60 Watt Dimming LED Driver Model: DIM12V60 | No Minimum Load, Class 2 Power Unit | Suitable for Dry and Damp Locations
Highly effi cient, stabilized
12V DC power for LED lighting
Delivers the right amount of power needed
whether powering a 3 watt LED puck light, 60
watts of LED tape lighting, or a combination
of both. No minimum power load is required
for effective, fl icker-free dimming. For use
only with white LED lighting requiring 12V DC
constant voltage power.
Power supply will shut off in case of
lighting overload, open circuit, short circuit,
over-temperature or other fault. Unit will
automatically restart after the fault has
been corrected.
Not for use with color-changing RGB LED lighting.
Use only with approved compatible AC dimmers.
Installation Guidelines
■
Power supply is for direct wire only.
For dry location use only. Allow for
ventilation.
■
120V AC Power to this LED power
supply must be disconnected at all
times during installation.
■
Total wattage of all LED fi xtures used
must not exceed the 60 watt rating of
this power supply.
■
Use only insulated staples or plastic ties
to secure cords and wires.
■
Route and secure wires so they will not
be pinched or damaged.
■
All wiring must be in accordance with
national and local electrical codes, low
voltage Class 2 circuit. For wire runs
inside of walls, use properly certifi ed
CL2 or better cabling and appropriate
mounting hardware. If you are unclear
as to how to install and wire this
product, contact a qualifi ed electrician.
Failure to install this device properly
may result in electrical shock or fi re.
■
Do not install Class 2 low voltage wiring
in the same runs as AC main power. If
AC and low voltage wires cross, keep
them at 90-degree angles.
Power supply location
and voltage drop
Voltage drop is the gradual decrease in voltage
that occurs from your power supply to your
LED lighting. The shorter the 12V DC wire
leads are between the power supply and the
LED lighting, the brighter and more consistent
the lighting will be
Voltage drop only becomes undesirable if you
notice the brightness or color in one area of
your lighting is objectionably different than in
another area. As a practical approach, test your
LED lighting prior to fi nal installation. If voltage
drop appears to be an issue, use thicker,
heavier gauge wires or use less lighting.

design, visit armacostlighting.com/installation

Note: If you measure the output of this
device with a common multimeter, you
will get a low reading of 10-11 volts. To
accurately measure voltage output, you
must use a digital multimeter that can
measure the AC+ DC true RMS value of
the output. A Fluke model 289 True-RMS
Industrial Multimeter is an example.
