Allen-Bradley 1606-XLS240-UPSC DC UPS

Allen-Bradley 1606-XLS240-UPSC DC UPS

The 1606-XLS240-UPSC belongs to the Allen-Bradley Bulletin 1606-XLS series of DC UPS modules. This unit combines a power supply function with an integrated battery for uninterruptible 24 V DC operation. Its built-in 12 V, 5 Ah battery keeps critical loads running during mains failures. Engineers often specify this model for PLC racks, HMI panels, and control circuits that must ride through power outages. The 1606-XLS240-UPSC requires no external battery cabinet, which saves panel space. Moreover, ready, buffering, inhibit, and replace-battery signals give operators clear status feedback. The model remains active on official Rockwell product pages, which supports long-term availability.

Technical Specifications

The electrical performance of the 1606-XLS240-UPSC suits continuous industrial duty. Input voltage is DC 24 V nominal from the system supply. Output voltage stays at DC 24 V nominal, regulated to 22.5 V during buffer operation. Output current reaches 10 A nominal with a rated power of 240 W. In buffer mode, the unit delivers up to 360 W with 10 A / 15 A nominal buffer output. A temperature sensor tracks the end-of-charge point automatically, which extends battery life. Additionally, ready, buffering, inhibit, and replace-battery signals support status monitoring. No communication interface exists on this model, which keeps wiring simple. Approvals include UL 60950-1, cUL, and CE marking per the Bulletin 1606 standard.

Mechanical and Environmental Parameters

The unit uses DIN rail mounting with spring terminals for fast, secure connections. Dimensions measure 124 × 123 × 169 mm in H×W×D format. Weight is approximately 2.85 kg, largely due to the integrated battery. Operating temperature ranges from 0 to +40 °C per the battery-based DC-UPS specification. Storage temperature spans -40 to +85 °C for non-operating conditions. Relative humidity tolerates 5 to 95% non-condensing. The protection rating is IP20, reflecting its DIN-rail enclosure construction. The wider 123 mm body accommodates the internal battery. Meanwhile, the spring terminals speed up wiring in dense control cabinets.

Installation Guide

First, mount the 1606-XLS240-UPSC on a standard 35 mm DIN rail. Next, connect the DC input terminals to the 24 V system bus. Then, wire the DC output to the loads that need outage protection. Keep the input and output wiring short to minimize voltage drop. Additionally, connect the ready, buffering, inhibit, and replace-battery signals to the control system if monitoring is required. Check the battery connection before first use. Finally, verify all connections before applying power. The IP20 rating requires installation inside a protective enclosure. Proper airflow around the unit supports reliable cooling during buffer events.
