Test conditions and notes13

1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 347VAC input, rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
2. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12" twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1uf & 47uf parallel capacitor.
3. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
4. Please refer to "DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE".
5. Please refer to “STATIC CHARACTERISTIC” sections for details.
6. Length of set up time is measured at first cold start. Turning ON/OFF the driver may lead to increase of the set up time.
7. 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. (as available on https://www.meanwell.com//Upload/PDF/EMI_statement_en.pdf)
8. This series meets the typical life expectancy of >50,000 hours of operation when Tcase, particularly tc point (or TMP, per DLC), is about 75℃ or less.
9. Please refer to the warranty statement on MEAN WELL's website at http://www.meanwell.com
10. 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).
11. For any application note and IP water proof function installation caution, please refer our user manual before using. https://www.meanwell.com/Upload/PDF/LED_EN.pdf
12. For A/AB type need to consider build in using to comply with Type HL application.
13. This product is intended for North America lighting equipment application. Please contact your MEAN WELL sales if you have other using.

FAQ

Can I use the HVG-65-42A for 42V LED strip or linear lighting in commercial displays?

Yes, if the lighting load is a 42V constant-current product operating within the 25.2-42V CC range. The driver can supply up to 1.55A with a 65.1W maximum load.

Is the HVG-65-42A suitable for covered outdoor signage lighting?

It can work for covered outdoor 42V constant-current signage because the HVG-65 series is IP65 or IP67 approved and rated for a case temperature (Tcase) of -40°C to +80°C. The connected load must still fit within 42V, 1.55A, and 65.1W.

Can this driver power 42V LED modules for wall-wash or facade lighting?

Yes, for 42V constant-current wall-wash or facade fixtures that fall within the 25.2-42V CC range. Size the load so it does not exceed 1.55A or 65.1W.

Will the HVG-65-42A work in buildings with higher AC input ranges?

It is designed for a wide 180-528VAC input range, so it fits many commercial lighting environments where input flexibility matters. Output-side matching still depends on the LED load being a 42V constant-current application within 65.1W.

How do I estimate the maximum 42V LED strip length for this driver?

Use the formula 65.1W divided by the strip's rated watts per meter to estimate the maximum length. That only works as a first pass, so also check your strip rated power per meter and confirm it is compatible with a 42V constant-current driver.

Can the HVG-65-42A be installed where it may see rain or washdown spray?

The HVG-65 series is IP65 or IP67 approved, and the sheet notes that a waterproof connector can be fitted to the output cable for damp or outdoor environments; check the rating marked on your unit before exposure to rain or spray. The case temperature (Tcase) range is -40°C to +80°C, but the full lighting assembly should be rated for the same conditions.
