achieve a 10A redundant system.
• N+1 Redundancy—Use of three or more identical power supplies in parallel

Q.
Description
The 1606-XLSRED40 is a redundancy module which can
be used to build 1+1 and N+1 redundant systems. It is
equipped with two input channels, which can be
connected to power supplies with up to 20A output
current and one output, which can carry nominal
currents up to 40A. The module is suitable for power
supplies with constant current overload behavior as well
as any kind of “Hiccup” overload behavior.
The novelty of this redundancy module is the utilization
of mosfets instead of diodes for the decoupling of the
two input channels. This reduces the heat generation
and the voltage drop between input and output. The
redundancy module does not require an additional
auxiliary voltage and is self-sufcient even in case of a
short circuit across the output.
Due to the low power losses, the unit is very slender and
only requires 36mm width on the DIN rail. Large
connection terminals allow for a safe and fast
installation with a large international approval package.
This unit is suitable for nearly every application.

1. Intended Use
• This redundancy module is designed for installation in an enclosure and is intended for general use such as in industrial control, office,
communication and instrumentation equipment.
• This redundancy module can be used with any type of power supply as long as the maximum ratings are not exceeded. It is suitable for power
supplies with constant current overload behavior as well as any kind of “Hiccup” overload behavior.
• Do not use this redundancy module in equipment where malfunction may cause severe personal injury or threaten human life.
• This device is designed for use in hazardous, 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.
• 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 input terminals are located on top and the output terminals on the bottom of the unit. For other
mounting orientations, see derating requirements in the present document (refer to section 17.6).
• 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 the side clearance to 15mm in case the adjacent device is a heat
source (e.g. another power supply). See section 17.3 for further information in combination with poser supplies.
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 suitability for this environment. Do not disconnect the unit 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 meets the requirements of the EN 60079-15:2010.
Notes for use in hazardous location areas:

5. Lifetime Expectancy and MTBF
The redundancy module has two input channels which are completely independent from each other. Each control
circuit, auxiliary voltage source, or other circuitry in the module are designed separately for each input. The dual input
redundancy module can be considered as two single redundancy modules combined together in one housing. The only
common point is the circuit trace that ties the two separate circuits together at the output.
The MTBF gures below are for the entire dual input module. If the MTBF number of only one path is needed, simply
double the value from the table.

*) The Lifetime expectancy shown in the table indicates the minimum operating hours (service life) and is determined by the lifetime
expectancy of the built-in electrolytic capacitors. Lifetime expectancy is specied in operational hours and is calculated according to the
capacitor’s manufacturer specication. The manufacturer of the electrolytic capacitors only guarantees a maximum life of up to 15 years
(131 400h). Any number exceeding this value is a calculated theoretical lifetime which can be used to compare devices.
**) MTBF stands for Mean Time Between Failure, which is calculated according to statistical device failures, and indicates reliability of a
device. It is the statistical representation of the likelihood of a unit to fail and does not necessarily represent the life of a product.
The MTBF gure is a statistical representation of the likelihood of a device to fail. A MTBF gure of e.g. 1 000 000h means that
statistically one unit will fail every 100 hours if 10 000 units are installed in the eld. However, it can not be determined if the failed unit
has been running for 50 000h or only for 100h.

15. Physical Dimensions and Weight
Weight 340g / 0.75lb
DIN Rail Use 35mm DIN rails according to EN 60715 or EN 50022 with a height of 7.5 or 15mm.
The DIN rail height must be added to the unit depth (127mm) to calculate the total required
installation depth.
Installation Clearances See section 2.

17. Application Notes
17.1. Recommendations for Redundancy
Recommendations for the conguration of redundant power systems:
-Use separate input fuses for each power supply.
-Use three-phase power supplies to gain functional safety if one phase fails.
-When single-phase power supplies are utilized connect them to different phases or mains circuits if possible.
-Set the power supply in “Parallel-Use” mode if this feature is available
-It is desirable to set the output voltages of all power supplies to the same value.
17.2. Inductive and Capacitive Loads
The unit is designed to supply any kind of load, including unlimited capacitive and inductive loads.
17.3. Lateral Installation Clearances
The minimum clearance recommendations are dened in section 2.
Normally, the following installation clearance are recommended: 40mm on top, 20mm on the bottom, 5mm on the
left and right sides 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).
The clearance between the power supplies and the redundancy module can be reduced to zero under the following
conditions:

17.4. 1+1 Redundancy up to 20A
1+1 Redundancy up to 20A requires two 20A power supplies and one 1606-XLSRED40 redundancy module.
Note: Use separate mains systems for each power supply whenever possible.

17.6. Mounting Orientations
Mounting orientations other than input terminals on the bottom and output on the top require a reduction in
continuous output power or a limitation in the maximum allowed ambient temperature. The amount of reduction
inuences the lifetime expectancy of the power supply. Therefore, two different derating curves for continuous
operation can be found below:
Curve A1 Recommended output current.
Curve A2 Max allowed output current (results in approximately half the lifetime expectancy of A1).
