Warnings and instructions
Safety warnings and installation instructions, to be taken into account during design-in and manufacturing
- Do not use damaged products.
- The luminaire manufacturer is responsible for its own luminaire design and compliance with all relevant safety standards including minimum required IP rating to protect the driver.
- The Xitanium LED Xtreme drivers are suitable for built-in use only and must be protected against ingress of and exposure to including but not limited to snow, water, ice, dust, insects or any other chemical agent – be it in the gaseous, vapor, liquid or solid form- which can be expected to have an adverse effect on the driver (e.g. use in wet /corrosive / dusty environments). It is the responsibility of both luminaire manufacturer and installer to prevent ingress and exposure. Any suggestion from Signify with reference to minimum required luminaire IP rating serves only as non-binding guidance; a higher IP rating may be required under certain application conditions to protect the driver. Common sense needs to be used in order to define the proper luminaire IP rating for the intended application.
- Do not service the driver when mains voltage is connected; this includes connecting or disconnecting the LED module. The driver generates an output voltage of the driver that may be lethal. Connecting a LED module to an energized driver may damage the LED module.
- Do not connect mains voltage to the driver DALI interface.
- No components are allowed to be connected between the LED driver and the LED module(s) other than connectors and wiring intended to connect the Xitanium driver to the LED module. Do not connect the outputs of multiple drivers in parallel.
- Adequate protective earth and/or equipotential connections needs to be provided whenever possible or applicable.
- Signify Design-in support is available; please contact your Signify sales representative.

Examples of Xitanium LED Xtreme drivers
Xitanium LED Xtreme driver families: general feature overview
Note: Please refer to the applicable driver datasheet for an exact feature overview; depending on driver type not all indicated features may be supported.
Configurability Interface (tooling)
The Xitanium FP/LP/BP LED Xtreme drivers are programmable. A tailored package of features and parameters in these drivers can be configured via a specific tool and interface to the tool. This tool is the MultiOne Configurator. There are two types of interface technology used to communicate with this tool:
- DALI interface (wired)
- SimpleSet (wireless, based on NFC)
Xitanium LED Xtreme drivers
Xitanium LED Xtreme drivers are designed to enable LED solution for general lighting applications. In the coming years LEDs will
continue to increase in efficiency, creating generation and complexity challenges for OEMs. With Xitanium LED Xtreme drivers, flexibility in luminaire design is assured thanks to adjustable output current flexibility. Application-oriented operating windows offer the flexibility required to provide the stable lumen output and
light quality levels that lighting specifiers and architects demand. The adjustable output current also enables operation of various LED PCB solutions from different manufacturers.
Xitanium LED Xtreme driver versions
The overview on the left lists in more detail the general differences between available features of the different driver versions. These drivers come in a wide range of power ratings and sizes that enable
the most popular light output levels for general outdoor and highbay applications. It is always highly recommended to check our
latest Xitanium LED Xtreme driver leaflet for the most up-to-date overview of our range.
SimpleSet
Philips SimpleSet wireless programming technology allows luminaire
manufacturers to quickly and easily program Xitanium LED Xtreme drivers in any stage during of the manufacturing process without a connection to mains power, offering great flexibility. As a result,
orders can be met faster while reducing cost and inventory.
Adjustable Output Current (AOC)
Flexibility in luminaire design is ensured by the Adjustable Output Current feature (AOC). This feature enables operation of various LED configurations from different LED manufacturers whilst also ensuring the solution remains “future-proof” for new LED generations. The output current can be configured with the Philips MultiOne Software and the SimpleSet interface. More information about AOC and how to set the output current can be found in the section Electrical design-in.
LED Module Temperature Protection (MTP)
Adjustable limitation of thermal stress on the LED module is made possible by the Module Temperature Protection (MTP) feature combined with an NTC resistor integrated in the LED module.More details about MTP and the NTC resistor can be found in the Section Thermal design-in.
Driver Temperature Limit (DTL)
Adjustable limitation of thermal stress on the driver is made possible by the DTL feature on select drivers by means of an NTC resistor integrated in the driver. Depending on luminaire design, DTL can also be used as alternative for MTP. More details about DTL can be found in the section Thermal design-in.
Dimming interfaces
Interfacing with the Xitanium LED Xtreme drivers can be done via
control interfaces as listed below:
- DALI
- 1-10V
- LineSwitch
- Mains input (AmpDim and Coded Mains)
Supported control interfaces can be found in the naming of the drivers (see section Driver naming).
Amplitude Modulation (AM) dimming
Philips Xitanium LED Xtreme drivers dim the output to the LEDs by means of continuous Amplitude Modulation (AM) dimming of the DC output current. No Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is applied
across any part of the entire output current range. AM dimming guarantees the smoothest and flicker-free operation over the entire dimming range.
Temporal Light Artifacts (flicker & stroboscopic effects)
A small inherent ripple is superimposed on the DC output current of Philips LED Xtreme drivers. This ripple consists of a lowfrequency LF component (double the mains grid frequency) and a high-frequency HF component. This ripple current has such a low amplitude that Temporal Light Artifacts (flicker & stroboscopic effects) with camera systems other than possibly those for highspeed slow-motion HD recording are not be expected.
The ripple value of both LF and HF components as well as the values for TLA parameters short term flicker value (Pst LM)and Stroboscopic Visibility Measure (SVM) are specified in the driver datasheet.
Energy and luminaire data
Select Xitanium LED Xtreme drivers support energy reporting in compliance with DALI part 252 (with limited accuracy) as well as storing of luminaire data in compliance with DALI part 251 . Please
refer to the driver datasheet for more details.
Hot-wiring and output sharing
Warning: Philips LED Xtreme drivers do not support hot-wiring. In order to prevent damage to LEDs, no connection or disconnection should be made to the driver output when mains voltage is present.Please ensure that power is turned off before doing so.
Connecting driver outputs in parallel or the sharing of multiple LED+or LED- connections in one wire is not supported either. Outputs of individual drivers must be kept fully separated.
DC mains operation
Most Xitanium LED Xtreme drivers support use in a DC power grid(e.g. central emergency system). The driver behavior once switched to DC input voltage can be programmed via MultiOne software.More details about DC input voltage suitability can be found in the driver datasheet.
Constant Light Output (CLO)
Traditional light sources suffer from depreciation in light output over time. This applies to LED light sources as well. The CLO feature enables LED solutions to deliver a constant lumen output throughout the life of the LED module. Based on the type of LEDs used, heat sinking and driver output current, a correction of the lumen depreciation can be entered into the driver. The driver then counts the number of operating hours and will correct the output current based on this input.
Since a CLO curve is not generic, the OEM needs to determine the appropriate CLO curve. This can be used to differentiate on e.g.lumen output or power consumption over lifetime.
The CLO feature can be programmed with the Philips MultiOne configurator tool.
OEM Write Protection (OWP)
OWP allows the OEM to protect crucial driver setting over the lifetime of the driver by using a password. Select drivers equipped with OWP will show this in the feature list if read out by the tool MultiOne. Specific features and also the OWP feature itself can be enabled and protected with that password to prevent unauthorized changes. The password management is under the responsibility of the company which is setting it.
Driver diagnostics
Xitanium LED Xtreme drivers are equipped with a Diagnostics feature. The purpose of Diagnostics is based on the following:
- Readout of realtime driver diagnostic data (Xi FP drivers only)
- Readout of logged diagnostic data (event-based).
Both support the gathering of information and to diagnose the history of the driver and connected LED module. The Diagnostics feature consist mainly of counters which keep track of specific variables like the number of startups of the driver, operating hours, temperature of driver and LED module, output current and voltages etc. When the driver is shutdown the diagnostics data is stored automatically in non-volatile memory.
The Diagnostics feature can be utilized programmed with the Philips MultiOne configurator tool. Select drivers also support diagnostics per DALI part 253. Both realtime and event-based diagnostic data can
be obtained via the DALI interface of Xi FP drivers while SimpleSet supports reading out event-based diagnostic data.
Use in hazardous areas
Warning: the use of lighting control gear in hazardous areas is bound to very strict safety regulations. Xitanium LED Xtreme drivers are not certified per standard IEC/EN 60079 and latest EU directive ATEX for use in hazardous areas in which there is risk of explosion. Therefore, Xitanium LED Xtreme drivers do not directly support application in luminaires and lighting systems in such environments.
Driver naming
Xitanium LED Xtreme drivers are part of a specific naming system.See the example below.
