Buer Module 1606-XLSBUFFER48
This buer unit is a supplementary device for DC48V power supplies. It delivers power to bridge typical mains failures
or extends the hold-up time after turn-o of the AC power. At times when the power supply provides sucient
voltages, the buer unit stores energy in integrated electrolytic capacitors. In case of mains voltage fault, this energy
is released again in a regulated process.

1606-XLSBUFFER24
The buer unit does not require any
control wiring. It can be added in parallel
to the load circuit at any given point.
Buer units can be added in parallel to
increase the output ampacity or the hold-
up time.
Do not use the buer module to bridge mains interruptions which are longer than typ. 350ms. Once the mains is o
for longer than typ. 350ms, the power supply needs an additional 1s to restart.
