Description
Sosen VH-E – programmable 40 W LED driver
Constant-current power supply with a wide 36–54 V output, 0–10 V dimming, AstroDim and IP67 for outdoor use.
Constant-current driver with wide voltage range
The Sosen VH-E is a fully potted constant-current LED driver with 40 W output power. Its wide input range of 100–277 V and programmable output of 36–54 V suit a wide variety of LED modules. The output current is freely set in software (AOC) from 0.1 to 1.1 A, so a single power supply covers many luminaire types.
Dimming, control & programming
- ✓ AstroDim – Built-in time/twilight control via a programmed timing curve – no external sensor.
- ✓ 1–10 V dimming – Stepless brightness via an isolated 0–10 V signal (1–10 V recommended).
- ✓ PWM & resistor dimming – Alternatively controlled by PWM signal or resistor (10–100 kOhm).
- ✓ AOC – adjustable current – Output current 0.1–1.1 A freely programmable.
- ✓ Timing & auto-adjust – Legacy timer plus auto-adjust by percentage or mid-point.
- ✓ Protections – Short-circuit (SCP), over-temperature (OTP) and over-voltage (OVP) built in.
Programming is done conveniently with the Sosen USB Programmer (available separately).
