DC-DC Converter
Installation Of DC-DC Converters
◦ Install Converters where they are exposed to ambient air (the cooler the better). Do not
install in a small enclosed area unless it is well cooled. If possible fasten to a metal
surface this will act as a heat sink to cool the converters. The converters will operate in
ambient temperatures up to 85F.
◦ The converters will automatically shut themselves down if they over heat. If they do over
heat remove power and let cool then reapply power.
◦ The Input and Output connections are listed on a label on the back of the converters
▪ Please check the Input voltage and insure it matches the input power.
▪ Please check the Output voltage and insure it matches the light requirements.
•
Currently all lights run on 24V input. If this changes the new voltage will be listed
on a label on the light. The current lights do not have a label.
Note: 24V Battery systems put out 24-30V. Do NOT connect the Light directly to a 24V Battery.
