LED Drivers with KNX Interface
ADM stocks MEAN WELL constant voltage and constant current LED drivers with a built-in KNX interface.
Constant Current LED Drivers with KNX Interface
These LED drivers have constant current mode output, with multiple output levels selectable via a dip switch. There are 3 models in the series:
These LED drivers are the first in the World to feature a built-in KNX interface, which avoids the complication of having to use a KNX-DALI gateway.
All three LED drivers have an input range of 180~295VAC and selectable output current levels as detailed in the following table. Please note that the actual power output of the LED driver depends on the selected output current.

The high efficiency of these new LED drivers (up to 90%) combined with the fanless design, results in a case temperature range of -30°C ~90°C case temperature under free air convection. They also feature a push dimming interface.
The KNX interface allows information such as operation hours and power consumption to be read from the LED driver.
The CLO (constant light output) function, allows for the light intensity to remain constant over the long operating lifetime of an LED, despite ageing of the LED chips.
Up to 10 LCM-xxKN series KNX LED drivers can be controlled simultaneously via the built-in master-slave circuit, thus providing outstanding design flexibility for interior LED lighting systems.
Constant Voltage LED Drivers with KNX Interface
ADM also stocks the MEAN WELL PWM-KN series of KNX LED drivers. These LED drivers have an IP67 ingress protection rating, so they are resistant to moisture ingress. However, they should not be mounted in direct sunlight as this can siginificantly shorten the life of the LED driver.
If a LED driver fails due to exposure to high temperatures, this is not considered a warranty failure.
Like all models within the MEAN WELL PWM series, these LED drivers have a PWM output for even dimming, regardless of the load on the LED driver.

They also have an IP67 ingress protection rating, so they are resistant to moisture ingress. If you wish to mount these outside, please be aware that the plastic casing in not UV stablised.
No LED driver should be mounted in direct sunlight, as this could cause the temperature inside the driver to increase beyond its maximum temperature rating. This has the potential to cause a failure, that would not be covered by the warranty.
The benefit of using a LED driver with a built in KNX interface is that the need for a DALI ~ KNX gateway is eliminated. This results in a lower cost installation, by reducing the number of components required.
The MEAN WELL PWM series KNX LED drivers can dim to 0.01% and have a user changeable frequency of up to 4kHz for low flicker operation for IEEE1789-2015 & EU Ecodesign Stroboscopic Visibility Measure (SVM) requirements.
All models come with a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty.
