Overview

DRS-240-36 is the 36V 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 )

Is the DRS-240-36 suitable for demanding environmental conditions?

Yes, this model is specified for operation from -30°C to +70°C, with load derating at higher ambient temperatures according to the derating curve. It includes over-temperature protection with auto derating, which supports use in tougher industrial environments.

What monitoring and alarm features are included in the DRS-240-36?

The unit 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, with CANBus available as an option, for broader system monitoring integration.

What protection features does the DRS-240-36 include?

The DRS-240-36 includes protection for short circuit, overload, over voltage, over temperature with auto derating, battery reverse polarity, and battery cut off. These built-in protections help support reliability in critical power applications.

What standards and approvals does the DRS-240-36 meet?

This model is approved to UL62368-1, BS EN/EN62368-1, RCM AS/NZS 62368.1 and EAC TP TC 004 safety standards. It complies with BS EN/EN54-4 for fire detection and fire alarm systems, and it also lists EMC compliance including EN55032 Class B.
