Altronix SMP3PMCTX – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How much load will a 2.5A access control power supply like the Altronix SMP3PMCTX carry?
2.5A continuous at either 12VDC or 24VDC, from a single output. Size your door hardware against that figure: mag locks, electric strikes, and readers all draw from the same 2.5A budget, and at 24VDC you get the same 2.5A, not half. If you are powering more than a couple of openings or anything with inrush like motorized latch retraction, step up to a larger unit.
2) Does the Altronix SMP3PMCTX charge standby batteries for backup power?
Yes, it is a supervised power supply/charger, so the battery charging circuit is built in and it supervises the AC and battery condition. Batteries themselves are a separate order. What ships is the unit in its grey enclosure with the charger and the single output.
3) Is the SMP3PMCTX a single-output supply or does it feed multiple doors separately?
Single output. The SMP3PMCTX gives you one 12/24VDC feed at 2.5A, so if you need individually fused or separately controlled runs to several doors you would add a distribution board or choose a multi-output unit. The RCI DKPS-2A, for example, is an 8-output 12/24VDC supply at 2A for access control systems.
4) Will the Altronix SMP3PMCTX run a motorized latch retraction exit device?
Motorized latch retraction draws a high inrush and is normally fed by a supply built for it. The SMP3PMCTX is a general access control supply rated 12/24VDC at 2.5A continuous. For MLR exit devices, the BEST RPSMLR2 Series is a power supply specifically for motorized latch retraction exit devices, and the BEST PS161-6 is intended for delayed egress exit devices at 6A capacity.
5) What is the closest 2 amp 12/24VDC alternative to the Altronix SMP3PMCTX power supply?
The SMP3PMCTX delivers a regulated 12VDC or 24VDC output at 2.5A continuous. Two close peers sit just under that: the Von Duprin PS902 is a 2A 12/24VDC field selectable base power supply for access control, and the SDC 632 Series is a 2 amp regulated and filtered low voltage power supply with dual voltage selection. Both match the dual-voltage selectable behavior; the SMP3PMCTX rates 0.5A higher and also accepts a 230VAC 50/60Hz input rather than 120V only.
6) The Altronix SMP3PMCTX is not enough current for my door count - what should I step up to?
The SMP3PMCTX is a single-output supply at 2.5A. For more capacity, the SDC 634 Series is a 4 amp regulated and filtered supply with dual voltage selection, the Securitron AQL4 is a 12/24VDC switching supply at 4/3 Amp, and the Securitron AQS1210 runs 12 VDC at 10 Amp. If the load needs to be split, the RCI DKPS-2A offers 8 outputs at 12/24VDC 2A and the BEST PS161-6 is a 120V input, 12/24V output supply with 6A capacity.
7) Do I need to order an enclosure separately for the Altronix SMP3PMCTX?
No. The unit ships in its own grey enclosure with the charger, so it mounts as supplied in an electrical or telecom room. Some competing units in this class are board-only modules that need a separate can.
8) Is 12V or 24V selected in the field on the Altronix SMP3PMCTX, or do I order one or the other?
One part number covers both. The SMP3PMCTX is ordered as a single model and set for a regulated 12VDC or 24VDC output at the unit, so you can standardize on one supply across openings running 12V strikes and 24V mag locks.
9) What are the alternatives to the Altronix SMP3PMCTX if I need a different amperage?
For a similar 2A field-selectable 12/24VDC supply, the Von Duprin PS902 base power supply is the direct counterpart, and the SDC 632 Series gives 2 amps with dual voltage selection. Need less: the SDC 620 Series or Command Access PS1 at 1 amp. Need more: the SDC 634 Series at 4 amps, the Securitron AQL4 at 12/24VDC 4/3 amp, or the BEST PS161-6 at 6A.
10) I only need to power a single small strike - is there a smaller option than the Altronix SMP3PMCTX?
Yes. The SMP3PMCTX is a 2.5A supply with an enclosure and battery charger, which is more than a single strike needs. Lighter-duty peers include the Securitron AQD1, a 12/24 VDC switching power supply rated 1 Amp, the Command Access PS1 Series 24VDC linear supply with 1 amp output, and the SDC 620 Series 1 amp regulated and filtered supply with dual voltage selection. The ROFU 9126T is a plug-in mini supply at 12VDC/1.5A with time delay if you want no enclosure at all.
11) Does the Altronix SMP3PMCTX provide door control logic, or do I need a separate controller?
The SMP3PMCTX is a supervised power supply and battery charger with a single output - it supplies power and does not provide egress or relay logic. If the opening needs sequencing or logic, the Detex 10-800 Series is a universal logic controller with a 120VAC/24VDC power supply and battery backup, and the BEST ELR150 Series is a power supply control module for electronic access control.
12) Which alternatives to the Altronix SMP3PMCTX include battery backup?
The SMP3PMCTX includes a charger in its grey enclosure, so it supports a standby battery. Peers that also state battery backup are the Adams Rite PS-1, a regulated 1 amp 12/24 volt DC supply with battery backup, the Command Access PS204/204B linear supply at 2A/24VDC with battery backup, and the Detex 10-800 Series controller with battery backup. Note that the Adams Rite and Command Access units are rated below the 2.5A output of the SMP3PMCTX.
13) Is the Altronix SMP3PMCTX suitable for a commercial building install?
Yes, it is a commercial-duty access power controller with power supply, intended for permanent installation in commercial door hardware systems rather than plug-in residential use. It hardwires to 115VAC or 230VAC service and mounts in its own enclosure.
14) What is a 1.5A alternative to the Altronix SMP3PMCTX for a single mag lock?
Stepping down from the 2.5A output of the SMP3PMCTX, the SDC 631 Series is a 1.5 amp regulated and filtered DC power controller with dual voltage selection, and the Command Access PS210 is a UL 6E/CSA linear supply with 1.5A at 24VDC and boost circuitry. Both hold the dual or selectable voltage behavior you get from the SMP3PMCTX at a lower current rating.
15) I need something portable to test 12-24VDC hardware in the field, not a boxed supply like the Altronix SMP3PMCTX.
The SMP3PMCTX is a fixed-mount supply supplied in a grey enclosure for permanent installation. For bench or field testing, the Command Access CAT Field Tester is a portable 12-24VDC power supply that runs off DeWalt, Makita and Milwaukee batteries. For off-grid installs, the Securitron BPSS is a boxed solar power supply.
