Safety Information

1. The LED module and all of its components must not be subject to mechanical stress.

2. Assembly must not damage or destroy the conducting paths on the circuit board.

3. Installation of the LED Modules and OSRAM LED power supplies need to be made with regard to all applicable electrical and safety

standards. Only qualified personnel should be allowed to perform installations.

4. Correct electrical polarity needs to be observed. Incorrect polarity may destroy the module.

5. All LEDs, up to the maximum number allowable for the power supply, should be installed in a single electrical series connection. Electrical

parallel connection can result in unbalanced voltage distribution resulting in damaging and potentially hazardous overload of some LEDs.

6. Pay attention to standard ESD precautions when handling and installing the module.

7. Only install according to the heat sinking parameters outlined in the Application Notes section.

8. Modules may be hot to touch; use caution.

Assembly Information/Application Notes

1. Solder connections should only be performed on designated solder pads at the locations of LED subunit marked “+” and “-“.

During soldering, do not exceed the maximum soldering time of 10 seconds and the maximum soldering temperature of 260°C.

2. The mounting of the module is facilitated by means of the double-sided adhesive on the back surface of the module. Care must be taken

to provide a clean and dry mounting surface, free of oils or silicone coatings as well as dirt particles. The mounting substrate must have

sufficient structural integrity. Take care to completely remove the adhesive backing. Once the module is appropriately positioned, press

3. The module should be installed onto flat surfaces to facilitate intimate thermal contact between the circuit board and the substrate material.

The module should not be installed onto curved surfaces.

Minimum and Maximum Ratings For DRAGONtape (all colors)

Parameter

Rating

Notes:

1. Exceeding maximum ratings may damage the LED module and cause potential safety hazards.

2. Elevated operating temperatures can be expected to negatively impact the service life in terms of lumen output.

3. Incorrect wiring (i.e. reverse polarity) with constant current power supplies may damage the LED module.

4. Not intended for use with constant voltage power supplies.

The LED Module incorporates no protection against short circuits, overload or overheating. Therefore it is necessary to operate the

modules with an electronically stabilized power supply offering protection against the above mentioned safety risks.

OSRAM OPTOTRONIC power supplies are specifically designed with protection features for safe operation.

When using power supplies other than OPTOTRONIC the following basic safety features should be verified in addition to any other

application specific concerns and local safety codes:

• Short circuit protection

• Overload protection

• Overheat protection

• Correct output voltage, including consideration for ripple and spikes.

WARNING: ONLY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL SHOULD PERFORM INSTALLATION.

TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR COMPONENT DAMAGE, DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE ATTEMPTING

INSTALLATION OF THE POWER SUPPLIES AND/OR MODULES.

Failure to install the power supplies and/or LED modules in accordance with the National Electric Code (NEC), all applicable Federal,

State and local electric codes as well as the specific Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) safety standards for the installation, location and

application may cause serious personal injury, death, property damage and/or product malfunction. These instructions are guidelines for

installation of OSRAM LED modules and power supplies. Installation requirements may vary depending on the application. Licensed

electricians should provide all installation services for connection of both primary and secondary (input/output) of the power supplies.
