Model and control configuration
| Exact ordering code |
ELG-200 identifies the series; 24 identifies the nominal output voltage. B: 3-in-1 dimming: 0–10 VDC, 10 V PWM signal or resistance. The -3Y suffix identifies the three-wire AC input version. |
| Protection rating |
IP67 metal housing with functional grounding. Three-wire input includes protective earth (green/yellow). |
| LED driving arrangement |
Constant-current operation can drive LEDs directly. Constant-voltage applications generally use an additional DC/DC driver; apply the specific direct-LED requirement below when using 3-in-1 dimming. |
| 3-in-1 control |
Connect a 0–10 VDC signal, a 10 V PWM signal at 100 Hz–3 kHz, or resistance between DIM+ and DIM−. Dimming-source current: 100 µA typical. For N drivers on one resistance control, full output corresponds to 100 kΩ/N. |
| Dimming limits |
Direct LED connection is recommended; this dimming control is not suitable with additional downstream drivers. Minimum controlled current is approximately 8%; 0% < Iout < 8% is undefined. 0 V, 0 Ω or 0% PWM duty can turn the output off. Do not connect DIM− to Vo−. |
Protection and operating limits
| Overcurrent and short circuit |
Overcurrent: 95–108% of rated output, constant-current limiting, automatic recovery after removal of the fault. Short circuit: hiccup mode with automatic recovery. |
| Overvoltage and temperature protection |
Overvoltage threshold: 27–34 V. Overvoltage and overtemperature shut down the output; re-power to recover. |
| Case temperature and cooling |
Fanless free-air convection; mount horizontally. Working case temperature Tc: −40 to +90°C, subject to derating. Cold operation from −40 to -25°C is shown at 230 VAC only. Tc is case temperature, not ambient temperature. |
| Ambient derating |
The ambient curve allows 100% load up to 60°C, falling to 60% at 70°C. The constant-current operating region is rated to a maximum ambient temperature of 60°C. Maintain the case-temperature limit and apply both input and ambient derating. |
| Input derating |
At 100–180 VAC, use the exact low-input power rating above; the family static curve shows approximately 75% load in this region and rises to 100% by 200 VAC, remaining there through 305 VAC. The plotted input is 60 Hz. |
| Humidity, storage and coefficient |
Working humidity: 20–95% RH, non-condensing. Storage: −40 to +90°C, 10–95% RH. Temperature coefficient: ±0.03%/°C over 0–50°C. Vibration: 10–500 Hz, 5G, 12 min/cycle, 72 min along each X, Y and Z axis. |
| Service life and reliability |
Typical life exceeds 50,000 hours at Tc ≤70°C; higher case temperature reduces life, as shown by the lifetime curve. Five-year warranty under the stated installation and operating conditions. MTBF: 2391.4K / 204.9K hours, respectively Telcordia SR-332 and MIL-HDBK-217F at 25°C. |
| Performance-curve conditions |
PF plots use constant-current operation. THD and efficiency curves are representative of ELG-200-48 at Tc = 80°C. Curves illustrate load/input dependence; the exact output rating and typical efficiency for this SKU remain those listed above. |
| Lighting-system integration |
Install behind a mains switch for the stated ErP lighting-application compliance. |

Installation manual requirements
| Installation safety |
Disconnect the mains supply and prevent accidental reconnection before installation or maintenance. Have faults examined by a qualified technician; do not open the power-supply case yourself. |
| Ventilation and mounting |
Keep ventilation clear and do not stack objects on the unit. Keep 10–15 cm clearance when the adjacent device is a heat source. Follow this model’s mounting, ambient-temperature and output-derating requirements. |
| System wiring and protection |
Use approved primary and secondary wiring rated for at least the applicable unit current. Provide suitable system-level insulation and an enclosure around single-insulated wiring; verify EMC again in the completed system. |
| Environmental and load limits |
Do not immerse the unit or install it near fire or above its specified ambient limit. Keep output current and power within the model’s rated operating envelope. If a fitted external flexible cable is damaged, replacement is limited to the manufacturer, its service agent or a similarly qualified person. |
| Connection seals and support |
If waterproof connectors are fitted, secure their connections to prevent water entry. Verify the mounting structure and luminaire strength; use safety cables for bay-light applications. |
| Protective-earth installation |
This 3Y version has a three-wire input with a green/yellow PE/FG conductor. Connect it to protective earth and connect the case to PE as specified for complete EMC performance and safe use. |
| Controller installation |
Verify the compatibility and capacity of the controller or network for this exact interface. For standalone use with dimming conductors smaller than 18 AWG (0.75 mm²), use SELV controllers/networks; contact MEAN WELL for guidance before using FELV control. Follow this model’s control wiring. |
| Dimming isolation |
The installation manual lists the analog dimming circuit of this ELG family as not isolated from the secondary circuit. Follow the specified DIM wiring and controller requirements. |
