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-185-24A for a 24V factory automation cabinet or machine-control system?
Yes, it is a 24V constant-voltage power supply rated for 187.2W and 7.8A, which fits many 24VDC automation loads. The wide 90-264VAC input (277VAC operational) helps when the incoming AC supply varies across sites. Its IP65-rated enclosure also suits industrial equipment where a dust-tight, water-resistant, low-maintenance supply is preferred.
Is the HEP-185-24A a good fit for 24V security, access control, or industrial communications equipment?
It can be used where the equipment requires a regulated 24VDC source and the total load stays within 187.2W and 7.8A. That makes it a fit for many 24V control, access, and communications devices that share a common DC bus. The constant-voltage output is the key requirement for those types of loads.
Is the HEP-185-24A suitable for outdoor or washdown-prone locations?
This version is rated IP65 water-resistant, so it is better suited to dusty or wet industrial environments than a non-sealed power supply. It is specified for operation from -55°C to +70°C, subject to the derating curve. For applications needing a more fully sealed version, the sibling HEP-185-24 is the IP68 model.
What are the main differences between the HEP-185-24A and the other HEP-185 models?
The HEP-185 family includes 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-185-24A has the same 187.2W, 24V, and 7.8A electrical rating as the HEP-185-24. The model choice mainly comes down to required output voltage and current, with this version using an IP65 water-resistant enclosure.
