Product Usage Instructions
- Ensure that the power supply is disconnected from the power source before installation. Connect the L line to the positive pole and the N line to the negative pole under DC input.
- Operate the power supply within the specified temperature range of -30°C to +70°C and humidity range of 20% to 90% RH non-condensing.
- The power supply features overload protection. In case of overload, the protection mechanism will activate to safeguard the unit.
- Adhere to safety standards and guidelines provided in the user manual. Do not operate the product in environments exceeding specified temperature or humidity limits.
FAQ
- Q: What should I do if the power supply overheats?
- A: If the power supply overheats, immediately disconnect it from the power source and allow it to cool down before attempting to use it again.
- Q: Can this power supply be used for LED lighting applications?
- A: This product is not intended for LED lighting luminaire applications in the EU and China. Please refer to the LPF/NPF/XLG/XLC/XLN series for LED applications in these regions.

SPECIFICATION
NOTE
- All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load, and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
- 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.
- Derating may be needed under low input voltage. Please check the static characteristics for more details. Please connect the L line to the positive pole and the N line to the negative pole under DC input.
- The power supply is considered as a component that will be operated in combination withthe final equipment. Since EMC performance will be affected by the complete installation, the final equipment manufacturers must re-qualify the EMC Directive on the complete installation. (as available on https://www.meanwell.com//Upload/PDF/EMI_statement_en.pdf)
- The length of set-up time is measured at the first cold start. Turning ON/OFF the power supply may lead to an increase in the set-up time.
- This product is not intended for LED lighting luminaire applications in the EU and China. (In the EU and China the LPF/NPF/XLG/XLC/XLN series are recommended.)
- The ambient temperature derating of 3.5℃/1000m with fanless models and 5℃/1000m with fan models for operating altitudes higher than 2000m(6500ft).
- Products sourced from the Americas regions may not have the ENEC/BIS logo. Please contact your MEAN WELL sales for more information.
- For any application note and IP waterproof function installation caution, please refer to our user manual before using. https://www.meanwell.com/Upload/PDF/LED_EN.pdf
