Test conditions and notes11

1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 347VAC 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.
12. This product is intended for North America and EU lighting equipment application. Please contact your MEAN WELL sales if you have other using.

FAQ

Can I use the HVGC-240-700B for outdoor LED downlights with long LED strings?

Yes, if the downlight assembly requires constant current at 700mA and its combined LED forward voltage is within the 171.4-342.8V constant current range. This 240W driver is intended for current-driven LED loads, not constant voltage strips or modules. The HVGC-240 series' IP65/IP67 approval also suits exposed outdoor fixture environments.

Is this driver a fit for waterproof signage or display lighting arrays?

It can be, as long as the LED array is designed for 700mA constant current and the total forward voltage stays within 171.4-342.8V. That makes it relevant to higher-voltage series LED assemblies rather than the more common constant voltage signage systems. The series' IP65/IP67 approval is a practical advantage where the driver may face moisture exposure.

Can the HVGC-240-700B run a series-connected small LED array in a harsh environment?

Yes, when the array is specified for 700mA constant current and the total forward voltage is within 171.4-342.8V. The HVGC-240 series is IP65 or IP67 approved and specified for a working case temperature (Tcase) of -40°C to +90°C, so it suits demanding locations. It should still only be used with constant current LED assemblies, not constant voltage loads.

How do I tell whether my LEDs are electrically compatible with this model?

Your LEDs must need 700mA constant current, and their combined forward voltage must operate within the 171.4-342.8V constant current range. The number of LEDs depends on the forward voltage of each LED, so there is no fixed LED quantity that always matches this driver. If the LED product is specified for constant voltage input, this is not the correct driver type.

What makes the HVGC-240-700B different for environmental exposure?

The HVGC-240 series is IP65 or IP67 approved and is specified for a working case temperature (Tcase) of -40°C to +90°C, with load derating at higher temperatures. Those specs make it suited to outdoor locations where an enclosed, sealed driver matters.

How does the HVGC-240-700B fit into the 240W HVGC family?

The 240W HVGC family spans 700mA at 171.4-342.8V, 1050mA at 114.3-228.6V, 1400mA at 85.7-171.4V, 1750mA at 68.5-137.1V, 2100mA at 57.2-114.3V, 2800mA at 42.9-85.7V, and 3500mA at 34.3-68.6V. The HVGC-240-700B is the 240W, 700mA dimmable option in that group. Compared with the higher-current versions, it is intended for LED loads with a much higher total forward voltage.
