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 I use the ELG-240-C700B to drive a large LED signage cabinet?

Yes. The ELG-240-C700B delivers 240.1W at a constant 700mA, with a CC voltage range of 172–343V, making it well suited for long LED signage strings where high voltage and consistent current are required. The series' IP65/IP67 rating also allows it to be mounted inside or adjacent to outdoor sign enclosures.

Is the ELG-240-C700B suitable for outdoor LED downlight arrays?

The ELG-240-C series carries an IP65 or IP67 rating and the driver is rated for a case temperature (Tcase) of -40°C to +85°C, so it can be installed in exposed outdoor locations. Its 240.1W output at 700mA supports high-power LED downlight arrays whose combined forward voltage falls within the 172–343V operating range.

Can this driver power a series string of high-bay LED modules?

Yes, the ELG-240-C700B runs constant current at 700mA across a compliant LED load within its 172–343V CC output range. The actual number of modules that fit in series depends on the forward voltage of each LED module — the total forward voltages must sum within that range.

Does the ELG-240-C700B support dimming, and what method does it use?

Yes. The 'B' suffix indicates 3-in-1 dimming: the output current can be adjusted by applying 0–10VDC, a 10V PWM signal or a resistance between DIM+ and DIM-. It has no potentiometer; that is the A/AB-Type feature.

What dimming variants are available in the ELG-240-C700 family?

The ELG-240-C700 series offers several options: the base C700 has no adjustment or dimming, the C700A has a built-in potentiometer for current adjustment, the C700B has 3-in-1 dimming (0–10VDC / 10V PWM / resistance), the C700AB combines both, and the C700DA supports DALI dimming. All share the same 240W/700mA rating.

Can the ELG-240-C700B be installed outdoors without additional weatherproofing?

The ELG-240-C series is rated IP65 or IP67, protecting it against dust and water. It is suitable for outdoor installation in most climates given its -40°C to +85°C case temperature (Tcase) rating; follow MEAN WELL's installation cautions for the IP waterproof function.

What input voltage range does the ELG-240-C700B accept?

The driver accepts 100–305VAC, making it compatible with both standard 120V North American supplies and 230V European or international mains. This wide input range eliminates the need for separate models per region.
