Altronix AL600ULXPD16 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How many devices can the Altronix AL600ULXPD16 power supply run at once?
Sixteen. The AL600ULXPD16 breaks its DC power out to 16 individually fused outputs, so each door device, camera, or controller gets its own protected circuit and a short on one leg does not drop the rest. Total current shared across those outputs is 6A.
2) Is the Altronix AL600ULXPD16 12VDC or 24VDC?
Both are on the table. The unit converts a 115VAC, 60Hz input into 12VDC or 24VDC output at up to 6A, so you pick the voltage to match the locks or devices you are feeding. All 16 outputs run off that one selected output voltage, so don't plan on mixing 12V and 24V devices on a single unit.
3) Will a 6 amp power supply be enough for my access control doors?
Six amps is the shared ceiling on the AL600ULXPD16, not per output. Add up the holding current of every lock, strike, reader, and REX on the panel and stay under 6A at your chosen voltage. Maglocks at 24V typically draw a few hundred mA each, so a 6A budget covers a mid-size door count; heavy motorized latch retraction devices draw inrush that eats the budget fast and usually want a supply built for that duty, such as the BEST RPSMLR2.
4) What is the difference between the AL600ULXPD16 and a small 1 or 2 amp access control power supply?
Scale and distribution. The Altronix is a 6A unit that fans out to 16 fused outputs, so it acts as the head end for a whole bank of doors or cameras. Single-door or small-panel jobs are better served by something like the Securitron AQD1 at 12/24VDC 1 amp, the Command Access PS204/204B at 2A 24VDC with battery backup, or the Von Duprin PS902 base supply at 2A field selectable 12/24VDC. If you only need a couple of doors, the 16-output board is more hardware than the job calls for.
5) Is there another 6 amp 12/24V power supply I could use instead of the Altronix AL600ULXPD16?
The closest match on capacity is the BEST PS161-6, a 120V input, 12/24V output supply rated at 6A that is intended for delayed egress exit devices. The difference is distribution: the Altronix splits that 6A across 16 fused outputs, so if what you need is one large supply feeding many separate protected circuits, the Altronix is the configuration to stay with. For a mid-size output count at lower current, the RCI DKPS-2A gives 8 outputs at 12/24VDC, 2A.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the Altronix AL600ULXPD16 at 6 amps with a 120V input?
The BEST PS161-6 is the closest match on the core electrical numbers: 120V input, 12/24V output, 6A capacity, the same 6A current the AL600ULXPD16 delivers at 12 or 24VDC. The difference is distribution. The AL600ULXPD16 breaks that 6A out into sixteen fused outputs in a grey enclosure, so one cabinet feeds sixteen separately protected devices. The BEST PS161-6 is described for delayed egress exit devices, so it is aimed at a door-hardware load rather than a sixteen-drop head end. If you are powering a bank of cameras, strikes or notification devices from one point, the sixteen-output Altronix is the layout that fits.
7) I only need to power a few doors, not sixteen. What is a smaller multi-output alternative to the AL600ULXPD16?
Look at the RCI DKPS-2A, which provides 8 outputs at 12/24VDC and 2A for access control systems. It keeps the multi-output distribution concept at half the output count and a lower current rating, where the AL600ULXPD16 supplies 6A across sixteen fused outputs. If your job is four or five strikes or maglocks on one floor, the eight-output DKPS-2A covers it; if you are building a head end that has to feed a whole riser from one cabinet, the sixteen-output Altronix is the one sized for it.
8) Does the Altronix AL600ULXPD16 include an enclosure and battery charger?
Yes, it ships as a complete assembly: grey enclosure, charger circuit, and the 16 fused outputs. The charger side means you can add standby batteries in the cabinet for backup; the batteries themselves are a separate purchase.
9) What input power do I need to wire to the AL600ULXPD16?
Standard 120V building power. It takes a 115VAC, 60Hz feed and draws up to 3.5A on the line side, so run a dedicated circuit sized accordingly and land it in the enclosure. This is a commercial-rated unit, not a plug-in transformer.
10) Can I use this Altronix supply for CCTV cameras and fire alarm, or only door locks?
It is built as a general-purpose multi-output supply. Altronix lists general use, CCTV, fire alarm, and POIP alongside access control, which is why the 12/24VDC selection and the fused output bank matter: cameras on 12V, many door devices on 24V. Note the outputs are non power-limited, so follow the wiring method your local code requires for that class of circuit.
11) I just need to power one electric strike. Is the AL600ULXPD16 overkill, and what should I use instead?
For a single opening, yes. The AL600ULXPD16 converts a 115VAC, 60Hz input into sixteen 12VDC or 24VDC non power-limited outputs at 6A, which is a head-end cabinet for a whole system. For one device, single-output supplies fit better: the Securitron AQD1 is a 12/24 VDC 1 amp switching supply, the Command Access PS1 is a 24VDC linear supply with 1 amp output, and the SDC 620 Series is a 1 amp regulated and filtered low voltage supply with dual voltage selection. All three give you the same 12 or 24V choice without sixteen fused runs you will never land.
12) What is a mid-size option between a single-output supply and the sixteen-output AL600ULXPD16?
The Securitron AQL4 is a switching supply rated 12/24VDC at 4/3 amps, and the SDC 634 Series is a 4 amp regulated and filtered supply with dual voltage selection. Both sit under the 6A the AL600ULXPD16 carries and neither is built around a sixteen-output fused distribution board, so they suit a few devices fed from a short home run. The Securitron AQS1210 is another step, a 12 VDC 10 amp switching supply, but it is fixed at 12 VDC where the Altronix lets you select 12 or 24VDC.
13) Can I use a Von Duprin PS902 in place of the Altronix AL600ULXPD16?
Only if the load is small. The PS902 is a base power supply rated 2A, 12/24 VDC field selectable for access control, carrying a Grade 1 rating. It shares the field-selectable 12 or 24VDC behavior with the AL600ULXPD16, but the Altronix is rated 6A and distributes through sixteen fused outputs from its enclosure. If the drawing calls for one supply feeding a large device count, the PS902 base unit is not a drop-in for that role.
14) Which supply do I use for motorized latch retraction exit devices instead of the AL600ULXPD16?
For motorized latch retraction, the BEST RPSMLR2 Series is built specifically for that duty, and the BEST ELR150 Series is a power supply control module for electronic access control. MLR devices draw a heavy inrush on actuation, so a supply purpose-built for them is the safer specification. The AL600ULXPD16 is a general multi-output supply and charger converting 115VAC 60Hz into sixteen non power-limited 12/24VDC outputs at 6A, described for general use, CCTV, fire alarm and POIP.
15) I need battery backup with my supply. How does the AL600ULXPD16 compare to backup-equipped alternatives?
The AL600ULXPD16 ships as a power supply and charger, with the charger and enclosure included, so battery charging is part of the unit. Smaller comparables that also include backup are the Adams Rite PS-1, a regulated 1 amp 12/24 volt DC supply with battery backup, and the Command Access PS204/204B, a linear supply with 2A at 24VDC and battery backup. Both are single-load scale next to the 6A, sixteen-fused-output Altronix, so choose on how many devices the cabinet has to feed.
16) Is the Aiphone AC-PS1250 a substitute for the Altronix AL600ULXPD16 on an intercom or entry job?
The AC-PS1250 is a UL Listed 12V DC 5A supply for Aiphone AC Series access control kits, so it is matched to that kit and fixed at 12V DC. The AL600ULXPD16 is voltage selectable, converting 115VAC 60Hz into sixteen 12VDC or 24VDC non power-limited outputs at 6A. If your panel is an Aiphone AC Series kit, the kit-matched supply is the straightforward choice; if you are mixing 12V and 24V devices across many drops from one enclosure, the Altronix is the one with the range.
17) Can I use the AL600ULXPD16 to test devices in the field or on a site with no AC power?
It is not suited to either. The AL600ULXPD16 is a commercial, hardwired unit taking a 115VAC, 60Hz input at 120V and mounted in a grey enclosure. For bench or field testing, the Command Access CAT Field Tester is a 12-24VDC portable supply that runs on DeWalt, Makita and Milwaukee batteries. Where there is no utility power at all, the Securitron BPSS is a boxed solar power supply.
