Frequently Asked Questions - HBG-240-24A Mean Well

What is the output voltage and current of the HBG-240-24A?

The output is 24V DC constant voltage/constant current, with an adjustable current range from 0 to 10A (max 240W).

Can I dim the HBG-240-24A?

Yes, it supports 0-10V analog dimming. Connect a 0-10V signal to the DIM+ and DIM- terminals. It can also be used with PWM dimmers via an optional accessory.

How do I adjust the output current?

Remove the cover and locate the internal potentiometer labeled VR1. Turn it clockwise to increase current, counterclockwise to decrease. Use a small screwdriver and do not exceed the rated current.

What is the IP rating and can it be used outdoors?

The HBG-240-24A has an IP65 rating, meaning it is dust-tight and protected against low-pressure water jets. It is suitable for outdoor use in wet locations.

What wire gauge should I use for input and output connections?

For input, use 14-18 AWG copper wire. For output, use 14-18 AWG depending on the current load. Ensure tight connections to avoid overheating.

Does the HBG-240-24A have protection against short circuits?

Yes, it includes short circuit protection with auto-recovery. The output will shut down and automatically restart when the fault is removed.

What is the maximum operating temperature?

The maximum operating temperature is 70°C, but derating is required above 50°C. At full load, ensure ambient temperature does not exceed 50°C.

How do I connect multiple LED strips to one driver?

Connect the strips in parallel to the output terminals. Ensure the total current does not exceed the driver’s rated current (10A). Use appropriate wire gauge and fuse if necessary.

Is the driver compatible with emergency lighting systems?

The HBG-240-24A is not certified for emergency lighting. For emergency use, please refer to Mean Well’s ELG or other emergency series drivers.

What should I do if the driver does not power on?

Check input power: verify voltage (100-277V AC) and correct wiring. Check output load: does it exceed max? Reset by disconnecting power for 30 seconds. If still fails, contact Mean Well support.

NOTE	1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated current and 25°C of ambient temperature.2. Please refer to "DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE".3. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12" twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1uf & 47uf parallel capacitor.4. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.5. De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to "STATIC CHARACTERISTIC" sections for details.6. Length of set up time is measured at cold first start. Turning ON/OFF the driver may lead to increase of the set up time.7. The DA type power supply is less efficient than the A type power supply by 1%.8. The driver is considered as a component that will be operated in combination with final equipment. Since EMC performance will be affected by the complete installation, the final equipment manufacturers must re-qualify EMC Directive on the complete installation again.9. To fulfill requirements of the latest ErP regulation for lighting fixtures, this LED driver can only be used behind a switch without permanently connected to the mains.10. This series meets the typical life expectancy of >50,000 hours of operation when Tcase, particularly (point (or TMP, per DLC), is about 70°C or less.11.

■ DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE

※ This series is able to work in either Constant Current mode (a direct drive way) or Constant Voltage mode (usually through additional DC/DC driver) to drive the LEDs.

In the constant current region, the highest voltage at the output of the driver depends on the configuration of the end systems. Should there be any compatibility issues, please contact MEAN WELL.

Typical output current normalized by rated current (%)

DIMMING OPERATION

※ 3 in 1 dimming function (for B/AB-Type)
- Output constant current level can be adjusted by applying one of the three methodologies between DIM+ and DIM-
1 \~ 10VDC, or 10V PWM signal or resistance.
- Direct connecting to LEDs is suggested. It is not suitable to be used with additional drivers.
- Dimming source current from power supply: 100 A (typ.)μ

◎ Applying additive 1 \~ 10VDC

◎ Applying additive 10V PWM signal (frequency range 100Hz \~ 3KHz):

◎ Applying additive resistance:

Note: In the case of turning the lighting fixture down to 0% brightness, please refer to the configuration as follow, or please contact MEAN WELL for other options.
