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

What types of LED lighting systems is the ELG-240-C700 designed for?

The ELG-240-C700 delivers 700mA constant current across a 172–343V output range, making it appropriate for long series strings of LED modules with high combined forward voltage — a common configuration in large-format LED signage, street lighting, and high-bay LED fixtures. At 240.1W total power, it can supply substantial series strings of higher-voltage LEDs.

Can the ELG-240-C700 be used in outdoor street lighting or area lighting fixtures?

Yes. The ELG-240-C series is rated IP65 or IP67, protecting it against dust and water, and the driver is rated for a case temperature (Tcase) of -40°C to +85°C, which suits outdoor street and area lighting.

How many LEDs can the ELG-240-C700 drive in a series string?

The driver outputs 700mA constant current with a voltage range of 172–343V. The number of LEDs in the series string depends on each LED's forward voltage — the sum of all forward voltages must fall within the 172–343V window. No universal LED count applies since forward voltage varies by LED model.

Does the ELG-240-C700 include dimming or output adjustment capability?

No. The base ELG-240-C700 model does not include dimming or output adjustment. For those features, Mean Well offers the ELG-240-C700A (adjustable output), ELG-240-C700B (analog dimming), and ELG-240-C700AB (adjustable and analog dimming) variants within the same series at identical power and current ratings.

Is the ELG-240-C700 suitable for an LED array in a large outdoor advertising sign?

Yes. The combination of a 172–343V output range and 700mA drive current accommodates long series strings of LED modules as used in large outdoor signs. The series' IP65/IP67 rating protects the driver from rain, and the 100–305VAC input handles diverse mains supplies. For signs requiring brightness control, the ELG-240-C700A or C700B variants add adjustment or dimming capability.

What certifications does the ELG-240-C700 carry?

The ELG-240-C700 is approved to UL8750 (Type HL), CSA C22.2 No. 250.13-12, BS EN/EN/AS/NZS 61347-1 and 61347-2-13, EN62384, GB/T19510, KC61347 and EAC TP TC 020, covering markets in North America, Europe, China, Australia, Korea and Russia/CIS. BIS IS15885 applies to the 700A/1050A versions only.
