Test conditions and notes9
  1. 1. All parameters are specified at 230VAC input, rated load, 25℃ 70% RH ambient.
  2. 2. DC voltage: The output voltage set at point measure by plug terminal & 50% load.
  3. 3. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz by using a 12" twisted pair terminated with a 0.1μF & 47μF capacitor.
  4. 4. Tolerance: includes set up tolerance, line regulation, load regulation.
  5. 5. Line regulation is measured from low line to high line at rated load.
  6. 6. 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.
  7. 7. Derating may be needed under low input voltage. Please check the derating curve for more details.
  8. 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. 9. The power supply is considered as an independent unit, but the final equipment still need to re-confirm that the whole system complies with the 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 )
