Terminology and Abbreviations
•DC-UPS—Uninterruptible power supply with DC Input.
•Normal mode—Describes a condition in which the battery is charged, the input voltage is in range and the output is loaded within the
allowed limits.
• Buffer mode—Describes a condition where the input voltage is below the transfer threshold level, the unit is running on battery (buffering)
and the output is loaded within the allowed limits.
• Charging mode—Describes a condition where the battery is in the process of charging, the input voltage is in range and the output is loaded
within the allowed limits.
• Inhibit mode—Describes a condition where buffering is intentionally disabled by using the inhibit input of the DC UPS (e.g. to perform
service actions or to save battery capacity).
•Buffer time—This term is equivalent to “hold-up time.”
• T.b.d.—To be defined, value or description will follow later.

This uninterruptible power supply (UPS) controller
1606-XLS240-UPS is an addition to standard 24V
power supplies to bridge power failures or voltage
uctuations. Expensive downtimes, long restart
cycles and loss of data can be avoided.
The DC-UPS includes a professional battery
management system which charges and monitors
the battery to achieve the longest battery service life
as well as many diagnostic functions that ensure a
reliable operation of the entire system.
A unique feature of the 1606-XLS240-UPS is that only
one 12V battery is required to buer the 24V output.
This makes matching batteries unnecessary and
allows a precise battery charging and testing.
The 1606-XLS240-UPS requires one external 12V battery
for which two preassembled battery modules
are available: a lightweight 7Ah battery that can be
mounted on the DIN rail and a 26Ah module that
can be panel-mounted for longer buer times.
In addition to the 1606-XLS240-UPS, the
1606-XLS240-UPSC UPS includes the same controller
with an integrated 5Ah battery.

Bulletin 1606 Switched Mode Power Supplies
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 aircraft, trains, nuclear equipment or similar systems where malfunction may cause severe personal injury or
threaten human life.
• This device is designed for use in non-hazardous, ordinary or unclassified locations.
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.
• 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 30%!
• 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

Electronic output current limitation
The DC-UPS is equipped with an electronic output
current limitation. This current limitation works
in a switching mode which reduces the power
losses and heat generation to a minimum. As a
result, the output voltage drops since there is not
enough current to support the load. A positive
eect of the current limit ation in switching mode
is that the input current goes down despite an
increase in the output current resulting in less
stress for the supplying source.

typ. 10.5V At 0A output current
Deep discharge protection ***)
typ. 9.0V At 10A output current
*) The charging time depends on the duration and load current of the last buer event. The numbers in the table represent a
fully discharged battery. A typical gure for a buer current of 10A is 3h 20 min (200 min) for a 7Ah battery.
**) The current between the battery and the DC-UPS is more than twice the output current. This is caused by boosting the 12V
battery voltage to a 24V level.
This high current requires large wire gauges and short cable length for the longest possible
buer time. The higher the resistance of the connection between the battery and the DC-UPS, the lower the voltage on the
battery terminals which increases the discharging current. See also section 25 for further installation instructions.
***) To ensure longest battery lifetime, the DC-UPS has a battery deep discharge protection feature included. The DC-UPS stops
buering when the voltage on the battery terminals of the DC-UPS falls below a certain value. The yellow LED will show
“buer time expired” for a period of 15 minutes after the unit stopped buering.

The battery capacity is usually specied in amp-hours (Ah) for a 20h discharging event. The battery discharge is nonlinear (due to the battery chemistry). The higher the discharging current, the lower the appropriate battery capacity.
The magnitude of the reduction depends on the discharging current as well as on the type of battery. High current
battery types can have up to 50% longer buer times compared to regular batteries when batteries are
discharged in less than 1 hour.
High discharging currents do not necessarily mean high power losses as the appropriable battery capacity is reduced
with such currents. When the battery begins to recharge after a discharging event, the process is completed much
faster since only the energy which was taken out of the battery needs to be “replenished.”
For this reason, the buer time cannot be calculated using the Ah capacity value. The equation “l x t = capacity” in
Ah generally leads to incorrect results when the discharging current is higher than C20 (discharging current for 20h).
Study the battery datasheet and determine the expected buer time by using the example on the next page.
