Meanwell dimming

I picked up two fissioning lights( 240R) there are two plugs on the driver. The driver is HLG-240H- 54A

Which port is for dimming? And why is there two ports? They don't seem quite as bright as my cobs and if thinking they can be tuned up.

one will limit current the other is voltage dimming
play with 'em

you need a tiny phillips screwdriver

I don't want to play with them, it's a cheap ass Chinese screw.. I want them cranked up all the way and I'll never touch that set screw again.

I've got 12 screwdrivers here in my bag, none small enough.

So crank both screws clockwise til they stop?

yes if you want full power
be gentle!

This might help. Or use the search function. I'm no expert with these things, yet, lol.

Ones voltage ones amperage. Need a precision Philips screwdriver.

As they've stated, ones for voltage adjustment(vO) as it can adjust down to about 50V and the other is for actual dimming.(iO)

You digging the spread from that diode layout? Mine will be fired back up very soon. Mars are Outta There

I like it, still in veg so far though..will know in 11 weeks what it's capable of after harvest. I like the sleek design, heavy duty cords and it gives off almost no heat, even the driver is ambient temp.

I don't like the dimmer screws, it can't really be dimmed the screws will turn continually ..I just hope it's on full blast.

Brother, I haven't seen any updates or even a pic of your light in action! Let's see that thing!
Also, did you figure out the dim screw? I never saw this post I don't think and am concerned when you say it turns continuously. It definitely should come to a stop. You really might need to use your phones light to shine down into the plug hole and make sure you got it lined up. The screwdriver shouldn't be smaller than any of your 12 sizes that's for SURE. It's like a pen size screwdriver you'd use.

Vo adjustment has a function when the
driver operates at Constant Voltage mode ( Vo limits / sets the max output voltage ) .When at Constant Current mode Vo should be set fully clockwise
at it’s max setting.

Io limits/sets the output current
(at CC mode ) .

Hi guys!

I have a Meanwell A/B Type Driver. The fact it is an A-type means that I'm able to configure it using a Philips screwdriver, right?

My question is about the fact it is also a B-type.
To use it funcionality I need a 100K potentiometer, don't I? Is it possible to use the driver without this potentiometer? In this case would it work? The voltage would be the maximum possible?

Yes, screwdriver
Yes 100k pot
Yes, works without
The voltage depends on driver and what chips you use

Thank you one more time, Rocket!!
