Altronix LPS5C12X Linear Power Supply/Charger, 115VAC 50/60Hz at 1.6A Input, 12VDC at 3.5A Output, Grey Enclosure

Those applications have their own dedicated supplies. For motorized latch retraction exit devices, the BEST RPSMLR2 Series is the purpose-built supply, and for delayed egress exit devices the BEST PS161-6 provides 120V input with 12/24V output at 6A capacity. If you need relay and control logic rather than raw power, the BEST ELR150 Series is a power supply control module for electronic access control, and the Detex 10-800 Series is a universal logic controller with a 120VAC/24VDC supply and battery backup. The Altronix LPS5C12X is a straight 12VDC at 3.5A linear supply and charger without that device-specific circuitry.

The Altronix LPS5C12X is a single-output 12VDC supply at 3.5A, so branch protection has to be handled downstream. If you want the distribution built in, the RCI DKPS-2A provides eight outputs at 12/24VDC and 2A total for access control systems. For a larger multi-door job, the BEST PS161-6 takes 120V input and gives 12/24V output at 6A capacity, and the Securitron AQS1210 is a 12VDC switching supply rated 10 amps.

No. The LPS5C12X outputs 12VDC at 3.5A and is not a dual-voltage unit. For a 24VDC opening, the Command Access PS1 Series is a 24VDC linear supply with 1 amp output, the Command Access PS204/204B is a linear supply at 2A/24VDC with battery backup, and the Command Access PS210 is a UL 6E/CSA linear supply with 1.5A at 24VDC and boost circuitry. Field-selectable options that cover both voltages include the Von Duprin PS902 base power supply, 2A at 12/24VDC, and the SDC 632 Series 2 amp supply with dual voltage selection.

If you are feeding several openings off one enclosure, look at a multi output controller rather than a single supply. The RCI DKPS-2A carries 8 outputs at 12/24VDC and 2 amps, and the Detex 10-800 Series pairs a universal logic controller with a 120VAC/24VDC supply and battery backup. The LPS5C12X is the straightforward 12VDC supply and charger where one device or a small load is being fed.

A few items sit in the same family but solve different problems. The ROFU 10305-LA/10306-LA is a tamper resistant power transfer hinge rated 1.5A at 42V, which carries power through the door rather than generating it. 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. The ROFU 9126T is a plug-in mini supply at 12VDC/1.5A with time delay, a cord-connected device rather than a hardwired enclosure. The Securitron BPSS is a boxed solar power supply. For a hardwired 115VAC to 12VDC 3.5A replacement, none of those substitute for the Altronix LPS5C12X.

The Aiphone AC-PS1250 is a UL listed 12V DC 5A power supply built for Aiphone AC Series access control kits, which puts it just above the LPS5C12X output of 12VDC at 3.5A. The ROFU 9102-12D UL is another UL option, taking 10/120VAC 60Hz input. If the panel is 24V, the Command Access PS210 is listed to UL 6E/CSA at 1.5A, 24VDC.

No options to configure. LPS5C12X is ordered as one part, in the grey enclosure, so there is no finish, voltage, or output selection to make on the order. Plan your conduit and knockout locations around the enclosure when you lay out the closet.

The Altronix LPS5C12X covers 12VDC at 3.5A per enclosure. For heavier risers, the BEST PS161-6 gives 12/24V output at 6A from a 120V input, the Securitron AQS1210 is a 12VDC 10 amp switching supply, and the Locknetics LP Series is offered in 150 and 250 amp ratings with an enclosure. Mixing capacities across a facility works as long as each unit matches the voltage the downstream hardware requires.
