General Description
The Allen-Bradley Bulletin 1606-XLE power supplies are cost optimized
without compromising quality, reliability and performance. Cat. No.
1606-XLE480EP offers high efficiency, electronic inrush current
limitation, active PFC, and a wide operational temperature range.
The small size is achieved by a synchronous rectification and further
technological design details.
The Bulletin 1606-XLE line of power supplies includes all the essential
basic functions. The devices have a power reserve of 20% included,
which may even be used continuously at temperatures up to +45°C.
Additionally, Cat. No. 1606-XLE480EP can deliver approximately 4
times the nominal output current for 15ms which helps to trip fuses on
faulty output branches.
High immunity to transients and power surges as well as low
electromagnetic emission, a DC-OK relay contact and a large
international approval package for a variety of applications makes this
unit suitable for nearly every situation.

1.Intended Use
This device is designed for installation in an enclosure and is intended for the general professional use such as in industrial control, office,
communication, and instrumentation equipment.
Do not use this power supply in equipment, where malfunction may cause severe personal injury or threaten human life.
This device is designed for use in non-hazardous, ordinary or unclassified locations.
2.Installation Requirements
This device may only be installed and put into operation by qualified personnel.
This device does not contain serviceable parts. The tripping of an internal fuse is caused by an internal defect.
If damage or malfunction should occur during installation or operation, immediately turn power off and send unit to the factory for inspection.
Mount the unit on a DIN-rail so that the terminals are located on the bottom of the unit. For other mounting orientations, refer to Mounting Orientations on page 24.
This device is designed for convection cooling and does not require an external fan. Do not obstruct airflow and do not cover ventilation grid (e.g. cable
conduits) by more than 15%!
Keep the following installation clearances: 40mm on top, 20mm on the bottom, 5mm on the left and right sides are recommended when the device is
loaded permanently with more than 50% of the rated power. Increase this clearance to 15mm in case the adjacent device is a heat source (e.g. another
power supply).
SHOCK HAZARD: Do not use the power supply without proper grounding (Protective Earth). Use the terminal on the input
block for earth connection and not one of the screws on the housing.
- Turn power off before working on the device. Protect against inadvertent re-powering
- Make sure that the wiring is correct by following all local and national codes
- Do not modify or repair the unit
- Do not open the unit as high voltages are present inside
- Use caution to prevent any foreign objects from entering the housing
- Do not use in wet locations or in areas where moisture or condensation can be expected
- Do not touch during power-on, and immediately after power-off. Hot surfaces may cause burns.
WARNING: EXPLOSION HAZARDS!
Substitution of components may impair suit ability for this environment. Do not disconnect the unit or operate the voltage adjustment or S/
P jumper unless power has been switched off or the area is known to be non-hazardous. A suitable enclosure must be provided for the end
product which has a minimum protection of IP54 and fulfills the requirements of the EN 60079-15:2010
.

8. DC-OK Relay
This feature monitors the output voltage, which is produced by the power supply itself. It is independent of a back-fed voltage from a unit connected in
parallel to the power supply output.
Contact closesAs soon as the output voltage reaches 90% of the adjusted output voltage level.
Contact opensAs soon as the output voltage dips more than 10% below the adjusted output voltage.
Short dips will be extended to a signal length of 100ms. Dips shorter than 1ms will be ignored.
