Test conditions and notes10
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
- 2. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12" twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1uf & 47uf parallel capacitor.
- 3. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
- 4. Derating may be needed under low input voltages. Please check the static characteristics for more details.
- 5. A type only.
- 6. Safety and EMC design refer to BS EN/EN60598-1, CNS15233, GB7000.1, FCC part18.
- 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 power supply 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)
- 9. The water protection level test for the IP68 rating is performed 1000mm below the surface of the water for 1 month.
- 10. 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).

FAQ
Can I use the HEP-185-24 for a 24V industrial control panel with PLCs, HMIs, and relays?
Yes, this model is a 24V constant-voltage supply rated for 187.2W and 7.8A, which fits many 24VDC industrial control systems. Its 90-264VAC input (277VAC operational) also suits facilities with varying AC mains. The IP68 rating and operating range of -55°C to +70°C (subject to the derating curve) make it a practical choice for harsh industrial environments.
Is the HEP-185-24 suitable for outdoor 24V automation equipment or enclosure-based systems?
This version is the IP68 model, so it is intended for demanding indoor or outdoor environments where a sealed power supply is needed. It is rated to operate from -55°C to +70°C, subject to the derating curve. That makes it better suited to exposed or harsh locations than an indoor-only supply.
Can the HEP-185-24 power a 24V LED lighting or signage system that needs more than 150W?
It can fit 24V constant-voltage lighting or signage loads as long as the total load stays within 187.2W and 7.8A. With a 187.2W rating, this model provides output headroom above 150W for larger 24V loads. Its IP68 enclosure also makes it more appropriate for harsher locations.
Would the HEP-185-24 work for 24V embedded or transport-related electronics in high-vibration areas?
It is specified to withstand 10G vibration (20-500Hz along the X, Y and Z axes), which supports use in vibration-prone equipment. The output is 24V constant voltage at up to 7.8A, so it fits 24V embedded and control loads that stay inside that rating. Its IP68 rating also adds protection against dust and water.
How does the HEP-185-24 compare with the other HEP-185 voltage options?
Within the HEP-185 range, the electrical options are 156W at 12V and 13A, 172W at 15V and 11.5A, 187.2W at 24V and 7.8A, 187.2W at 36V and 5.2A, 187.2W at 48V and 3.9A, and 186.3W at 54V and 3.45A. The HEP-185-24 and HEP-185-24A share the same 187.2W, 24V, and 7.8A electrical rating. The main difference across these models is the output voltage and matching current rating.
