Altronix AL-400ULPD8CB – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Altronix AL400ULPD8CB a 120V line-powered supply, or does it run off low voltage?
It's a line-powered unit. The AL400ULPD8CB runs on a 120V AC input and converts it to low-voltage DC for access control and security devices, so it needs a dedicated 120V circuit or receptacle at the enclosure location, not a low-voltage feed from another panel.
2) Can one Altronix AL400ULPD8CB feed several maglocks or strikes, or do I need a supply per door?
One unit covers multiple openings. The AL400ULPD8CB is an access power controller with power supply, built with eight individually protected outputs so you can run several locking devices, readers or cameras from a single enclosure instead of hanging a separate transformer at every door. Size the total current draw of all connected devices against the unit's rated output before you commit the whole run to it.
3) What else could I use instead of the Altronix AL400ULPD8CB if I need multiple protected outputs?
The closest multi-output alternative we carry is the RCI DKPS-2A, which also gives eight outputs at 12 or 24VDC, rated 2A. If you only need a single device powered, a smaller supply makes more sense: the Von Duprin PS902 is a 2A 12/24VDC field-selectable base unit, and the Securitron AQL4 is a 12/24VDC switching supply rated 4A at 12V and 3A at 24V. Those single-output units won't give you per-device circuit protection across eight runs the way the AL400ULPD8CB does.
4) Can I run motorized latch retraction exit devices off the Altronix AL400ULPD8CB?
Motorized latch retraction has an inrush demand that is normally handled by a supply built for it. The BEST RPSMLR2 Series is specifically a power supply for motorized latch retraction exit devices, and the BEST PS161-6 is specified for delayed egress exit devices at 12/24V and 6A capacity. The AL400ULPD8CB is a general multi-output supply for uses including CCTV, fire alarm and POIP, so for MLR devices the purpose-built units are the safer specification.
5) I only need to power one electric strike - is there a simpler supply than the Altronix AL400ULPD8CB?
Yes. For a single device, a 1 amp single-output unit is usually enough. The Securitron AQD1 is a switching power supply at 12/24 VDC 1 Amp, the SDC 620 Series is a 1 amp regulated and filtered low voltage supply with dual voltage selection, and the Command Access PS1 Series is a 24VDC linear supply with 1 amp output. The AL400ULPD8CB is built for distributing power to many openings at once with its 8 PTC outputs, so it is more capacity and more branches than a single strike needs.
6) What looks like an alternative to the Altronix AL400ULPD8CB but will not actually replace it?
Two to watch. The ROFU 10305-LA/10306-LA is a power transfer hinge rated 1.5A at 42V - it moves power through the door edge and generates none, so it is a companion to a supply, not a substitute. The Command Access CAT Field Tester is a portable 12-24VDC unit that runs off DeWalt, Makita and Milwaukee batteries, intended for bench and field testing rather than permanent installation. Neither replaces a 115VAC 60Hz fixed supply with 8 PTC outputs.
7) There is no AC power at my gate - what can I use instead of the Altronix AL400ULPD8CB?
The Securitron BPSS is a boxed solar power supply, which is the option when there is no utility feed to the opening. The AL400ULPD8CB requires a 115VAC 60Hz at 3.5A input and lists 120V as its supply voltage, so it is not a candidate for an off-grid gate or remote perimeter door.
8) Do I get 12 volts and 24 volts at the same time from the Altronix AL400ULPD8CB?
No. It's a selectable supply, not a dual-rail one: you set it for either 12VDC or 24VDC and all eight outputs follow that setting. If you have 12V strikes and 24V maglocks on the same job, you need two supplies or you standardize the lock voltage. A second unit, or a 24V-only supply like the Command Access PS1, can cover the odd device out.
9) Does the Altronix AL400ULPD8CB support battery backup for my access control doors?
It's a power supply/charger, meaning the unit charges standby batteries housed in the enclosure so locking devices and readers stay up through a utility outage. Batteries themselves are a separate purchase, sized to the runtime your facility requires. If you want a pre-packaged single-door backup instead, the Adams Rite PS-1 is a 1 amp 12/24VDC regulated supply with battery backup.
10) Which power supplies here include battery backup, since I need standby power at the doors?
Several peers state backup explicitly: 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 is a universal logic controller with 120VAC/24VDC power supply and battery backup. The Altronix AL400ULPD8CB is a power supply/charger, so it is built to charge and maintain standby batteries as well, but those peers ship as backup-oriented packages at lower output.
11) Is there a plug-in alternative if I cannot mount an enclosure like the Altronix AL400ULPD8CB's?
The ROFU 9126T is a plug-in mini power supply at 12 VDC / 1.5A with time delay, which suits a single opening where there is no room or budget for a wall-mounted can. The AL400ULPD8CB ships in a grey enclosure and includes a plug-in transformer, so it still needs wall space for the cabinet - the tradeoff is that you get eight protected outputs instead of one.
12) How does the SDC 634 compare to the Altronix AL400ULPD8CB for a 4 amp requirement?
The SDC 634 Series is a 4 amp regulated and filtered low voltage power supply with dual voltage selection, which lines up with the AL400ULPD8CB at 12VDC at 4A. The AL400ULPD8CB adds eight PTC-protected outputs and a 115VAC 60Hz at 3.5A input in a grey enclosure, so it is the choice when the 4 amps has to be split and individually protected across multiple openings.
13) Is this Altronix supply suitable for commercial building work or is it a residential-grade unit?
Commercial. The AL400ULPD8CB is catalogued as a commercial access control power supply and comes in a wall-mount grey steel enclosure, which is what a security integrator or MRO department would install in an electrical or IDF room rather than a plug-in residential adapter.
14) Can I use an Altronix AL400ULPD8CB on a CCTV or fire alarm circuit, or is it access control only?
It isn't limited to door hardware. Altronix supplies of this family are used for general-purpose low-voltage loads including CCTV, fire alarm and POIP devices, alongside access control locking hardware. That makes it a single part number an MRO or facilities department can standardize on across camera and door circuits.
15) What is the difference between the Altronix AL400ULPD8CB and the BEST ELR150 control module?
The ELR150 Series is a power supply control module for electronic access control, meaning it handles control and switching logic in front of connected hardware. The AL400ULPD8CB converts a 115VAC 60Hz at 3.5A input into eight 12VDC or 24VDC outputs - it is the source of power for the run. On many jobs the two are installed together rather than one instead of the other.
