Product details
Product Overview
The 1606-XLS240E is a switched-mode power supply from the Allen-Bradley Bulletin 1606-XL series. It delivers a 24V DC output with 240W of power. A single-phase wide-range AC input covers 100 to 240V. The output adjusts from 24 to 28V DC and supplies up to 10A. Spring clamp terminals speed up wiring. A DC OK relay contact gives a simple status signal. BonusPower reserve power helps ride through short load peaks. This unit suits panel builders who need steady 24V rails.
Core Strengths
- Wide input range. One unit works on 100V to 240V AC lines.
- Adjustable output. Trim 24V up to 28V DC for line drop.
- Reserve power. BonusPower covers brief high-current bursts.
- Fast wiring. Spring clamp terminals cut install time.
- Simple status. The DC OK relay reports output health.
- Flexible mounting. Fits DIN rail or a flat wall.

FAQ
Q: Can this unit run on both 120V and 230V lines?
A: Yes. The wide-range input covers 100V to 240V AC.
Q: How much current can it deliver at 24V?
A: Up to 10A, which equals 240W of output power.
Q: Does it talk to a PLC over a network?
A: No. It has no data port. The DC OK relay is the only signal.
Q: What does BonusPower do for my load?
A: It supplies extra current for short peaks, such as motor starts.
Q: From experience, what causes a low output reading?
A: Loose spring clamps or a trim pot set too low. Check both first.
Q: From experience, how do I catch an overload early?
A: Wire the DC OK relay to an alarm. It flags trouble before a stop.
Q: From experience, why does the unit trip a breaker at start?
A: High inrush on cold start. Use a slow-blow breaker sized for it.
Q: Can I mount it sideways in a tight panel?
A: DIN rail and wall mounting both work. Keep airflow open.
