Will a MeanWell B series driver work without a dimmer?

[HockeyBeard]

I accidentally (or maybe I didn't have the option) ordered a B series driver, so I've got cables that will go to a POT for trimming. My question is, will this driver work without anything wired there, or do I have to go find a 100k pot to finish this?

No worries, It will work as is.

I just did the same thing. I thought the pot dimmer was on the b series only and just found after ordering it's for wires instead. How do I use it without a pot?

There's no problem with using that, just insulate the leads. Great option to have for later, at least that's how I see it.

So you mean if the leads are not wired to anything the driver runs at 100%?

Yes. Just make sure the two wires don't close the circuit. That tape I can't remember the name of is sweet. Electrical tape? I'm so broke I used individual wagos since I at the time couldn't afford tape lol. It looks so good I forgot about it, now I have to go shopping...

Theres a few here who say with the dim leads open or "capped off" the driver runs above 100% like something around 105% to 108%
