1606-XL240E 240W 24V DC Power Supply Unit Allen-Bradley

Allen-Bradley 1606-XL240E Power Supply

Product Introduction

The 1606-XL240E belongs to the legacy Allen-Bradley Bulletin 1606-XL series. This switched-mode power supply converts single-phase AC input into a regulated 24 V DC output. Specifically, it supplies 240 W of continuous power with 10 A output current at 24 V. Maintenance teams still source this unit to keep existing panels running.

Technical Specifications

The input accepts switchable AC 100…120 V or AC 200…240 V ranges. Continuous tolerance extends from 85…132 V AC and 176…264 V AC, plus DC 240…375 V. Meanwhile, the output is adjustable from 24…28 V DC and ships preset at 24.5 V ±0.5%. This preset simplifies commissioning for most control loads.

Output current reaches 10 A at 24 V across 0…60 °C ambient. Additionally, a 12 A boost at 288 W is available up to 45 °C ambient. Therefore, the unit handles brief inrush currents from contactors and motors. Efficiency reaches up to 90%, keeping heat generation moderate. Ripple and noise stay within 30 mVpp maximum, which suits sensitive control electronics.

The 1606-XL240E includes no communication ports or fieldbus protocols. However, it does provide a DC OK relay contact for basic status signaling. Protection features include short-circuit and overload limiting.

Mechanical and Environmental Parameters

The housing measures 124 mm in height, 120 mm in width, and 102 mm in depth. The manufacturer does not publish a numeric weight for this model. Operating temperature spans 0 to +70 °C with derating above 60 °C. Storage temperature ranges from -40 to +85 °C. Relative humidity tolerance reaches 95 percent maximum. The IP20 rating suits open-frame DIN-rail cabinet construction.

Lifecycle Notice

Rockwell announced End of Sale for the Bulletin 1606-XL series on 2017-10-30. The 1606-XL240E is therefore a discontinued legacy model. Migration paths lead to the 1606-XLE and 1606-XLS families. Consequently, buyers should confirm remaining stock before ordering. Plan replacement designs around current-series equivalents.

Installation Guide

First, confirm the input selector matches your supply voltage before wiring. Next, mount the unit on a DIN rail inside the enclosure. Use screw terminals for all input and output connections. Additionally, install branch-circuit protection sized to the input current. Keep ventilation clearance around the housing for cooling. Finally, verify the preset 24.5 V output with a meter before connecting loads.
