Test conditions and notes8
- 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 0.1μF & 47μF parallel capacitor.
- 3. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
- 4. Line regulation is measured from low line to high line at rated load.
- 5. Load regulation is measured from 0% to 100% rated load.
- 6. The power supply is considered a component which will be installed into a final equipment. 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.” (as available on https://www.meanwell.com//Upload/PDF/EMI_statement_en.pdf )
- 7. Length of set up time is measured at cold first start. Turning ON/OFF the power supply very quickly may lead to increase of the set up time.
- 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).

FAQ
Can I use the RS-100-12 for a 12V PLC, relay, or control panel load?
Yes, this model is a constant-voltage 12V supply rated for 8.5A and 102W. That fits enclosed industrial control loads that require a 12V rail and stay within those output limits.
Is the RS-100-12 a good fit for 12V CCTV, access control, or security hardware inside a protected enclosure?
It can be used for 12V security or low-voltage control equipment when the combined load remains within 8.5A and 102W. The wide 88-264VAC input also supports use in installations that need a broad AC input range.
Can this model power 12V embedded computing or industrial communication equipment?
It is suitable for enclosed IT or embedded systems that need 12V constant voltage up to 8.5A. The 159.0 × 97.0 × 38.0 mm form factor can also help in compact equipment housings.
Is the RS-100-12 intended for outdoor use?
The listed operating range is -25°C to +70°C, but no IP rating is provided in the specs. With no stated ingress-protection rating, the listed data supports use in protected indoor enclosures rather than exposed outdoor areas.
How does the RS-100-12 compare with other RS-100 models?
Within the RS-100 group in the provided data, RS-100-3.3 is 66W at 3.3V 20A, RS-100-5 is 80W at 5V 16A, RS-100-12 is 102W at 12V 8.5A, RS-100-15 is 105W at 15V 7A, RS-100-24 is 108W at 24V 4.5A, and RS-100-48 is 110.4W at 48V 2.3A. RS-100-12-OB is also listed, but no power, voltage, or current figures are provided for that variant in the supplied data.
