LED Lines are connected to each other using module-to-module cable harnesses.
These are available in three different lengths: 46 mm, 115 mm and 190 mm. The cable
is connected to the „OUT‟ connector of a LED Line and the „IN‟ connector of the
neighboring LED Line.
Cable length and EMC
Philips has successfully performed EMC tests for a total length 4m (sum of wire length
and length of LED Lines). For longer lengths it is advised to repeat these tests.
Return-end connector
The electric circuit of the LED Line is designed in such a way that multiple LED Lines
can be connected in series. This requires the „OUT‟ connector of the last LED Line to
be short-circuited using a return-end connector. In cases where a 2-chain cable is
used, 2 return-end connectors will have to be fitted.
Warning
Connecting the luminaire to protective ground
Like the Xitanium LED driver, the luminaire also needs to be connected
to protective ground in order to comply with safety regulations and
EMI.
