RECOMM END E D O P ERATI NG CONDI T I ONS ( R .C.)
This module has been designed to operate over a wide range of input and output conditions. However, best efficiency and performance
will be obtained if the module is operated under the condition listed in the ‘R.C.’ column. Min. and Max. columns indicate values beyond
which the inverter, although operational, will not function optimally.

The minimum VBRT ADJ voltage depends on the panel characteristics, depending on the panel it can vary from 0.65V to 0.9V
Total output power must not exceed 4W. Higher voltage lamps may require maximum output current to be set lower than 6.5mARMS

The inverter is capable of a lower output current than may be recommended by the panel manufacturer. It is the user’s responsibility to set the minimum
brightness (BRITE) input at or above the panel specification for minimum current.
