Power supply operation is the factory default. Voltage, current, power, input and thermal limits apply together; the separate maximum values are not available simultaneously at every setting.
Ripple is measured at 20 MHz using a 12-inch twisted pair terminated with parallel 0.1 µF and 47 µF capacitors. Light-load ripple can increase under variable load or parallel operation and returns to its normal level above 5% load. PV adjustment can also increase ripple under some conditions. Voltage tolerance includes setup, line and load effects.

Apply the AC and temperature derating simultaneously. The 48 V efficiency-versus-load graph is measured at 230 VAC; it is not an efficiency guarantee for every model and load. Keep the intake and exhaust unobstructed.

Short-circuit protection is listed as a series feature. The specified limiting, power and recovery conditions must be observed; no separate undocumented short-circuit timing is assumed.

Select charger mode through the fitted communication interface or the separately available SBP-001 programmer. The charging-curve default is three-stage CC/CV/float; two-stage CC/CV operation is also supported. At the indicated 10% of CC transition, the three-stage curve enters float, while the two-stage graph shows battery-full completion. Two-stage presets use the same boost values without a float stage.
Default and preset curves retain the listed CC setting. Charging parameters and stage timeouts can be programmed through communication; SBP-001 programming requires a personal computer. The catalogue lists flooded, gel and AGM lead-acid batteries and lithium-ion iron/manganese types. Confirm the actual battery chemistry, voltage and maximum permitted charging current with the battery manufacturer before choosing a curve; the Ah range is a recommendation, not universal battery compatibility.
Output Voltage and Current Programming
| PV adjustment |
50–125% of the graph’s nominal reference voltage |
| PC adjustment |
20–100% of rated current |
| PV connection |
CN1 pin 25 to CN1 pin 26 (−V signal) |
| PC connection |
CN1 pin 17 to CN1 pin 26 (−V signal) |
PV applies to power supply operation. The graph uses 24/48 V as the 100% voltage reference. Below 0.4 V control input the output is at its factory setting; 0.4–1 V selects 50%, then the curve rises nonlinearly toward 125% at approximately 4.7 V control input. Use the published curve rather than assuming a linear conversion over the entire control range.
Available output current changes with the voltage setting: 80% from 50–90% output voltage, rising to 100% at 95%, then remaining at 100% through 100% voltage. Above that, current decreases to 80% at 125% voltage (30 V or 60 V). The graph’s 100% current reference is 133/67 A. Always keep output within the maximum power limit.
For PC, 0.4–1 V control input corresponds to 20% current; the nonlinear rising region reaches 100% at 4.7 V and remains at 100% to 5 V. The plot below 0.4 V is an approximately 110% limiting region, not an additional rated operating range. Very low constant-current settings can increase ripple. Output below 80% of Vset for 5 seconds causes shutdown; re-power to recover.
Remote and Local Sense
Remote sense is available only for the 24 V / 48 V models in power supply mode. Connect CN1 pin 28 (+S) to load positive and pin 27 (−S) to load negative using a twisted pair; compensation is up to 0.5 V.
When remote sense is not used, connect pin 28 (+S) to pin 29 (+V signal) and pin 27 (−S) to pin 26 (−V signal). Signal pins are not power terminals and must not carry the load current.

Use the rear-view orientation and complete connector assignment in the mechanical drawing. Ask MEAN WELL for the correct mating assembly; the catalogue identifies the housing but does not provide a separate full crimp-contact ordering code.
Remote ON-OFF is between pin 13 and pin 6 (+5V-AUX): short / 4.5–5.5 V means ON; open / −0.5 to +0.5 V means OFF. Maximum input is 5.5 V. The auxiliary outputs have OR-ing diodes and are not switched by this remote control; both use GND-AUX pin 7.
Auxiliary ratings are 5 V at 0.3 A, ±10%, 150 mVp-p ripple and 12 V at 0.8 A, ±10%, 450 mVp-p ripple. PV, PC, parallel and address signals are non-isolated and reference −V signal; communication, remote and alarm signals reference the isolated GND-AUX.
Communication, Alarms and Indicators
The CAN suffix selects CAN 2.0B. The catalogue prints a maximum bus speed of 250 KHz; use the protocol manual for bus setup and message details.
Alarm outputs are isolated TTL, referenced to GND-AUX, output-only and rated 10 mA maximum. High is 3.5–5.5 V and low is −0.5 to +0.5 V. AC-OK is high at input ≥87 Vrms and low at ≤75 Vrms. T-ALARM is high for temperature alarm or fan failure, and low during normal operation.
In power supply mode, DC-OK is high when output is ≤77% ±5%, and low when output is ≥80% ±5%. In charger mode the thresholds are ≤66% ±5% high and ≥67% ±5% low; DC-OK is associated with battery-low protection.
The status LED is green during normal power supply operation and steady red for abnormal protection/fan status. Flashing red at an internal temperature of 60°C signals an alarm while normal operation continues without entering OTP. In charger mode, orange identifies CC/CV charging, green identifies float, and red also covers charging timeout. The two-stage graph identifies green at battery full.
Rack Operation and Accessories
| Compatible rack |
DHP-1UT-B |
| Parallel arrangement |
Up to four identical modules per rack; up to ten racks / forty modules |
| Controller series |
CMU2; select the compatible controller configuration |
| Charging programmer |
SBP-001 with a personal computer |
A DHP-1UT-B rack accepts identical 24 V modules or identical 48 V modules; do not mix unlike voltage/current models in one parallel group.
For parallel racks, set output-voltage differences to less than 0.2 V, join DA, DB and −V control lines as shown, and configure the parallel system before connecting the load. Use the matching rack manual and protocol arrangement. A 10% reduction in total output current is recommended to avoid unequal limiting caused by component tolerances; the maximum module count is not a promise of unrestricted full-power operation.
The module supports hot swap and built-in OR-ing FET or diode isolation. Racks, programming equipment and controller configurations are separate selection items; confirm the actual supply scope.
