Firstly, it provides a regulated 24-28V DC output with a power rating of 100W. Moreover, the unit features a slim 73mm width and a lightweight 360g design. Therefore, it fits perfectly into tight DIN-rail enclosures. Meanwhile, the spring-clamp terminals simplify wiring tasks for field engineers.
Core Value
This power supply delivers reliable performance for low-power industrial applications. Furthermore, the 1606-XLP100E-2 offers a typical efficiency of 89.5%, which reduces heat generation inside cabinets. Additionally, the unit maintains a stabilized output voltage even under fluctuating mains conditions. Besides, the wide operational input range of 323-552V AC ensures global compatibility for 2-phase systems. Therefore, you can deploy this single model across various international sites without adjustments. Meanwhile, the high MTBF rating of over 1.5 million hours guarantees long-term operational stability.
Technical Insights
The 1606-XLP100E-2 provides a maximum ripple and noise of just 50mV, which protects sensitive loads. Moreover, the hold-up time exceeds 85ms at 480V AC, ensuring ride-through during brief power dips. In addition, the output voltage is adjustable via a front potentiometer to accommodate specific load requirements. Furthermore, the unit features convection cooling without an internal fan. Therefore, it operates silently and requires no filter maintenance. Specifically, the IP20 rating protects against solid objects larger than 12.5mm.
Installation & Maintenance
Mount the 1606-XLP100E-2 on a standard DIN rail with the output terminals facing upward. Firstly, maintain a clearance of 40mm above and 20mm below the unit for proper airflow. Secondly, connect the protective earth terminal before applying power. Moreover, use copper conductors rated for at least 60°C. Additionally, verify the input wiring matches the 2-phase 380-480V AC source. Besides, do not obstruct the ventilation grid. For maintenance, inspect terminal connections annually for tightness. Furthermore, clean dust from the housing with dry compressed air. Never open the unit, as high voltages persist internally.
