Where This Supply Fits
- Legacy three-phase cabinets still using the original 1606-XL240E-3 design
- Plants that delay a full replacement project and need like-for-like spares
- Machines drawing up to 10 A at 24 V DC
- Panels with limited DIN rail width, at 89 mm front width
- Sites running PULS SL10.300-based designs with the same electrical envelope
Oiltech Controls’s Insight
- The preset 24.5 V matters. Check cable drop before you adjust the pot.
- Output falls to 8.6 A at 28 V. Plan loads against the voltage you actually set.
- Derating above +60 °C is the main field risk. Measure cabinet temperature first.
- Efficiency and ripple data come from the PULS SL10.300 OEM counterpart. Treat them as reference figures.
- Storage and humidity ratings are unpublished. Ask us before shipping or storing in harsh conditions.
- For new builds, the 1606-XLE240E-3 is the supported path. This unit suits maintenance, not new design.
- Weight is 980 g. Use a rail section that handles the load under vibration.

FAQ
Should I buy the 1606-XL240E-3 or the listed replacement?
For a running machine with no design change planned, the original keeps wiring unchanged. For new builds and long-term support, choose the 1606-XLE240E-3. Ask us to compare dimensions and terminals first.
Does the discontinued status affect spare availability?
New factory stock is gone. We supply tested surplus and refurbished units. Each one gets technical verification before shipment.
Can I set the output higher than 24 V?
Yes, up to 28 V DC. Current capacity drops to 8.6 A. Re-check total load after any adjustment.
Why are storage and humidity ratings missing?
The manufacturer does not publish them for this model. For long storage or humid sites, contact our team. We can advise from field experience.
What is the fastest way to confirm fit?
Send us the cabinet photo, the old supply label, and the load list. Email info@oiltechcontrols.com or message +86 158 8020 0923 on WhatsApp.
