Overview

DRS-240-24 is the 24V output model of this series: typical efficiency 92%.

DRS-240 is a 240W AC/DC DIN rail type security power supply series. In addition to the primary output, there is an additional charger circuit that will automatically adjust charge current depending on the primary output current. DRS-240 accepts the universal input between 90VAC and 305VAC, and supports output 12VDC, 24VDC, 36VDC, and 48VDC nominal systems. With high efficiency up to 92%, it can operate with free air convection cooling under -30℃ through 70℃ambient temperature. In addition to the key protection features such as overload protection, over voltage protection, battery low voltage disconnect, and battery reverse polarity protection, the DRS-240 also provides Form-C contacts and LED indicator alarm signals for AC-fail, battery low, charger circuit fail, and DC-OK to allow easy integration into security systems that comply with local alarm codes.

Test conditions and notes10

1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
2. Variable with charger voltage when battery is connected.
3. This is Mean Well's suggested range. Please consult your battery manufacturer for their suggestions about maximum charging current limitation.
4. If load current increases, the system will prioritize load current demand and automatically reduce the battery charging current.
5. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12" twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1μF & 47μF parallel capacitor.
6. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
7. Length of set up time is measured at cold first start. Turning ON/OFF the power supply may lead to increase of the set up time.
8. The ambient temperature derating of 3.5℃/1000m with fanless models and of 5℃/1000m with fan models for operating altitude higher than 2000m(6500ft).
9. Installation clearances : 40mm on top, 20mm on the bottom, 5mm on the left and right side are recommended when loaded permanently with full power. In case the adjacent device is a heat source, 15cm clearance is recommended.
10. The power supply is considered a component which will be installed into a final equipment. All the EMC tests are been executed by mounting the unit on a 720mm*360mm metal plate with 1mm of thickness. The final equipment must be re-confirmed that it still meets EMC directives. For guidance on how to perform these EMC tests, please refer to "EMI testing of component power supplies." (as available on https://www.meanwell.com//Upload/PDF/EMI_statement_en.pdf )

FAQ

What is the Mean Well DRS-240-24 designed for?

The DRS-240-24 is an all-in-one intelligent security power unit that combines a 24V DC power supply, DC-UPS, battery charger, and status monitoring in one compact DIN rail form factor. It is intended for security and related backup-power applications where power continuity and status signaling are important.

What are the main output specifications of the DRS-240-24?

This model is rated for 240W total output with a nominal 24V DC output, a 0 to 10A load current range, and up to 7.7A battery charging current. It also includes overload protection rated at 105% to 135% of rated output power and over voltage protection on the load output at 32.4V to 37.3V.

Does the DRS-240-24 support battery backup functions?

Yes. This model integrates DC-UPS and battery charging functions into the same unit, with the load taking priority and the charging current reduced automatically as load current rises. It supports both lead acid and lithium-ion batteries, with selectable 2-stage or 3-stage charging and adjustable charging current from 20% to 100%.

What monitoring and alarm features are included in the DRS-240-24?

The DRS-240-24 includes Form C relay contacts and LED indicators for AC Fail, Battery Low, Charger Fail, and DC-OK status. It also has built-in MODBus protocol support, and CANBus is available as an option for broader monitoring and system integration needs.

Can the DRS-240-24 operate in demanding temperature conditions?

Yes. This model is rated for operation from -30°C to +70°C, with load derating at higher ambient temperatures according to the derating curve, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial and security environments. The unit also includes over temperature protection with auto derating.

What input range and approvals does the DRS-240-24 have?

The unit accepts a wide AC input range of 90 to 305VAC, with 127 to 431VDC also supported. It is approved to UL62368-1, BS EN/EN62368-1, RCM AS/NZS 62368.1 and EAC TP TC 004, and it complies with BS EN/EN54-4 for fire detection and fire alarm systems.

What makes the DRS-240-24 different from a standard DIN rail power supply?

Unlike a standard DIN rail power supply that only provides DC output, the DRS-240-24 combines power supply, UPS, battery charging, and status monitoring in one unit. That makes it better suited to security and backup-power applications where battery support and alarm signaling are required.
