Test conditions and notes11

1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated current and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
2. Please refer to "DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE".
3. De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
4. Length of set up time is measured at first cold start. Turning ON/OFF the power supply may lead to increase of the set up time.
5. The driver is considered as a component that will be operated in combination with final equipment. Since EMC performance will be affected by the complete installation, the final equipment manufacturers must re-qualify EMC Directive on the complete installation again. (as available on https://www.meanwell.com//Upload/PDF/EMI_statement_en.pdf)
6. This series meets the typical life expectancy of >50,000 hours of operation when Tcase, particularly tc point (or TMP, per DLC), is about 80℃ or less.
7. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com.
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. For any application note and IP water proof function installation caution, please refer our user manual before using. https://www.meanwell.com/Upload/PDF/LED_EN.pdf
10. To fulfill requirements of the latest ErP regulation for lighting fixtures, this LED power supply can only be used behind a switch without permanently connected to the mains.
11. For A/AB type need to consider build in using to comply with Type HL application.

FAQ

Can the ELG-240-C700AB drive LED signage or street lighting modules and be dimmed from a lighting controller?

Yes. The ELG-240-C700AB delivers 700mA constant current across a 172–343V range, suitable for long series LED strings in signage and street lighting. The 'AB' designation means it supports both output current adjustment and analog dimming via 0–10V, PWM, or resistance input, allowing integration with standard commercial lighting controllers.

What dimming protocols does the ELG-240-C700AB support?

The 'B' component of the 'AB' suffix indicates analog dimming, which on Mean Well ELG series drivers supports three signal types: 0–10V analog voltage, PWM signal, and resistance control. This covers most conventional lighting control systems used in commercial, architectural, and industrial installations.

Is the ELG-240-C700AB suitable for outdoor LED facade or accent lighting where the driver is inside a weatherproof enclosure?

Yes. With the series' IP65/IP67 protection, the ELG-240-C700AB is protected against dust and water, making it suitable for outdoor weatherproof enclosures used in facade and accent lighting. The -40°C to +85°C case temperature (Tcase) rating covers outdoor climatic extremes, and the 100–305VAC input accepts diverse supply voltages.

How does the ELG-240-C700AB differ from the plain ELG-240-C700 and ELG-240-C700A?

All three are 240.1W, 700mA constant current drivers with a 172–343V CC range. The base ELG-240-C700 has no adjustment or dimming. The ELG-240-C700A offers output current adjustability only. The ELG-240-C700AB adds both output adjustability and analog dimming. Choose based on whether you need adjustment and dimming control.

How many LEDs can the ELG-240-C700AB support in a series string?

The driver provides 700mA constant current with an output voltage window of 172–343V. The actual number of LEDs per string is determined by each LED's forward voltage — the total forward voltages in the series must sum to a value between 172V and 343V. No single count applies across all LED types.

What global certifications does the ELG-240-C700AB carry?

The ELG-240-C700AB is approved to UL8750 (Type HL), CSA C22.2 No. 250.13-12, BS EN/EN/AS/NZS 61347-1 and 61347-2-13, EN62384, GB/T19510, KC61347 and EAC TP TC 020, covering North America, Europe, China, Australia, Korea and Russia/CIS markets. It accepts 100–305VAC universal input.
