Add Suffix “-F”
No dimming option
① Exceeding the maximum output power will permanently damage the converter.
② The dimming feature is not supported when units are used in Constant Voltage mode only, Aimtec suggests to order “-F” No
dimming option in the case.
③ In constant current mode output current is maximum shown, in constant voltage mode output voltage is the maximum shown. All models
can be ordered with optional North American colour input wires (black (L), white (N), green (GND)). Add “–NA” to part number when
ordering.
NOTE: Aimtec limited warranty of 5 years is valid based on product operation at datasheet specifications at ambient temperature of 25°C,
humidity<75%, nominal input voltage (115/230/277VAC) and at rated output load unless otherwise specified. See
http://www.aimtec.com/terms-sale
AMER120-CAZ’s AC/DC LED drivers have electrical safeguards designed within to protect it from conventional electrical abnormalities with
the levels listed in the safety table. Applications for use within rural agricultural, heavy industrial, and other areas or regions which are
prone to ‘dirty’ electrical conditions which would subject any of the above models to excessive voltages surges or spikes, may damage or
cause early life failure of product. In this case consideration should be made by the end user to ensure that adequate line or mains surge
suppression is installed in front of Aimtec device to ensure the longevity of the products. Failure to identify excessive line surges violations
prior to installation may damage sensitive equipment permanently.
