FAQs
Can I dim the lights connected to this driver?
No, this driver operates on 12V DC and is not designed to be dimmed using a standard wall dimmer switch. Dimming capabilities would depend on specific compatible luminaires and accessories if offered by Paulmann.
What is the maximum number of lights I can connect?
The driver has a maximum power output of 60W. You can connect multiple lights as long as their total power consumption does not exceed this limit. Always check the individual wattage of your chosen luminaires.
Do I need to buy lamps separately?
Yes, the lamps (spots, etc.) are not included with this driver and must be ordered separately. The product highlights recommend ordering matching rope spots as well.
Can this driver be used with other cable systems?
This driver is specifically designed for the Paulmann Wire cable system. Using it with incompatible systems is not recommended and may void warranties or cause damage.
What is the service life of this driver?
The driver has a rated service life of 30,000 hours.
Is this driver dimmable with a remote control?
The dimming capability with a remote control depends on the specific luminaires and any additional compatible control modules used within the Paulmann Wire system, not the driver itself.
Can I install this driver outdoors?
This driver is intended for indoor use and does not appear to have an outdoor protection rating (IP rating) specified. Please refer to product packaging or additional documentation for precise environmental limitations.
Troubleshooting
Lights do not turn on.
Check that the mains power is on. Verify all connections between the driver, the cable system, and the luminaires are secure. Ensure the total wattage of connected lights does not exceed the driver's 60W maximum capacity.
Lights flicker or perform inconsistently.
Confirm the driver is connected to a 12V DC output and not AC. Check for loose connections at any point in the system. Ensure the total load is within the 60W limit.
Driver is not powering any lights.
Ensure the input voltage is 230V AC and the output is connected to a 12V DC system. Test with a single luminaire to rule out an overload issue with multiple lights.
