Filtered dimming technology
Filtered dimming technology is created to achieve extremely high quality and flicker free light output even at the lowest dimming levels.
Light output is dimmed with amplitude dimming until the very lowest light levels (< 3%) and below that, stable light output is provided
with filtered high frequency signal. Dimming technology complies with IEEE 1789-2015 recommendations of current modulation to
mitigate health risks to viewers.

Total continous current of the drivers and installation environment must always be considered and taken into calculations when installing
drivers behind miniature circuit breaker. Example calculation of total drivers amount limited by continous current: n(Icont) = (16 A (Inom,Ta) /
“nominal mains current with full load”) x 0.76). This calculation is an example according to recommended precautions due to multiple
adjacent circuit breakers (> 9 MCBs) and installation environment (Ta30 degrees); variables may vary according to the use case. Both in-
rush current and continous current calculations are based on ABB S200 series circuit breakers. More specific information in ABB series
S200 circuit breaker documentation.
NOTE! Type C MCB’s are strongly recommended to use with LED lighting. Please see more details in “MCB information” document in each
driver product page in “downloads & links” section.

LL1x150-CR-DA LED driver is suited for built-in usage in luminaires. With LL1x2130-SR strain reliefs, independent use is possible too (see
the LL1x2130-SR datasheet for details). In order to have safe and reliable LED driver operation, the LED luminaires will need to comply
with the relevant standards and regulations (e.g. IEC/EN 60598-1). The LED luminaire shall be designed to adequately protect the LED
driver from dust, moisture and pollution. The luminaire manufacturer is responsible for the correct choice and installation of the LED
drivers according to the application and product datasheets. Operating conditions of the LED drivers may never exceed the specifications
as per the product datasheet.
Installation & operation
Maximum ambient and tctemperature
• For built-in components inside luminaires, the taambient
temperature range is a guideline given for the optimum
operating environment. However, integrator must always
ensure proper thermal management (i.e. mounting base of the
driver, air flow etc.) so that the tcpoint temperature does not
exceed the tcmaximum limit in any circumstance.
• Reliable operation and lifetime is only guaranteed if the
maximum tcpoint temperature is not exceeded under the
conditions of use.
Current setting resistor
LL1x150-CR-DA LED driver features a constant current output
adjustable via current setting resistor or software.
• An external resistor can be inserted in to the current setting
terminal, allowing the user to adjust the LED driver output current
• When no external resistor is connected, then the LED drivers will
operate at their default lowest current level
• A standard through-hole resistor can be used for the current
setting. To achieve the most accurate output current it is
recommended to select a quality low tolerance resistor. Minimum
diameter for resistor leg is 0.51mm.
• Always connect the current setting resistor only into the terminals
marked with Iset on the LED driver label.
• Specific Iset resistor/current values are presented in the table on
page 3.
Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCB)
• Type-C MCB’s with trip characteristics in according to EN 60898
are recommended.
• Please see more details in “MCB information” document in each
driver product page in “downloads & links” section.
Switch-Control 2
Before installation and for troubleshoot and guidance, refer to
Switch-Control User Guide at www.helvar.com.
Use of Switch-Control functionality
• Maximum numbers of LED drivers to be connected to one switch
is 60. Wire length is not restricted by the driver technology.
• Ensure that all components connected to Switch-Control
circuitry are mains rated.
• The X2 rated (1 μF) capacitor has to be installed between control
lines in case of unwanted behavior of lights. See details and
guidance from the user guide.
Helvar Driver Configurator -support
LL1x150-CR-DA LED driver is supported by Helvar Driver configurator
software. The LL1x150-CR-DA driver supports output current setting
with software, the output current of the driver can be programmed
using Helvar Driver Configurator, as well as parameters for functions
such as CLO. Also the operation of the multifunction Iset terminal
usage can be changed from current setting resistor (default) to NTC
overtemperature protection operation.
Lamp failure functionality
No load
When open load is detected, driver will go to standby. Automatic
recovery is on during the first 10 minutes. If open load is still detected
after the first 10 minutes, driver goes to standby mode and recovers
through mains reset.
Short circuit
When short circuit is detected, driver goes to standby mode and
returns through mains reset or DALI command.
Overload
When high overload is detected, driver goes to standby mode and
follows the same logic as described in the short circuit condition.
When low overload is detected, output current will be reduced to have
maximum rated output power.
Underload
When undervoltage is detected, driver goes to standby mode and
returns through mains reset.
NTC trigger
When NTC is enabled via Helvar Driver Configurator, driver follows
NTC feature behaviour. Default NTC trigger point is 8,2 kΩ, after
which the driver starts to decrease the output level.
