Safety Information
The LED module itself and all its components must not be mechanically stressed.
Assembly must not damage or destroy conducting paths on the circuit board.
To avoid mechanical damage to the connecting cables, the module should be attached securely to the intended substrate. Heavy
vibration should be avoided.
Parallel connection is highly recommended as safe electrical operation mode.
Serial connection is not recommended. Unbalanced voltage drop can cause hazardous overload and damage the LED module.
Observe correct polarity!
Depending on the product incorrect polarity will lead to emission of red or no light. The module can be destroyed! Correct polarity
immediatelly! (see "reverse voltage", page 2)
Pay attention to standard ESD precautions when installing the module.
Please ensure that the power supply is of adequate power to operate the total load.
In case of thermal overload in the application COINlight-OSTAR® intelligent protection system would switch over into reversible blinki
mode. The LED module will not be damaged. Improving heat dissipation by extending the size of the heat sink or reducing the ambie
temperature would provide regular operation mode.
Electrical contact is achieved with the contact cables. One COINlight-OSTAR® can be operated on one OT20 or OT20S. A maximu
6 modules can be installed parallel on one OPTOTRONIC 75W. COINlight-OSTAR® cannot be operated with OT DALI 25/220-240/2
RGB as the intelligent protection system of the module is not supported.
COINlight-OSTAR® works as a three wire system: red cable (pluspole), black cable (minuspole) and a white cable for dimming.
A schematic drawing with wiring diagrams for dimming purpose is shown in the separate application note: "Dimming COINlight-
OSTAR®".
The module, as manufactured, has no conformal coating and therefore offers no inherent protection against corrosion.
Damage by corrosion will not be honored as a materials defect claim. It is the user's responsibility to provide suitable protection again
corrosive agents such as moisture and condensation and other harmful elements.
If the IP rating of the fixture should be higher than IP20, the design of the housing should be according to the IP standards in the
application.
To also ease the luminaire/installation approval, electronic control g ear for LED or LED modules should carry the CE mark and be EN
certified. In Europe the declarations of conformity must include the following standards:
CE: EC 61374-2-13, EN 55015, IEC 61547 and IEC 61000-3-2 - ENEC: 61374-2-13 and IEC/EN 62384.
Also check for the mark of an independent authorized certification institute.
Please see the relevant brochure for more detailed information (see "Related and Further Information")
Installation of LED modules (with power supplies) needs to be made with regard to all applicable electrical and safety standards. Onl
qualified personnel should be allowed to perform installations.
In order to drive OSRAM LED-Modules safely, it is absolutely necessary to operate them with an electronically stabilised powe
supply protecting against short circuits, overload and overheating.
OSRAM OPTOTRONIC® electronic control gear complies to all relevant standards and guarantees safe operation.
