Test conditions and notes6
  1. 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
  2. 2. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12" twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1μF & 47μF parallel capacitor.
  3. 3. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
  4. 4. The power supply is considered a component which will be installed into a final equipment. All the EMC tests are been executed by mounting the unit on a 360mm*360mm metal plate with 1mm of thickness. Radiation testing requires adding 13*26*30NIZN magnetic loops or buckles to the battery output wire. The final equipment must be re-confirmed that it still meets EMC directives. For guidance on how to perform these EMC tests, please refer to “EMI testing of component power supplies.” (as available on https://www.meanwell.com//Upload/PDF/EMI_statement_en.pdf )
  5. 5. This power supply does not meet the harmonic current requirements outlined by BS EN/EN61000-3-2. Please do not use this power supply under the following conditions: a) the end-devices is used within the European Union, and b) the end-devices is connected to public mains supply with 220Vac or greater rated nominal voltage, and c) the power supply is: - installed in end-devices with average or continuous input power greater than 75W, or - belong to part of a lighting system Exception: Power supplies used within the following end-devices do not need to fulfill BS EN/EN61000-3-2 a) professional equipment with a total rated input power greater than 1000W; b) symmetrically controlled heating elements with a rated power less than or equal to 200W
  6. 6. The ambient temperature derating of 3.5℃/1000m with fanless models and of 5℃/1000m with fan models for operating altitude higher than 2000m(6500ft).

FAQ

What is the Mean Well LAD-240A designed for?

The LAD-240A is a 240W security and fire alarm power supply with a built-in battery charger and UPS function. It is intended for systems that need a regulated 13.8VDC output plus battery-backed continuity during AC power loss.

What output does the LAD-240A provide?

This model is rated for 13.8VDC output and 16.4A rated current on CH1, with a total power rating of 240W and a 1A battery charger output on CH2. The CH1 output voltage is also adjustable within the 10.8 to 14.5V range.

Does the LAD-240A support backup battery operation?

Yes. The LAD-240A includes a built-in battery charger and UPS function, so it can support battery-backed operation for security and fire alarm systems. It also includes a forced start UPS mode, selected by shorting CN2 pins 7 and 8.

What protection and monitoring features are included in the LAD-240A?

The unit includes protection for overload, over voltage, over temperature, battery low voltage (cutoff at 9.5V±0.5V), and battery reverse polarity with no damage. It also provides TTL status signals for AC OK, battery disconnect, battery reverse polarity, battery low, battery full, and discharge status detection.

Can the LAD-240A be used in demanding indoor equipment environments?

It is rated for an operating temperature range of -20 to +60 degrees C, with output derating at higher temperatures per the derating curve, and has a low-profile 30mm-high case. That makes it suitable for compact indoor security or fire system enclosures where space and operating conditions matter.

What compliance and standards information is available for the LAD-240A?

The LAD-240A is listed with UL62368-1, BS EN/EN62368-1, AS/NZS62368.1, and EAC TP TC 004 approvals. Its design also refers to GB 17945-2010, and EMC coverage includes EN55032 Class A and multiple EN61000 immunity standards.
