1606-XLP36C Allen-Bradley ±12 V 36 W Power Supply

1606-XLP36C Allen-Bradley Compact Power Supply | Bulletin 1606-XL | ±12 V DC, 36 W

The 1606-XLP36C is a compact DIN rail power supply from the Allen-Bradley Bulletin 1606-XL series. It delivers a dual ±12 V DC output at 36 W. Engineers use it for analog signal rails and bipolar loads. Moreover, the unit accepts wide AC and DC input. It mounts on DIN rail with spring terminals. In addition, the output is adjustable from 12 to 15 V. Efficiency reaches 86.0% typical, while ripple and noise stay at 50 mV max. Therefore, it suits sensitive control circuits well.

Technical Specifications

Key Performance Data

• Measurement range: dual ±12 V rail, 2.5 A per channel.
• Line and load response: stable regulation across the full input window.
• Ripple and noise: 50 mV max, suited to analog front ends.
• Temperature range: -10 to +70 °C operating.
• Environmental tolerance: IP20 enclosure, DIN rail mount.
• Noise immunity: tight output filtering supports control logic loads.

Installation Guide

Clip the unit onto a standard DIN rail. Also keep free air around the vents. Use the spring terminals for input and output wiring, and tighten each conductor firmly. Then set the output trim to the target rail voltage. Check polarity on both outputs before you connect loads. Finally, keep AC input wiring apart from signal cables, because this lowers induced noise.

Setup and Maintenance

Setup is fast, and no software is needed. This model has no communication port. Adjust the output with the front trim pot. Verify voltage with a calibrated meter. Maintenance is simple: inspect terminals, clear dust, and recheck output voltage at intervals. The spring terminals reduce screw loosening over time.

Compatibility Notes

The 1606-XLP36C fits Bulletin 1606-XL DIN rail systems. It suits ±12 V analog cards, sensor rails, and bipolar signal circuits. It works with standard 35 mm DIN rail. However, it has no communication interface, so it pairs with any control platform that needs a clean dual rail supply.

Approvals and Certifications

• UL 60950-1
• cUL
• CE marked

These approvals follow the official Bulletin 1606 series standard.

Package Contents and Warranty

• 1 × 1606-XLP36C power supply
• Documentation set as supplied
• 12-month warranty
• Shipping by FedEx, UPS, or DHL

Typical Applications

• ±12 V analog signal rails in control cabinets
• Bipolar sensor and transducer supply
• Compact machine panels with limited space
• Legacy systems needing a drop-in DIN rail supply

Diagnostics

Check the output LED first, and measure both rails under load. A low reading points to overload or a trim setting fault. High ripple points to a worn load capacitor downstream. Therefore, swap the unit to confirm a fault fast.
