Safety Information
The LED module itself and all its components must not be mechanically stressed.

Assembly must not damage or destroy conducting paths on the circuit board.


When do you use the connector LM-CONN pay attention that the modules are assembled in a level . No contact safety otherwise is
given.

The mounting of the module is carried out by attaching it at the mounting holes. Mounting screws should be treated with synthetic
washers to prevent circuit board damage and possible short circuiting.
Parallel connection is highly recommended as safe electrical operation mode.
Serial connection is not recommended. Unbalanced voltage drop can cause hazardous overload and damage the LED module.
Observe correct polarity!
Depending on the product incorrect polarity will lead to emission of red or no light. The module can be destroyed! Correct polarity
immediatelly! (see "reverse voltage", page 2)



A maximum of 3 Modules can be installed consecutively from any power feed. Operation with more than 3 LINEARlight modules will
reduce photometric performance and exceed the current carrying capacity of the module.

The LINEARlight can typically survive transient current levels of up to 2 Amperes. As a general design precaution, if the maximum
output current of the power supply is more than 2 Amperes, fast- blow fuses should be incorporated into the wiring plan.

Pay attention to ESD steps when mounting the module

The module, as manufactured, has no conformal coating and therefore offers no inherent protection against corrosion. The ability to
customize the length of the module by cutting at specifically marked points is a key feature of the product and hence the reason for
no factory installed conformal coating. For these reasons, it is recommended that the user complete all module modifications first
(cutting, wiring) and then apply a conformal coating in the final stages of installation.

Damage by corrosion will not be honored as a materials defect claim. It is the user´s responsibility to provide suitable protection
against corrosive agents such as moisture and condensation and other harmful elements.

For applications involving exposure to humidity and dust the module must be protected by a fixture or housing with a suitable
protection class. The module can be protected against condensation water by treatment with an appropriate circuit board grade
conformal coating. The conformal coating should have the following features:
- Optical transparency
- UV-resistance
- thermal expansion matching the thermal expansion of the module 15-30*10^-6 cm/cm/K
- low permeability of steam for all climatic conditions
- resistance against corrosive environment
To also ease the luminaire/installation approval, electronic control gear for LED or LED modules should carry the CE mark and be
ENEC certified. In Europe the declarations of conformity must include the following standards:
CE: EC 61347-2-13, EN 55015, IEC 61547 and IEC 61000-3-2 - ENEC: 61347-2-13 and IEC/EN 62384.
Also check for the mark of an independent authorized certification institute.
Please see the relevant brochure for more detailed information (see "Related and Further Information")
Installation of LED modules (with power supplies) needs to be made with regard to all applicable electrical and safety standards.
Only qualified personnel should be allowed to perform installations.

In order to drive OSRAM LED-Modules safely, it is absolutely necessary to operate them with an electronically
stabilised power supply protecting against short circuits, overload and overheating.
OSRAM OPTOTRONIC® electronic control gear complies to all relevant standards and guarantees safe operation.
