package.
Terms Descriptions
PE The abbreviation for Protective Earth. PE has the same meaning as the symbol.
The symbol for Protective Earth.
Earth, Ground This document uses the term “earth” which is the same as the U.S. term “ground”.
AC 230V A value that is displayed with the AC or DC before the value represents a nominal voltage with standard tolerances (usually ±15%) included. For example, DC 12V
describes a 12V battery disregarding whether it is full (13.7V) or flat (10V).
230V AC A value with the unit (V AC) at the end is a momentary value without any additional
tolerances included.
50 Hz versus 60 Hz As long as not otherwise stated, AC 100V and AC 230V parameters are valid at 50 Hz
mains frequency. AC 120V parameters are valid for 60 Hz mains frequency.
nom Indicates a nominal value.
typ Indicates a typical value.
— (alone in table cell) A dash alone in a table cell indicates that there is no information to be included in that
cell.
Figure 1 - Input Voltage Range The 1606-XLE120F is a cost optimized power
supply that does not compromise on quality,
reliability, or performance. It covers a DC input
range up to 150V DC.
The power supply has a small size, high efficiency,
electronic inrush current limitation, active power
factor correction, and a wide operational
temperature range. The power supply has a power
reserve of 20% included, which can even be used
continuously at temperatures up to 45 °C (113 °F).
It can deliver three times the nominal output
current for 12 ms, which helps to trip fuses on
faulty output branches.

DC Input The device is suitable to be supplied from a DC input voltage. Use a battery or a
similar DC source. A supply from the intermediate DC bus of a frequency
converter is not recommended and can cause a malfunction or damage the
unit. Connect +pole to L, –pole to N and the PE terminal to an earth wire or to
the machine ground.
Figure 6 - Wiring for DC Input
Input Inrush Current An active inrush limitation circuit (NTCs, which are bypassed by a relay
contact) limits the input inrush current after turn-on of the input voltage. The
charging current into EMI suppression capacitors is disregarded in the first
microseconds after switch-on.

Output The output provides a SELV/PELV rated voltage, which is galvanically isolated
from the input voltage.
The output is designed to supply any kind of loads, including capacitive and
inductive loads. If large capacitors, such as EDLCs (electric double layer
capacitors or “UltraCaps”) with a capacitance > 0.1 F, are connected to the
output, the unit might charge the capacitor in an intermittent mode.
The output is electronically protected against overload, no-load, and short-
circuits. If there is a protection event, audible noise may occur.

current that helps to trip fuses on faulty output branches. The output voltage stays above 40V.

Output capacitance Typ 750 μF Included inside the power supply
Back-feeding loads Max 63V The unit is resistant and does not show malfunctioning when a load feeds back voltage to the power supply. It does not matter whether the power supply is on or off. The absorbing energy can be
calculated according to the built-in large sized output capacitor.
(1) This current is also available for temperatures up to 70 °C (158 °F) with a duty cycle of 10% and/ or not longer than 1 minute every 10 minutes.
(2) At heavy overloads, the power supply delivers continuous output current for 1 s. After this, the output is switched off for approx 9 s before a new start attempt
is automatically performed. This cycle is repeated as long as the overload exists. If the overload is cleared, the device operates normally. See Figure 11.

Hold-up Time The hold-up time is the time during which a power supply’s output voltage
remains within specification following the loss of input power. The hold-up
time is output load dependent. At no load, the hold-up time can be up to
several seconds. The green DC OK status indicator is also on during this time.
