Important Technical Notes

1. Input Voltage:​ Verify input power matches 85-264V AC range. The unit also accepts 100-250V DC input.

2. Derating:​ Output current must be derated above 40°C ambient temperature. Consult derating curves in technical documentation.

3. Mounting:​ Install on 35mm DIN rail according to manufacturer's instructions. Ensure adequate clearance for ventilation.

4. Wiring:​ Use proper wire size according to current rating. Follow torque specifications for screw terminals.

5. Parallel Operation:​ This model is not designed for parallel operation. Do not connect outputs in parallel.

6. Grounding:​ Ensure proper grounding according to local electrical codes and manufacturer recommendations.

7. Load Conditions:​ Ensure load does not exceed 10A continuous current. Consider inrush current requirements for motor loads.

8. Environmental Conditions:​ Protect from excessive dust, moisture, and corrosive atmospheres. IP20 rating provides basic protection only.

9. Maintenance:​ Periodically check connections, ventilation, and operating temperature. Clean ventilation openings if necessary.

10. Replacement:​ When replacing, ensure adequate power margin for connected loads and identical electrical specifications.

Note: For complete installation guidelines, wiring diagrams, application notes, and detailed technical data, consult the official Allen-Bradley 1606-XLS Series Technical Manual. Always verify the exact model number configuration with the manufacturer, as notation variations may occur.
