Description

XLG-240 series is a 240W LED AC/DC driver featuring the constant power mode. XLG-240 operates from 100~305VAC and offers models with different rated current ranging between 700mA and 6.66A. Thanks to the high efficiency up to 93%, with the fanless design, the entire series is able to operate for -40°C ~+90°C case temperature under free air convection. The design of metal housing and IP67 ingress protection level allows this series to fit both indoor and outdoor applications. Moreover the innovative environment-adaptive capability allows this series to reliably light on the LEDs for all kinds of application environments in almost any spots that may install LED luminaires in the world. XLG-240 is designed with the latest version of IEC61347/GB19510.1 and UL8750 international safety regulations. The output and dimming circuit are also completely in accordance with the new regulations with isolation to ensure the user and luminaire system safety durng installation.

All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230 VAC input, rated current and 25 C of ambient temperature.
Please refer to “DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE”.
Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12″ twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1uf & 47uf parallel capacitor
Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.If continually operate with AC on/off in short time, it may causes PWM driver IC into protection status.
Length of set up time is measured at first cold start. Turning ON/OFF the driver may lead to increase of the set up time
Only for XLG-240 l series, and Iseries without UL/CSA certificate.
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.
This series meets the typical life expectancy of >50,000 hours of operation when Tcase, particularly (te point (or TMP, per DLC), is about 75°C or less.
Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL’s website at http://www.meanwell.com
To fulfill requirements of the latest ErP regulation for lighting fixtures, this LED driver can only be used behind a switch without permanently connected to the mains.
The ambient temperature derating of 3.5°C/1000m with fanless models and of 5°C/1000m with fan models for operating altitude higher than 2000m(6500ft).
H type : RCM is on a voluntary basis. Non IC classification Independent LED control gear is not suitable for residential installations. M, L type : RCM is on a voluntary basis and meets relevant IEC or AS/NZS standards complying with AS/NZS 4417.1.
Products sourced from the Americas regions may not have the CCC/PSE/BIS/KC logo. Please contact your MEAN WELL sales for more information.
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
When the current adjustment is more than 110% of the rated current, it will be enter the Protection state.
It may has an over-shoot status at output current when AC On/Off operate with lower Vf and lower loading conditions.
