Exceeding maximum ratings for operating and storage temperature will reduce expected life time or destroy the LED Module.
Exceeding maximum ratings for operating voltage will cause hazardous overload and will likely destroy the LED Module.
The temperature of the LED module must be measured at the Tc-point according to EN60598-1 in a thermally constant status with a temperature sensor or a temperature
sensitive label. For exact location of the Tc-point see drawing below.

Safety Information
The LED module itself and all its components must not be mechanically stressed.
Assembly must not damage or destroy conducting paths on the circuit board.
The LED Module incorporates no protection against short circuits, overload or overheating. Therefore it is absolutely necessary to
operate the modules with a electronically stabilised power supply offering protection against the above mentioned safety risks.
For dimming applications attention should be paid to specific references in "OPTOTRONIC ® Technical Guide".
OSRAM OPTOTRONIC ® power supplies are specifically designed with protection features for safe operation.
When using power supplies other than OPTOTRONIC ® the following basic safety features are required, in addition to any other
application specific concerns and local safety codes:
Short circuit protection
Overload protection
Overheat protection
Installation of LED modules (with power supplies) needs to be made with regard to all applicable electrical and safety standards.
Only qualified personnel should be allowed to perform installations.
Observe correct electrical polarity!
For all W3 / W3F types (except LM10P / LD06A / DC02A) wrong polarity will lead to emission of red light. Attention, the module
can be destroyed! Correct polarity immediately!
For all other types, including LM10P / LD06A / DC02A), wrong polarity will lead to no light emission only (see also reverse voltage,
page 2)
Parallel connection is highly recommended as safe electrical operation mode.
Serial connection is not recommended. Unbalanced voltage drop can cause hazardous overload and damage the LED module.
Please ensure that the power supply is of adequate power to operate the total load.
When mounting on metallic or otherwise conductive surfaces, there needs to be a electrical isolation at soldering points between
module and the mounting surface.
The maximum length of LINEARlight Flex LM11A is 2100 mm for green, blue, white and yellow and 4200 mm for red with a two
pole power feed at one end. The complete module 4200 mm can be operated with a two pole power feed in the middle of the
module or from both ends.
Pay attention to standard ESD precautions when installing the module.
The module, as manufactured, has no conformal coating and therefore offers no inherent protection against corrosion. The ability
to customize the length of the module by cutting at specifically marked points is a key feature of the product and hence the reason
for no factory installed conformal coating. For these reasons, it is recommended that the user complete all module modifications
first (cutting, wiring) and then apply a conformal coating in the final stages of installation.
Damage by corrosion will not be honored as a materials defect claim. It is the user´s responsibility to provide suitable protection
against corrosive agents such as moisture and condensation and other harmful elements.
For applications involving exposure to humidity and dust the module must be protected by a fixture or housing with a suitable
protection class. The module can be protected against condensation water by treatment with an appropriate circuit board grade
conformal coating. The conformal coating should have the following features:
- Optical transparency
- UV-resistance
- thermal expansion matching the thermal expansion of the module 15-30*10^-6 cm/cm/K
- low permeability of steam for all climatic conditions
- resistance against corrosive environment
The lacquer APL of the company Electrolube http://www.electrolube.com met the conditions for the LINEARlight Flex in our tests.

Assembly Information
Connection with soldering wires on unmounted module: Do not pretin the solderpads but pretin the wires and solder for max. 4 s at
300 °C. Allow solderpoints to completely cool down before the next soldering. Prevent shear- or peel forces.
Soldering of wires with the module mounted on a heatsink: Pretin solderpads and wires and solder for max 3 s at 350 °C. Allow
solderpoints to completely cool down before the next soldering. Prevent shear- or peel forces.
The smallest unit (56 mm- 4 LEDs) can be removed by cutting with scissors between the designated solder pads.
The mounting of the module is facilitated by means of the double-sided adhesive on the back-surface of the module. Care must be
taken to provide a clean and dry mounting surface, free of oils or silicone coatings as well as dirt particle. The mounting substrate
must have sufficient structural integrity. Take care to completely remove the adhesive backing. Once the module is appropriately
positioned, press on the module with about 20N/cm² (refer to application techniques of 3M adhesive transfer tapes). Make sure the
module has got a holohedral contact to the mounting surface.
The minimum bending radius is 2 cm. The module may be bent over a smaller radius but only in regions of the circuit board
containing no electronic components and such bends should be made once and fixed in position to avoid cyclic fatigue.
The thermal length expansion coefficient of the modul is 17*10^-6cm/cm/K. When installing in environments with large variations in
temperature (e.g. outdoor applications) and operating length of more than 2 m, the use of metallic mounting surfaces is necessary.
Otherwise it is advisable to use an additional thicker adhesive tape to absorb the stress of any mismatch in expansion coefficients.
