Test conditions and notes13
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
- 2. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12" twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1μf & 47μf parallel capacitor.
- 3. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
- 4. Derating may be needed under low input voltage. Please check the static characteristics for more details.
- 5. Output voltage can be adjusted through the SVR1 on the PCB; limit of output constant current level can be adjusted through the SVR2 on the PCB.
- 6. Please refer to "DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE".
- 7. The power supply is considered as a component that will be operated in combination with final equipment. Since EMC performance will be affected by the complete installation, the final equipment manufacturers must re-qualify EMC Directive on the complete installation again. (as available on https://www.meanwell.com//Upload/PDF/EMI_statement_en.pdf)
- 8. Direct connecting to LEDs is suggested, but is not suitable for using additional drivers.
- 9. To fulfill requirements of the latest ErP regulation for lighting fixtures, this LED power supply can only be used behind a switch without permanently connected to the mains.
- 10. The ambient temperature derating of 3.5℃/1000m with fanless models and of 5℃/1000m with fan models for operating altitude higher than 2000m(6500ft).
- 11. For any application note and IP water proof function installation caution, please refer our user manual before using. https://www.meanwell.com/Upload/PDF/LED_EN.pdf
- 12. PLN-30-9 is used for any light source that exempt from the ErP-Directive (EU) 2019/2020 requirement, for example this model could be use for signalling products (including, but not limited to road-, railway-, marineorair traffic-signalling , traffic control or airfield lamps).
- 13. This product is not suitable for LED lighting applications in China.(It is recommended to use the LPF/NPF/XLG/XLC/XLN series in China)

FAQ
Can I use the PLN-30-15 for a 15V LED lighting load in signage?
Yes, if the lighting load is designed for 15V operation and stays within the driver's 30W output. The connected product also needs to operate within the 10.5-15V constant current range and not exceed 2A.
Is this driver suitable for a compact 15V illuminated display?
It is suitable for compact 15V display or sign lighting where total demand is up to 30W. This version provides up to 2A output, with a 10.5-15V constant current range.
Can the PLN-30-15 power short-run 15V strip or linear lighting?
It can power a short 15V lighting load up to 30W if the product matches the driver's electrical characteristics. Confirm the fixture or strip works within the 10.5-15V constant current range and does not require more than 2A.
How do I estimate LED strip length for the PLN-30-15?
Use the driver's 30W maximum output and divide it by the strip's rated watts per meter. The formula is 30W / strip W per meter = maximum meters, but check your strip rated power per meter and verify that it is compatible with 15V and the 2A constant current output.
Is the PLN-30-15 weather-resistant enough for outdoor signage?
Its IP64 rating means the housing is protected against dust and splashing water, which fits many sheltered outdoor sign and display locations. It is not a submersible unit, and the stated operating temperature range is -30°C to +50°C (see the derating curve) at 20-95% RH non-condensing.
