Altronix SMP7CTX – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Altronix SMP7CTX put out 12VDC or 24VDC?
Either one. The SMP7CTX is a field-selectable supply that converts a 115VAC 60Hz input into a regulated 12VDC or 24VDC output at 6A continuous. You set the output voltage during install to match the locking hardware, so one unit covers a 12V maglock job and a 24V electric strike job.
2) Will a 6 amp power supply run all the strikes and maglocks on my access control job?
Add up the holding current of every device on the circuit and keep the total under 6A at the voltage you select, 12VDC or 24VDC. That headroom covers several maglocks or a bank of electric strikes on a typical multi-door opening. If your load is only a door or two, a smaller unit like the Securitron AQD1 at 1 amp or the Von Duprin PS902 at 2A is sized closer to the job.
3) Does the SMP7CTX come with a cabinet, or do I have to buy an enclosure separately?
The enclosure ships with it. The SMP7CTX is supplied in a grey steel enclosure along with the battery charger circuit and a single output, so it mounts on the wall as delivered. Batteries themselves are a separate purchase.
4) Does the Altronix SMP7CTX charge standby batteries for backup power?
Yes, it is a power supply/charger, so the charging circuit for standby batteries is built in rather than added on. That is what keeps locks and readers alive through an outage. Batteries are not included with the unit.
5) I need multiple fused outputs for separate doors. Is the SMP7CTX the right Altronix unit?
The SMP7CTX is supplied as a single-output unit, so branching to several independently protected doors means adding a power distribution module downstream or choosing a multi-output supply. If you want the outputs built in, the RCI DKPS-2A carries 8 outputs at 12/24VDC, though only at 2A total, which is a much smaller current budget than the 6A here.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the Altronix SMP7CTX power supply from another brand at the same 6 amp output?
The BEST PS161-6 is the nearest match on the headline numbers: it takes a 120V input and delivers 12/24V output at 6A capacity, the same dual-voltage 12/24VDC at 6A the SMP7CTX supplies from a 115VAC 60Hz input. The BEST unit is described for delayed egress exit device duty, while the SMP7CTX is a general power supply/charger supplied with an enclosure and battery charger for access control, CCTV, fire alarm and POIP use.
7) I only need to power one or two electric strikes. Is there a smaller alternative to the SMP7CTX?
Yes. The SMP7CTX is a 6A supply, which is more capacity than a single opening usually needs. For light loads the SDC 620 Series is a 1 amp regulated and filtered low voltage supply with dual voltage selection, the SDC 632 Series is the 2 amp version of the same family, and the Securitron AQD1 is a switching supply at 12/24 VDC and 1 amp. The Von Duprin PS902 base power supply gives 2A at 12/24 VDC field selectable for access control.
8) I need multiple fused outputs to feed several doors. What are my options besides the SMP7CTX?
The RCI DKPS-2A is the multi-output alternative in the group, with 8 outputs at 12/24VDC and 2A for access control systems. Compared with the SMP7CTX, which is supplied as a single-output package with enclosure and charger at 12/24VDC 6A, the DKPS-2A splits a smaller total current across eight distribution points. Choose based on whether you need distribution or total current.
9) Will the SMP7CTX run a motorized latch retraction exit device, or do I need a different supply?
Motorized latch retraction devices draw a high inrush and are normally paired with a supply built for that duty. The BEST RPSMLR2 Series is a power supply specifically for motorized latch retraction exit devices. The SMP7CTX is a general-purpose 12/24VDC 6A power supply and charger for access control, CCTV, fire alarm and POIP applications, so confirm the device manufacturer's inrush requirement before substituting it.
10) I need more than 6 amps at 12 volts. What should I use instead of the SMP7CTX?
Step up to the Securitron AQS1210, a switching power supply rated 12 VDC at 10 amps. Note it is a 12 VDC unit, where the SMP7CTX gives you a selectable 12VDC or 24VDC output at 6A. If you need the dual-voltage flexibility at a mid capacity, the Securitron AQL4 is a 12/24VDC switching supply at 4/3 amp.
11) What input voltage does the SMP7CTX need at the wall?
Standard 120V line power. It runs on a 115VAC 60Hz input, so a dedicated 120V circuit to the cabinet is all the electrician has to pull. Output side is low voltage DC.
12) What is the closest 6 amp alternative to the Altronix SMP7CTX?
For the same current class, the BEST PS161-6 runs a 120V input to a 12/24V output at 6A capacity and is sold for delayed egress exit devices. Step down from there and you are into 4A and under: the Securitron AQL4 at 12/24VDC 4/3 amp, or the SDC 634 Series at 4 amps with dual voltage selection.
13) Which alternatives to the SMP7CTX include battery backup capability?
The SMP7CTX is a power supply and charger, so the battery charging circuit is part of the unit. Among the alternatives, 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 linear supply at 2A 24VDC with battery backup, and the Detex 10-800 Series includes a 120VAC/24VDC supply with battery backup. All three are lower current than the SMP7CTX's 6A.
14) Is the Command Access CAT Field Tester an alternative to the SMP7CTX for powering a door?
No. The CAT Field Tester is a portable 12-24VDC unit that runs off DeWalt, Makita and Milwaukee batteries, intended for bench and field testing of devices. The SMP7CTX is a permanently installed 115VAC 60Hz power supply and charger with a grey enclosure feeding 12/24VDC at 6A. They serve different stages of the job and one does not replace the other.
15) I have a 24VDC-only load. Is there a simpler unit than the SMP7CTX?
Yes, several alternatives are fixed at 24VDC and avoid the voltage selection step. The Command Access PS1 Series is a 24VDC linear supply with 1 amp output, and the PS204/204B is a linear supply at 2A 24VDC with battery backup. The SMP7CTX gives a regulated 12VDC or 24VDC output at 6A continuous, so it remains the choice when the load is larger or the voltage may change later.
16) What is between the SMP7CTX and a 1 amp supply if I need around 4 amps?
The SDC 634 Series is a 4 amp regulated and filtered low voltage supply with dual voltage selection, and the Securitron AQL4 is a switching supply at 12/24VDC rated 4/3 amp. Both keep the selectable 12/24V arrangement found on the SMP7CTX, which is rated 6A continuous, so sizing is the deciding factor.
17) For a spec that calls out a Grade 1 power supply, is the SMP7CTX acceptable or should I look at the Von Duprin unit?
The Von Duprin PS902 is the unit in the group carried as Grade 1, a base power supply with 2A at 12/24 VDC field selectable for access control. The SMP7CTX is a commercial 12/24VDC 6A power supply and charger. If the drawing names a grade, the PS902 is the one that answers it directly; if the drawing names current, the SMP7CTX carries three times the PS902's output.
18) Is the Altronix SMP7CTX meant for commercial buildings or residential use?
Commercial. It is built for professional security and access control work, the sort of install where a single cabinet feeds locking hardware, cameras, or notification devices across a building rather than one door in a house.
19) Can I use this Altronix supply for CCTV cameras and not just door hardware?
Yes. Altronix supplies of this type are used for general low voltage loads including CCTV, fire alarm, and POIP equipment, not only electrified locking hardware. Match the camera's input voltage to the 12VDC or 24VDC setting you select and keep total draw inside 6A.
