Re: The mystery of the Mean Well type AB driver models?

The current adjustment screw terminal on the driver overrides the POT. Once current is set by the screw you can dim them as per normal. The way I would use these in a parallel build is to set the maximum voltage to the output of your boards. This way if a board fails or something goes wrong it will...

Re: Drivers not outputting correct voltage or are my readings wrong?

So it works properly when you have the dim pots disconnected right? Shouldn't the voltage be much higher with these drivers? And if the other driver is outputting 6.27A and the other something over 5.9A, then aren't they over much what the datasheets says about their amperage, and UNDER with voltag...

Re: Drivers not outputting correct voltage or are my readings wrong?

The driver putting out 6.2A when rated at 5.0A is classic underspeced mean well, happens all the time. You're getting 300W from each, that's sweet. That you don't hit 48V is also normal, the driver is giving exactly what the LEDs need. It's advertised as 48V so that people go out and buy a 48V driv...

Re: Drivers not outputting correct voltage or are my readings wrong?

Disconnect the dim pots and make sure the wires do not touch each other, turn the voltage adjustment on the driver to full, turn the amperage adjustment on the driver to full. That's all you do. If they are still not pushing out as much current as you want then contact kingbrite about it. I have no...

Re: Drivers not outputting correct voltage or are my readings wrong?

You purchased a knock off but even still voltage won't hit 48V. About 45V is normal Why the driver doesn't push more than 45V? Why don't the adjusting ranges match with the datasheet? How much amperage i can safely even feed these boards if the voltages aren't even what advertised? Ive never heard ...

Re: Drivers not outputting correct voltage or are my readings wrong?

I tested all again with the other kit and both pots, here's what i got: Started measuring Voltage: (External dim pot taken off) Both pots 0% = 42.4V & 56.6W Both pots 50% = 44v & 162W Both pots 100% = 45V & 308W Io @ 100% & Vo @ 45% = 45V & 307W (45V seems to be the max when measuring Voltage w/ boa...

Re: Drivers not outputting correct voltage or are my readings wrong?

Turn your voltage to maximum first, then adjust your current. Your driver will automatically use the correct voltage. Maybe contact the supplier and ask them what the issue is also. Not sure where would i contact, meanwell? Disconnect the pot, one driver, two boards. Turn Vo all the way up, turn Io...

Re: Drivers not outputting correct voltage or are my readings wrong?

Sounds like that watt meter is fucked, just set it up with your multimeter and forget the watt meter Seems like the adjustment rates don't even make any sense with these, i get like 42.8V (or was it 43.8) at lowest and then need to turn both pots to get the voltage up, at midway i get like 46V some...
