1. Identify the input designation
Begin with the product that would be supplied: a loose converter, an enclosed supply, a board module or a larger assembly. Retain its complete manufacturer identifier and any supported revision separately from the equipment tag. A machine's power-supply reference may locate an installation record, but it should not replace the identity of the unit the owner proposes to release.
Create an input-category field drawn from the actual product's manufacturer description. Preserve an AC/DC or DC/DC designation without trying to infer it from a DC output entry. The MEAN WELL introduction discusses AC/DC products and its DC/DC product range separately. That distinction supports asking for the actual input category rather than treating the shared output language as a complete supply description.
If only output information is readable, retain it as output information and mark the input category unresolved. Keep original label readings, photographs and any purchase reference available to the technical contact. A short warehouse description can be useful for finding records, but it should not acquire input values, polarity or connection roles that the available evidence does not provide.
2. Keep enclosure style outside input identity
Keep mounting and enclosure descriptions alongside input identity instead of using them as a decoder. MEAN WELL's DC/DC introduction mentions enclosed products and installation options including board-mounted, encapsulated and DIN-rail forms. The range of formats shows why a case or mounting style should not select the conversion category of unidentified hardware.
Describe what is actually included with the offered supply. A mounting bracket, cable or enclosure may belong to the owner's deliverable, while a catalogue installation option describes a product range. Identify those two kinds of information independently. An old photograph of a DIN-rail installation should not be treated as proof of the exact supply model or of every accessory included in the present offer.
Where several visually similar units have different supported codes, preserve their individual references until the product records resolve the input descriptions. A convenient family total can conceal that some units remain unidentified. State which quantity is covered by each source record, and do not move an uncertain unit into an identified input group merely because its case resembles the documented examples.
3. Separate exact input records from family marketing
The introductory catalogue text supports a distinction between input categories and physical formats. It does not assign an input range, terminal function, isolation specification or certification to a seller's unknown supply. Keep those questions open when the exact product document is absent. A broad manufacturer capability statement should not become a specification for every product carrying that manufacturer's name.
If the available exact-product label contains input and output fields, preserve their wording and units separately. Do not copy an output rating into an empty input field or derive a connection instruction from an abbreviated stock list. Conflicts between label information and an equipment record belong in the enquiry so the responsible owner can establish which reference applies to the actual supplied item.
Keep known previous installation, removal and visible condition descriptions independent from the conversion category. A documented DC/DC identity does not assess internal condition after use or storage. Existing inspection records may be shared with their covered units and stated scope. This classification work does not energise the item, map its terminals or establish operating performance for a new installation.
4. Offer input-identified supplies
Group released stock by exact supported identifier and input category while retaining actual mounting form, included items and condition descriptions. Keep input-unknown quantities visible rather than presenting the whole list as AC-input or DC-input supplies. The outcome should let a recipient identify which groups have adequate product references and which require additional identification before further assessment. Retain unreadable input labels as identification gaps even when the output marking remains clear and legible.
Use the general stock-list guide for actual quantities, location and authority to release the material. The baseplate guide addresses a different question about original module construction and added cooling parts. This input review adds the conversion-category field without assuming that a baseplate, heatsink or mounting arrangement identifies the electrical input of the supplied product.
For an ICULTRA supply-stock enquiry, send full codes, the supported input descriptions and the available original records. Explain incomplete labels and any conflict with prior equipment descriptions. Ask what additional identification is needed for the uncertain groups. A complete category field does not imply usable condition, an approved power connection, compatibility or a purchase commitment; any acceptance and commercial terms need a separate lot-specific agreement.
