Altronix AL600ULX – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Altronix AL600ULX run 12V and 24V locks, or do I have to pick one?
The AL600ULX is a single-output supply that converts a 115VAC, 60Hz input into one 12VDC or 24VDC output. You select the output voltage on the board, so the whole supply runs at one voltage. If you have a mix of 12V and 24V devices on the same opening, you need a second supply or a multi-voltage setup.
2) How much current does the AL600ULX actually give me for maglocks and strikes?
Rated at 6A output at either 12VDC or 24VDC. Add up the holding current of every lock, strike, reader and REX on the circuit and keep the total under 6A. Note the input side draws 115VAC 60Hz at 3.5A, so plan the branch circuit accordingly.
3) Does the AL600ULX include a battery charger for backup power?
Yes, it is a power supply/charger, so the charging circuit for standby batteries is built in. The unit ships with the grey enclosure, the charger, and a single Class 2 output. Batteries themselves are a separate purchase.
4) I need to power eight doors from one panel. Is a single-output supply like the AL600ULX the right choice?
Not by itself. The AL600ULX gives you one 12/24VDC output at 6A, so feeding multiple doors from it means adding a distribution or access power controller board downstream to break that single output into individually fused or PTC-protected runs. If you want the outputs already split at the supply, look at a multi-output unit instead, such as the RCI DKPS-2A, which provides 8 outputs at 12/24VDC but only 2A total.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Altronix AL600ULX if I need another 6 amp 12/24VDC supply from a different brand?
The BEST PS161-6 is the nearest match in the group: it takes a 120V input and puts out 12 or 24V at 6A capacity, the same output current the AL600ULX carries at 12/24VDC. The difference is application focus - the PS161-6 is built for delayed egress exit devices, while the AL600ULX is a general power supply/charger with a single Class 2 output and an enclosure, used for general access control, CCTV, fire alarm and POIP loads.
6) I only need to power one maglock or strike - is there something smaller than the AL600ULX?
Yes. The AL600ULX is sized at 6A on a 12 or 24VDC output, which is more than a single lock draws. For one device, the Securitron AQD1 is a 12/24 VDC switching supply rated 1 Amp, the SDC 620 Series is a 1 Amp regulated and filtered low voltage supply with dual voltage selection, and the Adams Rite PS-1 is a 1 amp 12/24 volt DC regulated supply with battery backup. All three hold the dual 12/24V selection the AL600ULX offers, at a fraction of the current.
7) The AL600ULX has a single output but I need to feed several doors from one cabinet - what should I use instead?
The AL600ULX converts its 115VAC input into one 12VDC or 24VDC output. If you need the current split per door, the RCI DKPS-2A is a power supply with 8 outputs at 12/24VDC and 2A for access control systems. Note the tradeoff: the DKPS-2A distributes across eight outputs but carries 2A total, while the AL600ULX puts its full 6A behind a single output.
8) What comes in the box with the AL600ULX, and do I need a separate can to mount it?
No separate enclosure needed. The AL600ULX comes in its own grey enclosure with the board, charger, and a single Class 2 output already fitted. What you add is the low voltage wiring, standby batteries if you want backup, and an access control board if you are distributing to multiple doors.
9) Can I hardwire the AL600ULX to a standard 120V circuit?
Yes. It is a 120V nominal device taking 115VAC, 60Hz on the line side, so a standard North American 120V branch circuit feeds it. This is commercial-rated equipment, so treat the AC connection as electrician work under the local code.
10) What else could I use instead of the Altronix AL600ULX at a similar 6 amp capacity?
The closest match on capacity is the BEST PS161-6, also 120V input with 12/24V output and 6A capacity, though it is sold for delayed egress exit devices. Below that, the Securitron AQS1210 is 12VDC only at 10A, and the SDC 634 Series is a 4A regulated and filtered supply with dual voltage selection. If your load is small, the Von Duprin PS902 base supply is 2A field selectable 12/24VDC.
11) I am replacing a small plug-in transformer on one electric strike. Is a 6A supply overkill?
For a single strike, yes, the AL600ULX 6A capacity is far more than the load needs and you are paying for an enclosure and charger you may not use. A one-door job is better served by something like the SDC 620 Series 1 Amp regulated supply with dual voltage selection, the Securitron AQD1 at 12/24VDC 1 Amp, or the ROFU 9126T plug-in mini supply at 12VDC 1.5A with time delay. Step up to the AL600ULX when you are consolidating several openings or want the battery charger on board.
12) Will the AL600ULX run motorized latch retraction exit devices, or do I need a dedicated supply?
Motorized latch retraction has its own inrush profile, and there is a purpose-built option: the BEST RPSMLR2 Series is a power supply specified for motorized latch retraction exit devices. The AL600ULX is a general power supply/charger delivering a single 12 or 24VDC non power-limited output at 6A from a 115VAC 60Hz input, intended for general use, CCTV, fire alarm and POIP. For an MLR device, match the device manufacturer's called-out supply.
13) What is between the AL600ULX and a 1 amp supply if 6 amps is more than I need?
Several mid-range options carry the same dual 12/24V selection. The Securitron AQL4 is a switching supply rated 12/24VDC at 4/3 Amp, and the SDC 634 Series is a 4 Amp regulated and filtered low voltage supply with dual voltage selection. Lower still, the SDC 632 Series is 2 Amp and the Command Access PS204/204B is a linear supply at 2A 24VDC with battery backup. The AL600ULX sits above all of them at 6A.
14) What looks like an alternative to the AL600ULX but will not actually power my access control panel?
A few items in the same family are not general-purpose supplies. The Command Access CAT Field Tester is a 12-24VDC portable power supply that runs off DeWalt, Makita and Milwaukee batteries - a bench and jobsite test tool, not a permanent power source. The ROFU 10305-LA/10306-LA is a power transfer hinge rated 1.5A at 42V that carries current through the door edge; it needs a supply feeding it. The Securitron BPSS is a boxed solar power supply. The AL600ULX is a hardwired 115VAC 60Hz unit supplied with an enclosure and charger.
15) I need battery backup on the door - does the AL600ULX cover that, or should I pick a different unit?
The AL600ULX is a power supply/charger and ships with the charger and enclosure included, so battery charging is part of the unit. If you are comparing units that state backup explicitly, the Adams Rite PS-1 is a 1 amp 12/24 volt DC regulated supply with battery backup, the Command Access PS204/204B is a 2A 24VDC linear supply with battery backup, and the Detex 10-800 Series is a universal logic controller with a 120VAC/24VDC supply and battery backup. All three sit well below the AL600ULX's 6A output.
16) Can I use the Altronix AL600ULX for CCTV cameras and fire alarm as well as access control?
Yes. Altronix supplies of this family are put to general use, CCTV, fire alarm and PoIP work as well as door hardware. The deciding factors are the voltage you select (12 or 24VDC) and keeping the connected load under the 6A rating.
17) For a single intercom or entry kit, is the AL600ULX overkill compared to a kit-matched supply?
Likely, yes. The Aiphone AC-PS1250 is a UL listed 12V DC 5A supply built for AC Series access control kits, so it is matched to that equipment and fixed at 12V. The AL600ULX is a 6A unit whose output is field-selectable between 12 and 24VDC, supplied in a grey enclosure, which makes it the choice when you want one supply to serve mixed 12V and 24V hardware rather than one kit.
18) Is a plug-in supply an option instead of the hardwired AL600ULX?
For a small single-device load, yes. The ROFU 9126T is a plug in mini power supply rated 12 VDC at 1.5A with a built-in time delay, and the ROFU 9102-12D UL/9102-24D takes a 10/120VAC 60Hz input. The AL600ULX is a hardwired unit fed from 115VAC 60Hz at 3.5A input, rated 6A output with an enclosure and charger, which is the configuration you want in a permanent panel installation.
