Test conditions and notes5
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at normal input(24V) , rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
- 2. Every 30 seconds, unit will test the battery.If the testing result is faulty, unit will turn on "Battery Fail" relay contact and "Red LED" indicator.
- 3. Derating may be needed over high ambient temperature. Please check the derating curve for more details.
- 4. 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).
- 5.The unit is considered a component which will be installed into a final equipment. All the EMC tests are been executed by mounting the unit on a 360*720mm metal plate with 1mm of thickness. The final equipment must be re-confirmed that it still meets EMC directives. For guidance on how to perform these EMC tests,please refer to "EMI testing of component power supplies."

FAQ
What is the Mean Well DUPS40 used for?
The Mean Well DUPS40 is a DIN rail DC-UPS module designed to maintain continuous DC power during an AC mains failure or interruption. It is intended for systems where downtime is a problem, including data centers, security systems, emergency lighting, wireless communication UPS applications, and central monitoring systems.
What backup battery range is the DUPS40 designed for?
This model is designed for 24V lead-acid battery packs (2 x 12V in series or 1 x 24V) with capacities from 4Ah to 135Ah. That range gives buyers flexibility to size backup duration based on the needs of the connected system.
What are the main electrical ratings of the DUPS40?
The DUPS40 is rated for 40A, with a 24 ~ 29Vdc input range and a 21 ~ 29Vdc output voltage range. It also includes a 2A battery charging current, making it suitable for DC backup power applications built around 24V battery systems.
How does the DUPS40 help protect system uptime?
When the AC mains fails or is interrupted, the DUPS40 supplies the load from the external 24V battery pack. This supports continued operation of critical equipment, with buffering time depending on the load current and the external battery capacity used.
Is the DUPS40 suitable for demanding industrial environments?
The DUPS40 has an operating temperature range of -30°C to 70°C (derating applies at higher ambient temperatures, see the derating curve) and is cooled by free air convection. Its DIN rail form factor also makes it practical for control cabinets and panel-based systems where space and serviceability matter.
Does the DUPS40 include battery protection features?
Yes, the DUPS40 cuts off battery discharging by relay when the battery falls below 21V, and also provides battery reverse-polarity protection and over-discharge-current cut-off (42~46A after 3 seconds). This helps protect the connected battery pack from excessive discharge during backup operation.
