Frequently asked questions
Common questions about FEDERAL SIGNAL from 3G Electric.
What voltage options are available for Federal Signal multimode lights for hazardous locations?
Federal Signal hazardous-location multimode lights are available in several voltage configurations. Models such as the 225XL-120-240R and FB2LEDX-QC-120-240-M1 operate on 120 to 240V AC. The 24XSTHI-CN and 24XSTHI-MOD are designed for 24V DC. The 225XST-120A and 225XST-120R operate on 120V AC. The 27XL-024A-MOD accepts 24V AC/DC. When specifying, confirm the available supply voltage and whether AC or DC is required, as the internal driver and flash circuitry are voltage-specific.
What mounting options does Federal Signal offer for its hazardous-location warning lights?
Federal Signal multimode lights for hazardous locations are available with pole, wall, ceiling, and threaded mounts. For example, the FB2LEDX-QC-120-240-M1 uses a pole mount, the 24XSTHI-CN is wall-mounted, the 24XSTHI-MOD is ceiling-mounted, and the 225XST-120A and 27XL-024A-MOD feature threaded mounts. The 225XST-120R is designed for pole mounting. Mounting method affects installation labor and conduit routing, so it should be selected based on the structure and access at the point of warning.
What are the flash patterns and current draw of the Federal Signal MPSC-A perimeter warning light?
The Federal Signal MPSC-A is a rectangular amber LED perimeter warning light in the HighLighter series. It operates on 12V DC with a current draw of 0.7 A and offers 27 selectable flash patterns. The unit includes a stud mount and pigtail electrical connection. It is SAE Class 1 rated for high-visibility warning. The 15/16 in overall width allows for mounting in tight spaces on vehicles or machinery. Flash pattern selection is typically made via a wire configuration or internal switch, depending on the model variant.
What lens colors are available for Federal Signal hazardous-location multimode lights?
Federal Signal hazardous-location multimode lights are available with red, amber, magenta, and clear lenses. Specific models include the 225XL-120-240R with a red lens, the 225XST-120A and 27XL-024A-MOD with amber lenses, the FB2LEDX-QC-120-240-M1 with a magenta lens, and the 24XSTHI-CN and 24XSTHI-MOD with clear lenses. Lens color is typically chosen to match the facility's alarm philosophy or to differentiate between warning levels. The lens material is designed to withstand the environmental conditions of the classified area.
What are the physical dimensions of Federal Signal 24XSTHI series strobe lights?
The Federal Signal 24XSTHI series includes the 24XSTHI-CN and 24XSTHI-MOD, both of which have an overall height of 11 3/8 in and an overall diameter of 8 13/16 in. The 24XSTHI-CN is designed for wall mounting, while the 24XSTHI-MOD is ceiling-mounted. Both operate on 24V DC and have a clear lens. These dimensions are relevant for installation planning, as the units require sufficient clearance and structural support. The large diameter is typical of high-output strobe units intended for wide-area visibility in industrial settings.
How does 3G Electric support Federal Signal product selection for industrial applications?
