XVUC28 - Continuous light module 24VAC 24VDC, LED light element, yellow, continuous light, 24V for signal column

XVUC28 Continuous Light Module

The XVUC28 is a high‑performance continuous light module designed for use in safety and signal applications. It operates on both 24 VAC and 24 VDC, providing flexibility for integration into diverse electrical systems.

Key Features

• Dual Voltage Compatibility: Works seamlessly with either 24 VAC or 24 VDC power supplies, simplifying installation in mixed‑voltage environments.
• Yellow LED Light Element: Emits a bright, eye‑catching yellow light that is ideal for safety signage and signal columns.
• Continuous Operation: Designed for constant illumination, ensuring reliable visibility at all times without flicker or pulsing.
• Compact Ø60 mm Diameter: The module’s small footprint allows it to fit into standard signal column housings and other tight spaces.
• IP65 Protection Rating: Weather‑proof construction protects against dust ingress and water jets, making it suitable for outdoor installations.
• Low Power Consumption: Efficient LED technology reduces energy usage while maintaining high luminous output.

Applications

The XVUC28 is engineered for a variety of safety and signaling roles, including but not limited to:

• Signal Columns: Mounted on traffic or pedestrian signal posts to provide clear visual cues.
• Safety Markings: Integrated into industrial safety systems where continuous yellow illumination is required.
• Emergency Signage: Used in evacuation routes and emergency exit indicators that demand constant visibility.
• Construction Sites: Employed as a permanent lighting element for site boundaries or hazard zones.

Technical Specifications

Design and Build Quality

The module features a robust housing that shields the LED array from environmental hazards. Its internal circuitry is engineered to handle both AC and DC inputs without requiring separate power supplies, thereby reducing installation complexity.

Thanks to its IP65 rating, the XVUC28 can withstand rain, dust, and high‑pressure water jets, ensuring long‑term reliability in harsh outdoor conditions. The yellow LED emits a warm, non‑blinding light that is easily perceived by the human eye even at night or under low‑visibility circumstances.

Installation Guidelines

• Power Connection: Connect the module to a 24 VAC or 24 VDC source using appropriate cable and connectors. Ensure polarity is correct for DC operation.
• Mounting: Secure the module into a standard XVU signal column bracket or equivalent mounting hardware. The Ø60 mm diameter aligns with most existing housings.
• Ventilation: Although the housing is sealed, allow for adequate airflow around the module to prevent overheating in extreme temperatures.
• Testing: After installation, verify continuous illumination and confirm that the LED remains steady without flicker.

Compatibility with XVU Series Systems

The XVUC28 is part of Schneider Electric’s Harmony XVU series, a modular lighting system widely used in safety and traffic control applications. Its standardized dimensions and voltage range make it an ideal replacement or addition to existing XVU installations.

Maintenance and Longevity

Due to the inherent durability of LED technology, the XVUC28 requires minimal maintenance. Periodic visual inspections should confirm that the yellow light remains bright and free from discoloration. The module’s sealed design protects internal components from dust and moisture, extending its operational life well beyond typical incandescent or halogen counterparts.

Conclusion

The XVUC28 Continuous Light Module delivers reliable, weather‑proof yellow illumination for safety and signaling applications. Its dual voltage capability, compact size, and IP65 protection make it a versatile choice for any environment where continuous visibility is paramount.
