Product Overview The 1606-XLE260F power supply is part of a series of high-end power supplies
in a medium price range that do not compromise quality, reliability, or
performance. The 1606-XLE260F features high efficiency, advanced inrush
current limitation, active power factor correction (PFC), and a wide
operational temperature range.
The 1606-XLE260F includes all essential basic functions of a power supply. It
has a power reserve of 10% up to 60 °C (140 °F) and 20% up to 45 °C (113 °F)
included, even when used continuously. Additionally, the power supply can
deliver three times the nominal output current for at least 12 ms, which helps
to trip fuses on faulty output branches. The power supply has a wide variety of
applications due to its high immunity to transients and power surges, low
electromagnetic emission, DC OK relay contact, and large international
approval package.
Product features include the following:
• AC 100…240V wide-range input
• Width only 39 mm (1.54 in.)
• +10% (5.4 A) continuous current up to 60 °C (140 °F)
• +20% (6 A) continuous current up to 45 °C (113 °F)
• Efficiency up to 95.5%
• Excellent partial load efficiency
• Safe HiccupPLUS Overload mode
• Active power factor correction (PFC)
• Minimal inrush current surge
• Full power between -25…+60 °C (-13…+140 °F)
•DCOKrelaycontact

DC Input
When using the power supply with a DC input, follow these rules:
• 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 and –pole to N.
• Connect the PE terminal to an earth wire or to the machine ground.

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.
