Frequently Asked Questions
Can the ELG-240-C700A be used to drive LED modules in an outdoor architectural lighting installation?
Yes. The ELG-240-C700A delivers 700mA constant current across a 172–343V range, which suits series strings of LED modules used in architectural and facade lighting. The IP65 rating provides protection against rain and dust ingress, and the -40°C to +85°C operating range covers outdoor temperature extremes in most climates.
What does the 'A' suffix mean on the ELG-240-C700A, and how is the output adjusted?
The 'A' suffix indicates the driver includes an output current adjustment function, typically implemented via an external resistor or potentiometer connected to the driver's adjustment terminal. This allows the 700mA nominal output to be trimmed downward to match the rated current of the connected LED load, without replacing the driver.
Is the ELG-240-C700A rated for damp or wet outdoor environments?
The ELG-240-C700A carries an IP65 rating, protecting it against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets. This is suitable for sheltered outdoor enclosures and damp indoor locations. For installations exposed to direct rain, water submersion, or hose-down cleaning, the IP67-rated ELG-240-C700 or ELG-240-C700B would be more appropriate.
How many LEDs can be connected in series to the ELG-240-C700A?
The driver supplies 700mA constant current with an output voltage range of 172–343V. The number of LEDs per series string depends on each LED's individual forward voltage — the summed forward voltages of the string must fall within the 172–343V window. There is no fixed LED count applicable to all LED types.
How does the ELG-240-C700A compare to the ELG-240-C700AB in dimming features?
Both models share 240.1W, 700mA constant current, and a 172–343V CC range at IP65. The ELG-240-C700A provides output current adjustability only, with no dimming interface. The ELG-240-C700AB adds analog dimming (0–10V / PWM / resistance) on top of the output adjustability. Choose the AB model if dynamic dimming control is needed alongside the trim function.
Can the ELG-240-C700A drive LED signage modules at high series voltage?
Yes. With an output voltage range of 172–343V and 700mA constant current, the ELG-240-C700A is designed for high-voltage series LED strings such as those used in large LED signage modules or street lighting fixtures. The adjustable function adds flexibility to tune the drive current to match the specific module's rated current.
