Altronix AL1012ULM Power Supply/Access Power Controller, Input 115VAC 60Hz at 2.6A, 5 PTC Outputs, 12VDC at 10A, Grey Enclosure

Yes. The AL1012ULM ships with an onboard charger in the enclosure, so it runs as a supply and charger together and keeps standby batteries topped off for the access control doors it feeds.

Those applications call for hardware built around the device's inrush and logic, not a general multi-output supply. The AL1012ULM is a multi-output access control power supply and charger designed for use with access control systems and accessories, 12VDC at 10A. For motorized latch retraction exit devices, the BEST RPSMLR2 Series power supply is purpose-built for that duty. For delayed egress exit devices, the BEST PS161-6 is specified for that application with 120V input and 12/24V output at 6A. The Detex 10-800 Series pairs a universal logic controller with a 120VAC/24VDC supply and battery backup where sequencing logic is part of the requirement.

The Securitron AQS1210 is the nearest match on output: it is a switching power supply rated 12 VDC at 10 amps, the same 12VDC 10A capacity the AL1012ULM delivers. The difference is architecture and distribution. The AL1012ULM is an access power controller and charger supplied in a grey enclosure with five PTC-protected Class 2 outputs, so downstream devices are fed and individually protected from the unit itself. The AQS1210 is a single switching supply, so output splitting and per-device protection are handled by separate hardware.

For a single strike or maglock, a 1 to 2 amp supply covers the load where the AL1012ULM's 10 amp 12VDC capacity and five PTC outputs are built for feeding a whole access control system. Smaller options include the Command Access PS1, a 24VDC linear supply with 1 amp output; the Securitron AQD1, a switching supply at 12/24 VDC 1 amp; the SDC 620 Series, a 1 amp regulated and filtered low voltage supply with dual voltage selection; and the Von Duprin PS902 base power supply at 2A, 12/24 VDC field selectable. Choose based on whether the device needs 12V, 24V, or a field-selectable unit.

The board arrives already mounted in a grey enclosure, so there is no separate can to buy. You still supply the standby batteries, wire, and any lock power output board or access control panel that mounts alongside it.

Capacity and distribution. The AL1012ULM is a 10A, 12VDC supply with five separately protected outputs, so it feeds a bank of doors from one enclosure. Single-door or small-system supplies such as the Securitron AQD1 at 1 amp, the Command Access PS1 at 1 amp, or the Von Duprin PS902 at 2 amps are sized for one or two openings. If you want 10 amps at 12VDC from another brand, the Securitron AQS1210 is the closest peer.

The AL1012ULM provides five PTC Class 2 outputs. If the panel needs to feed more circuits from one box, the RCI DKPS-2A offers eight outputs at 12/24VDC, 2A, for access control systems. Note the trade: the DKPS-2A spreads 2A across those eight outputs, while the AL1012ULM concentrates 10A at 12VDC across five, so high-draw devices such as maglocks may still point back to the Altronix.

A few nearby items solve different problems. The ROFU 9126T is a plug-in mini power supply, 12 VDC at 1.5A with time delay, so it is a single-device accessory rather than a system supply like the 12VDC 10A AL1012ULM. The Command Access CAT Field Tester is a portable 12-24VDC unit that runs off DeWalt, Makita, and Milwaukee batteries, meant for bench and field testing rather than permanent installation. The ROFU 10305-LA is a power transfer hinge rated 1.5A at 42V - it moves power through the door edge and does not generate it. The Securitron BPSS is a boxed solar power supply for sites without a 120V feed, where the AL1012ULM requires a 115VAC 60Hz input.

The AL1012ULM ships with an enclosure, a charger, and five PTC Class 2 outputs, so standby battery charging is handled on board. Among the alternatives, the Adams Rite PS-1 is a regulated 1 amp 12/24 volt DC supply with battery backup, the Command Access PS204/204B is a linear supply with 2A at 24VDC and battery backup, and the Detex 10-800 Series includes a 120VAC/24VDC supply with battery backup. The Altronix sits well above those on output at 12VDC 10A.

Standardizing usually comes down to how many openings one box can carry. The AL1012ULM is a commercial multi-output access control power supply and charger with five PTC Class 2 outputs at 12VDC 10A from a 120V input, so one unit can head up a cluster of doors. Mid-capacity alternatives include the BEST PS161-6 at 6A with 12/24V output, the SDC 632 Series at 2 amps with dual voltage selection, and the SDC 634 Series at 4 amps with dual voltage selection. The dual-voltage SDC and BEST units give flexibility if some openings use 24V hardware; the Altronix concentrates the most 12VDC current per enclosure.

Commercial. It is built as a multi-output access control power supply and charger for use with access control systems and their accessories, not a plug-in residential transformer.
