ELP CL, ELP WW: Thermal Protection and Automatic Output Reduction

Escalation Article

Brand:

  • Martin

Affected Products:

  • ELP CL, ELP CL WHITE
  • ELP WW,  ELP WW WHITE

Summary:

To improve long-term reliability and reduce thermal stress on critical components, we've introduced an improved power-supply design along with a firmware update (version 1.2.0) for ELP Ellipsoidal fixtures in July, 2024.  

When the LED board temperature reaches approximately 70°C, the fixture automatically reduces output power by 10W.


Troubleshooting:

In some earlier product versions, rare power supply failures have been linked to the NTC thermistor used in the PSU input circuit.  A failed or damaged thermistor may result in the fixture not powering on, intermittent operation, unexpected shutdowns, or thermal-related fault symptoms.  To avoid that, please update the fixtures to the latest available firmware version.  If you have an already faulty PSU, please replace it with a new, upgraded one.

If the procedure above did not resolve your issue, please contact HARMAN Support for next steps.
