Allen-Bradley 1606-XLS960EE 24V DC PSU

Allen-Bradley 1606-XLS960EE Performance Power Supply

Product Introduction

The 1606-XLS960EE belongs to the Allen-Bradley Bulletin 1606-XL Performance series of switched-mode power supplies. This single-phase model converts 200-240V AC input into a 24V DC output rated at 960W. Large control panels use it to feed PLC racks, distributed I/O, and drive control logic from a single supply. Moreover, the unit supports parallel operation, so engineers can combine two units for higher current or redundancy. The 1606-XLS960EE also provides DC OK and shut-down signal contacts for basic status monitoring.

Technical Specifications

The output delivers 24V DC nominal with an adjustment range of 24 to 28V DC. Maximum output current reaches 40A, which yields the full 960W rating. The input accepts single-phase 200-240V AC nominal. Additionally, DC OK and shut-down signal contacts report output status to external monitoring circuits. Parallel use is supported and marked for parallel or single operation, which gives designers flexibility.

The unit has no communication ports or protocols. Consequently, diagnostics rely on the signal contacts rather than digital interfaces. Operators can adjust the output trim to compensate for cable voltage drop on long runs. Furthermore, parallel connection allows load sharing between two supplies for capacity or redundancy.

Mechanical and Environmental Parameters

The manufacturer does not publish housing dimensions or weight numerically on the product page. Mounting supports both DIN rail and wall installation. Operating temperature spans -25 to +70 °C, covering harsh plant environments. Storage temperature spans -40 to +85 °C in non-operating conditions. Relative humidity ranges from 5 to 95 percent. The protection rating is IP20, so the unit belongs inside a cabinet. Approvals include UL 60950-1, cUL, and CE marking per the Bulletin 1606 standard.

Installation Guide

First, confirm the single-phase supply falls within the 200-240V AC input range. Next, mount the unit on a DIN rail or fasten it to a wall using the mounting holes. Then, connect input and output wiring and torque the terminals to specification. After that, wire the DC OK and shut-down contacts to your monitoring circuit if needed. Finally, for parallel operation, follow the marked configuration and balance cable lengths. Keep clearance around the housing for convection cooling.
