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-C700A be used to drive LED modules in an outdoor architectural lighting installation?

Yes. The ELG-240-C700A delivers 700mA constant current across a 172–343V range, which suits series strings of LED modules used in architectural and facade lighting. The series' IP65/IP67 rating provides protection against rain and dust ingress, and the -40°C to +85°C case temperature (Tcase) rating covers outdoor temperature extremes in most climates.

What does the 'A' suffix mean on the ELG-240-C700A, and how is the output adjusted?

The 'A' suffix indicates the driver includes an output current adjustment function via a built-in potentiometer. This allows the 700mA nominal output to be trimmed downward (350–700mA) to match the rated current of the connected LED load, without replacing the driver.

Is the ELG-240-C700A rated for damp or wet outdoor environments?

The ELG-240-C series carries an IP65 or IP67 rating, protecting it against dust ingress and water. This suits outdoor enclosures and damp locations; follow MEAN WELL's installation cautions for the IP waterproof function (user manual) before installing outdoors.

How many LEDs can be connected in series to the ELG-240-C700A?

The driver supplies 700mA constant current with an output voltage range of 172–343V. The number of LEDs per series string depends on each LED's individual forward voltage — the summed forward voltages of the string must fall within the 172–343V window. There is no fixed LED count applicable to all LED types.

How does the ELG-240-C700A compare to the ELG-240-C700AB in dimming features?

Both models share 240.1W, 700mA constant current, and a 172–343V CC range. The ELG-240-C700A provides output current adjustability only, with no dimming interface. The ELG-240-C700AB adds analog dimming (0–10V / PWM / resistance) on top of the output adjustability. Choose the AB model if dynamic dimming control is needed alongside the trim function.

Can the ELG-240-C700A drive LED signage modules at high series voltage?

Yes. With an output voltage range of 172–343V and 700mA constant current, the ELG-240-C700A is designed for high-voltage series LED strings such as those used in large LED signage modules or street lighting fixtures. The adjustable function adds flexibility to tune the drive current to match the specific module's rated current.
