The 1606-XLS80E belongs to the Allen-Bradley Performance line within the Bulletin 1606-XL family. This unit suits control panels that need a stable 24V DC rail plus extra current headroom for peak loads. Specifically, it converts wide-range single-phase AC or DC input into a regulated 24V DC output. The 32mm slim housing and spring clamp terminals simplify wiring and save DIN-rail space.
The 1606-XLS80E delivers 80W of rated output power with a typical efficiency of 90%. Output voltage is adjustable from 24V to 28V DC through a front-access potentiometer. This range lets users offset voltage drop on long feeder cables or trim the rail for sensitive loads. Additionally, the BonusPower feature supplies a 5.4A reserve, which covers short-term peaks from contactors and capacitive loads without shutting down the rail.
Input specifications cover a nominal 100-240V AC range and a 88-188V DC range for battery-backed systems. Hold-up time varies from 27ms to 174ms depending on the input voltage, which supports ride-through during brief interruptions. Furthermore, the ripple and noise figure stays at or below 100mV maximum, keeping the DC rail clean for analog devices. The unit also carries UL 60950-1, cUL, and CE marks under the standard Bulletin 1606 approvals.
The 1606-XLS80E measures 124mm high, 32mm wide, and 102mm deep, with a body weight of 0.44 kg. Its IP20 housing fits inside control cabinets and provides finger-safe protection. Operating temperature spans -25°C to +70°C, while storage temperature spans -40°C to +85°C for non-operating conditions. Relative humidity runs from 5% to 95%, and the spring clamp terminals accept standard control wire sizes.
For monitoring, a DC OK relay contact delivers a dry signal that reports output status to a PLC or indicator lamp. Besides the relay, no communication interface exists on this model. Therefore, integration relies on hardwired signaling and standard panel wiring practices.
First, snap the 1606-XLS80E onto a standard 35mm DIN rail using the rear clip. For flat surfaces, use the optional wall mounting bracket instead. Keep ventilation clearance above and below the housing so convection cooling works properly.
Next, wire the input to the L and N terminals and connect protective earth to PE. The spring clamp terminals open with a small screwdriver, so no terminal torque setting is needed. Then wire the output to the + and – terminals and confirm the 24V DC factory setting before energizing sensitive loads. Finally, check the DC OK relay wiring if remote status monitoring is required.

Q1: What input voltages does the 1606-XLS80E accept?
A: The unit accepts 100-240V AC nominal input and 88-188V DC input. This wide range covers both standard mains and battery-backed DC systems.
Q2: What is BonusPower on this model?
A: BonusPower provides a 5.4A reserve above the 3.4A rated current. It handles short-term peak loads from contactors and capacitive circuits without dropping the rail.
Q3: Does the 1606-XLS80E include communication ports?
A: No. It offers only a DC OK relay contact for status signaling. No serial or network protocol is supported.
Q4: How do the spring clamp terminals help installation?
A: Spring clamp terminals accept wires without torque settings. Therefore, wiring is faster and resists loosening from vibration in industrial cabinets.
Q5: What is the operating temperature range?
A: The 1606-XLS80E operates from -25°C to +70°C. Storage conditions range from -40°C to +85°C when the unit is not powered.
