Altronix AL600ULM – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How many devices can I run off an Altronix AL600ULM, and how are the outputs protected?
The AL600ULM breaks one 115VAC/60Hz input into five individually protected, Class 2 rated power-limited outputs, each on a PTC (self-resetting) device rather than a fuse. Total output current is 6A shared across those five outputs, so budget your maglocks, strikes, readers and controllers against that 6A ceiling, not 6A per output. PTC protection means a shorted or overloaded run trips and restores itself once the fault is cleared, no fuse to replace on a service call.
2) Does the AL600ULM run 12 volt or 24 volt locks?
Either. The AL600ULM is field selectable for 12VDC or 24VDC output, so the same unit powers a 24V maglock bank or a 12V strike and reader setup. It is one selection for the whole supply, though, not per output, so all five outputs run at the voltage you select. Mixing 12V and 24V devices on one opening means a second supply.
3) What does the fire alarm disconnect on the AL600ULM actually do on a job?
The M in AL600ULM is the fire alarm disconnect. When the building fire alarm signals, the supply drops power to the outputs so magnetic locks and other fail-safe hardware release for egress. That is what lets the supply serve a code-driven egress scheme on a stairwell or a delayed egress opening without a separate relay panel in the run. If your locks are fail-secure and are not required to release on alarm, you do not need the disconnect feature.
4) What should I use instead of the Altronix AL600ULM for motorized latch retraction exit devices?
Motorized latch retraction draws a heavy inrush at the moment of retraction, and the supply for it is usually purpose built. The BEST RPSMLR2 Series is a power supply for motorized latch retraction exit devices, and the BEST PS161-6 covers delayed egress exit devices at a 120V input with 12/24V output and 6A capacity. The AL600ULM is a general access control supply: 6A at 12 or 24VDC broken into five individually protected Class 2 power limited outputs with a fire alarm disconnect. It suits strikes, mags, readers and CCTV loads rather than an MLR inrush profile.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Altronix AL600ULM if I need another 6 amp 12/24VDC supply for a 120V input?
The BEST PS161-6 is the nearest match on the headline numbers: it runs a 120V input with a 12/24V output at 6A capacity, the same 6A current and 120V supply voltage the AL600ULM carries. The differences are in what each one does with that power. The AL600ULM splits its output into five individually protected Class 2 power limited 12VDC or 24VDC outputs and ships with a charger and enclosure, and it includes a fire alarm disconnect. The BEST PS161-6 is built around delayed egress exit devices. Pick the AL600ULM when you need multiple protected branch circuits off one board; pick the PS161-6 when the load is a delayed egress device line.
6) I need a multi-output access control power supply but 6 amps is more than my job needs. What is a smaller alternative to the Altronix AL600ULM?
The RCI DKPS-2A is the step down in capacity while keeping the multi-output layout: it provides eight outputs at 12/24VDC at 2A for access control systems. The AL600ULM carries 6A across five individually protected Class 2 power limited 12VDC or 24VDC outputs. So the DKPS-2A gives you more branches but a third of the current budget, which suits a handful of small strikes or readers, while the AL600ULM is sized for a load bank that actually draws toward 6 amps. Total connected current, not output count, is the number to size against.
7) For a single electric strike or maglock, is there a simpler option than the Altronix AL600ULM?
Yes. For one opening, several single-circuit supplies cover it. The Securitron AQD1 is a switching 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 AL600ULM is built for the opposite case: 6A divided into five individually protected Class 2 power limited 12VDC or 24VDC outputs, with a charger and enclosure. Use the AL600ULM when one cabinet has to feed a run of openings and you want each branch protected separately; use a 1A unit when the cabinet feeds one device.
8) Do I need to buy an enclosure and a battery charger separately for the AL600ULM?
No. The AL600ULM ships as a complete assembly: grey steel enclosure, the charger circuit, and the five PTC Class 2 outputs. You supply the standby batteries and the 115VAC branch circuit feeding it. Nothing else is needed to mount and wire the unit itself.
9) Is a 6 amp access control power supply overkill for a couple of doors, and what is a smaller alternative?
For one or two openings it usually is. The AL600ULM is sized at 6A across five outputs, which suits a floor or a wing of a building where you are feeding several locks, readers and a controller from one can. For a single door, look at a 1 to 2 amp unit: the Securitron AQD1 switching supply at 12/24VDC 1 amp, the Von Duprin PS902 base supply at 2A 12/24VDC field selectable, or the SDC 632 Series 2 amp regulated supply. Step up to the AL600ULM when you want one distribution point instead of several small transformers.
10) Is the Von Duprin PS902 a drop-in replacement for the Altronix AL600ULM?
Not on capacity. The PS902 is a base power supply rated 2A at 12/24 VDC field selectable for access control, carrying a Grade 1 designation. The AL600ULM is a 6A supply at 12 or 24VDC divided into five individually protected Class 2 power limited outputs, shipped with an enclosure and charger. Both take a standard line input and offer both DC voltages, so on a light opening either will run the load, but a panel built around 6A of connected devices will overrun a 2A base board. Check your total draw before treating them as interchangeable.
11) Which alternatives to the Altronix AL600ULM include battery backup for standby power?
The AL600ULM includes a charger along with its enclosure and five PTC Class 2 outputs, so standby batteries are part of its design. Among comparable units, 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 at 2A 24VDC with battery backup, and the Detex 10-800 Series is a universal logic controller with a 120VAC/24VDC supply and battery backup. The distinction between them is scale and function: the Detex unit bundles logic control, the two smaller units are single-circuit, and the AL600ULM carries 6A across five separately protected outputs.
12) What branch circuit does the AL600ULM need, and is it rated for commercial installation?
It runs off a standard 120V, 115VAC 60Hz supply drawing 3.5A at the input, so a dedicated 120V circuit in the electrical room or IDF closet is the normal feed. The unit is a commercial-duty product, intended for access control, CCTV, fire alarm and POIP loads rather than residential use.
13) I am standardizing power supplies across a building. Why pick the Altronix AL600ULM over the smaller cans already installed?
Consolidation is the argument. One AL600ULM feeds up to five separately protected Class 2 circuits from a single 6A supply and a single enclosure, so a floor that currently runs four or five plug-in transformers, such as ROFU 9126T mini supplies at 12VDC 1.5A, collapses into one can with one battery set and one fire alarm disconnect point. That gives you one place to service and one standby battery to test instead of several scattered units.
14) Is a plug-in transformer like the ROFU 9126T an alternative to the Altronix AL600ULM?
Only for a very different scope of work. The ROFU 9126T is a plug in mini power supply rated 12 VDC at 1.5A with time delay, and the ROFU 9102-12D UL/9102-24D runs on a 10/120VAC 60Hz input. Those suit a single device fed from a wall receptacle. The AL600ULM is a cabinet-mounted unit that converts a 115VAC 60Hz input into five individually protected Class 2 power limited 12VDC or 24VDC outputs at 6A, with a charger and grey enclosure, and it is designated for commercial use. If the install calls for hardwired multi-device distribution in a locked can, a plug-in mini supply does not substitute.
15) For a site with no line power, is there an alternative to the Altronix AL600ULM?
The AL600ULM requires a 115VAC 60Hz line input at 120V, so it is not an option where there is no service. The Securitron BPSS is a boxed solar power supply, which is the direction to look for a remote gate or outbuilding without a utility feed. Where line power is present, the AL600ULM gives you 6A split into five individually protected Class 2 power limited 12VDC or 24VDC outputs with an onboard charger.
