DG-087008 MODEL No. GW5BNF15L10 Page 11/12 7. Precautions Storage conditions Please follow the conditions below. Before opened Temperature 530, humidity less than 60%RH After opened Temperature 530, humidity less than 60%RH (Please apply soldering within 1 week.) Avoid exposing to air with corrosive gas. If exposed, electrode surface would be damaged, which may affect soldering. Usage conditions The products are not designed for the use under any of the following conditions. Please confirm their performance and reliability well enough if you use under any of the following conditions; In a place with a lot of moisture, dew condensation, briny air, and corrosive gas (Cl, H2S, NH3, SO2, NOX, etc.). Under the direct sunlight, outdoor exposure, and in a dusty place. In water, oil, medical fluid, and organic solvent. Heat radiation If the forward current(IF) is applied to single-state module at 360mA, there is a risk of damaging module or emitting smoke. Equip with specified heat radiator, and avoid heat stuffed inside the module. Applying thermal conductive sheet or grease between module and heat radiator enables heat to radiate effectively. Installation Material of board is alumina ceramic. If installed inappropriately, trouble of no radiation may occur due to board crack. Please take particular notice of install method. Further information on installation, refer to the following cautions. Apply ether screws or adhesives, or both of them when installed to heat radiator. In case of applying adhesive only, check the effectiveness before fixing. In case of screw, apply thread locker in order to prevent loosening. If LED comes off from the heat radiator, unusual temperature rise entails hazardous phenomena including device deterioration, coming off of solder at leads, and emitting smoke. Refer to recommended dimensions when installing with screws. Screw torque: Within 0.2N If it is inefficient to tighten screws, apply locker to prevent loosening. It is recommended to apply screws which use low corrosive materials such as Stainless steel. Avoid applying flat-head screws, which cause board crack due to applying stress to screw holes. Avoid convexly uneven boards. Those convex boards are subject to crack when tightening screws. It is recommended to apply thermal conductive sheet or grease with adhesiveness and heat radiatingadhesives, because of thermal and mechanical combination between module and heat radiator. However, depending on their thickness, board crack may be entailed by warped board, which is caused when tightening screws. So please check your actual conditions carefully as for the screw torque. This specification is reference. DG-087008 MODEL No. GW5BNF15L10 Page 12/12 Module surface strength Module surface is subject to mechanical stress. Applying stress to surface of modules results in damage on resin, and inside-failure. Connecting method In case of solder connecting method, apply solder to the leads by soldering iron with thermo controller (tip temperature 380), within 10seconds per one place. Put the board on materials whose conductivity is poor enough not to radiate heat of soldering. Avoid touching yellow phosphor with soldering iron. This product is not designed for reflow and flow soldering. Static electricity This product is subject to static electricity, so take measures to cope with it. Install circuit protection device to drive circuit, if necessary. Drive method Module is composed of LEDs connected in both series and parallel. Constant voltage power supply runs off more than specified current amount due to lowered VF caused by temperature rise. Constant current power supply is recommended to drive. Any reverse voltage cannot be applied to LEDs when they are in operation or not. Design a circuit so that any flow of reverse or forward voltage can not be applied to LEDs when they are out of operation. Cleaning Avoid cleaning, since silicone resin is eroded by it. Color-tone variation Chromaticity of this product is monitored by integrating sphere right after the operation. Chromaticity varies depending on measuring method, light spread condition, or ambient temperature. Please verify your actual conditions before use. Safety Looking directly at LEDs for a long time may result in hurt your eyes. In case that excess current(over ratings) are supplied to the device, hazardous phenomena including abnormal heat generation, emitting smoke, or catching fire can be caused. Take appropriate measures to excess current and voltage. In case of solder connecting method, there is a possibility of fatigue failure by heat. Please fix the leads in such case to protect from short circuit or leakage of electricity caused by contact. Please confirm the safety standards or regulations of application devices.
