Allen-Bradley 1606-XLS180B Power Supply
The 1606-XLS180B belongs to the Bulletin 1606-XL performance series. Rockwell Automation designed this unit for demanding industrial environments. It provides stable 12 V DC output with 180 W rated power. Engineers commonly use it in control cabinets, machine tools, and process automation systems. This power supply converts AC or DC input into regulated DC output. Its compact housing saves valuable DIN rail space.
Technical Specifications
The 1606-XLS180B accepts a wide input range. AC input spans 100 to 240 V nominal. DC input covers 110 to 150 V. This flexibility suits global power networks. Output voltage is 12 V nominal with an adjustment range of 12 to 15 V. The unit delivers 15 A nominal current. Current range runs from 15 A down to 13.5 A. Rated power reaches 180 W. Efficiency is 91.8% typical, which reduces heat generation. Ripple and noise stay at 50 mV maximum. These figures ensure clean power for sensitive loads.
Additionally, the power supply offers a 50% power reserve. This reserve supports short-term peak loads. A DC OK relay contact provides status monitoring. The relay signals output voltage health to a controller. Spring terminals enable fast, tool-free wiring. Moreover, the adjustable output helps compensate for voltage drop across long cables.
Mechanical and Environmental Parameters
The unit measures 124 mm in height, 60 mm in width, and 117 mm in depth. It weighs 930 g. DIN rail mounting makes installation quick and secure. The IP20 protection rating suits enclosed cabinet use. Operating temperature ranges from -25 to +70 °C. Storage temperature spans -40 to +85 °C. Relative humidity stays between 5 and 95%, non-condensing. These ratings support reliable operation in harsh plants.
Installation Guide
First, mount the 1606-XLS180B on a standard 35 mm DIN rail. Next, connect the input wires to the spring terminals. Use a screwdriver to open each terminal clamp. Then insert the wire and release the clamp. After that, set the output voltage via the front adjustment potentiometer. Connect the DC OK relay if monitoring is required. Finally, verify the output with a multimeter before powering the load. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit. Keep clearance above and below the housing for airflow.

FAQ
Q1: What input voltages does the 1606-XLS180B accept?
A: It accepts AC 100 to 240 V nominal and DC 110 to 150 V. This wide range covers most industrial power networks worldwide.
Q2: Can I adjust the output voltage?
A: Yes. A front potentiometer adjusts output from 12 V to 15 V. This feature helps compensate for cable voltage drops.
Q3: What is the purpose of the DC OK relay?
A: The relay contact reports output status to a controller. It signals when output voltage falls outside the healthy range.
Q4: How much power reserve does this unit provide?
A: The 1606-XLS180B offers a 50% power reserve. This supports brief peak loads without shutdown.
Q5: Which shipping methods do you use?
A: We ship via Fedex, UPS, and DHL. All orders include tracking and careful packaging.
