The rutec 85267 is a non-dimmable LED power supply unit designed for indoor use. Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician. Ensure the unit is installed in a well-ventilated area with an ambient temperature between -10°C and +40°C. Always connect the LED strip to the secondary side before connecting the primary side to the 230V AC mains. Ensure the power is switched off during installation.
Product description
The LED power supply unit 85267 is a non-dimmable device that outputs a rectified constant voltage of 12V DC on the secondary side, with a maximum power consumption of 12W.
Safety and installation instructions
- Qualified Personnel: Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician.
- Environment: Suitable for dry indoor areas only. Ensure good ventilation to maintain proper operating temperature.
- Safety Rules: Never connect cables while the unit is switched on. Check connections for short circuits before switching on the voltage.
- Repairs: Do not attempt to repair the unit yourself, as this will void the manufacturer's warranty.
- Cable Length: For the secondary connection, a maximum length of 4.0m is recommended. If using a longer cable, ensure the cross-section is sufficient to keep the voltage drop below or equal to 0.2V DC to prevent brightness or color shifts.
Installation procedure
- Connect the LED strip to the secondary side of the power supply unit, ensuring correct polarity (+ anode and - cathode).
- Connect the primary side of the power supply unit to the 230V AC mains voltage while the system is in a de-energized state.
- Verify that all input and output cables are connected correctly before switching on the power.

Practical help
Common problems
Brightness or color shift in LED strip
Ensure the secondary connection cable length is no more than 4.0m. If longer, increase the cable cross-section to keep the voltage drop ≤0.2V DC.
Unit not operating
Verify that input and output cables are connected correctly and that the unit is installed in a well-ventilated location.
Before use
- Ensure installation is performed by a qualified electrician.
- Verify the installation site is a dry indoor area.
- Check that the ambient temperature is between -10°C and +40°C.
- Ensure the power is switched off before connecting cables.
- Verify correct polarity (+ anode, - cathode) for the LED strip connection.
