Altronix TROVE2V2 Access and Power Integration Kit, Includes Trove2 Enclosure and TV2 Altronix/HID VertX Backplane, Includes Mounting Hardware

TROVE2V2 is an access and power integration kit: you get the Trove2 enclosure, the TV2 backplane for Altronix and HID VertX components, and the mounting hardware to assemble it. It's the housing and mounting platform, so the VertX access control boards and the Altronix power supply modules you intend to mount are ordered separately to suit the door count and voltage you're building for.

It's built around 120V AC line input, so plan a dedicated 120V circuit to the enclosure location. The DC output voltages the doors see depend on which Altronix power supply modules you mount on the TV2 backplane.

The TV2 backplane in the TROVE2V2 kit is the Altronix/HID VertX version, so it's laid out for VertX boards alongside Altronix power. If your head end is a different manufacturer's controller, you want the Trove backplane cut for that brand instead, not TV2.

Plan on adding power. The kit covers the enclosure, the VertX backplane and mounting hardware; the actual supply and output board are Altronix modules that mount inside. If you only need to power a couple of electrified devices and don't have VertX gear to house, a standalone boxed supply is the simpler buy, for example the BEST PS161-6 with 120V input and 12/24V output at 6A, or the Von Duprin PS902 base power supply at 2A with field selectable 12/24 VDC.

The TROVE2V2 is an integration kit built around the Trove2 enclosure with a TV2 Altronix/HID VertX backplane and mounting hardware, so it is sized for consolidating access control boards and power in one cabinet. For a small job that only needs low voltage DC to a strike or two, a standalone supply is the simpler route: the Securitron AQD1 is a switching power supply rated 12/24 VDC at 1 amp, the SDC 620 Series is a 1 amp regulated and filtered low voltage supply with dual voltage selection, and the Command Access PS1 Series is a 24VDC linear supply with 1 amp output. None of those include a backplane for mounting access control panels.

For distributed door power, the RCI DKPS-2A is a power supply with 8 outputs at 12/24VDC and 2A for access control systems, and the BEST PS161-6 runs a 120V input to a 12/24V output with 6A capacity. The TROVE2V2 differs in that it is an integration kit - enclosure plus the TV2 backplane designed for Altronix/HID VertX hardware - rather than a single boxed supply, so it is chosen when the access control panels and the power are being mounted together in one cabinet.

A few items in the same family are purpose-built and will not substitute for an access and power integration kit. The ROFU 10305-LA/10306-LA is a tamper resistant power transfer hinge rated 1.5A at 42V - it moves power through the door rather than supplying it. 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. The Command Access CAT Field Tester is a portable 12-24VDC tester that runs on DeWalt, Makita and Milwaukee batteries, meant for bench and field testing rather than permanent installation. The TROVE2V2 is the Trove2 enclosure with the TV2 Altronix/HID VertX backplane and mounting hardware for building up an access control cabinet.

Yes, it's a commercial-duty product. Altronix classes the TROVE2V2 as an access power controller with power supplies, the pre-wired backplane approach integrators use when they're consolidating VertX controllers, power and door outputs into one wall-mounted can instead of hanging separate boxes beside each other.

Different jobs. A multi-output supply like the RCI DKPS-2A gives you eight 12/24VDC outputs at 2A in its own box and nothing more. The Trove2 approach gives you a single enclosure with a backplane that carries both the HID VertX access controllers and the Altronix power in one pre-laid-out assembly, which is what you want when you're terminating a lot of doors and don't want three cans on the wall. For one or two electrified locks, the standalone supply is less hardware.

Latch retraction is a special case. MLR devices draw a high inrush and need a supply built for it, such as the BEST RPSMLR2 series power supply for motorized latch retraction exit devices. The Trove2 enclosure and TV2 backplane are the access control integration platform, so whatever you mount inside has to be rated for the MLR load, and a general purpose access supply usually is not.

If the spec calls out battery backup at the supply itself, the Adams Rite PS-1 is a regulated 1 amp 12/24 volt DC supply with battery backup, the Command Access PS204/204B is a linear supply with 2A at 24VDC and battery backup, and the Detex 10-800 Series is a universal logic controller with a 120VAC/24VDC power supply and battery backup. The TROVE2V2 is supplied as the Trove2 enclosure plus the TV2 Altronix/HID VertX backplane and mounting hardware, so it is the cabinet and mounting platform the system is built into rather than a boxed supply with a stated backup arrangement.

The Aiphone AC-PS1250 is a 12V DC 5A UL listed supply matched to Aiphone AC Series access control kits, and the Von Duprin PS902 is a base power supply rated 2A at 12/24 VDC field selectable for access control and carries a Grade 1 designation. Both are self-contained supplies tied to their own brand ecosystems. The TROVE2V2 is an access and power integration kit - the Trove2 enclosure with the TV2 Altronix/HID VertX backplane and mounting hardware - chosen when Altronix or HID VertX boards are being consolidated into a single cabinet. It runs on 120V input power.

On a one-door retrofit the ROFU 9126T is a plug in mini power supply rated 12 VDC at 1.5A with time delay, which avoids mounting a cabinet entirely. The ROFU 9102-12D UL/9102-24D takes a 10/120VAC 60Hz input, and the SDC 631 Series is a 1.5 amp regulated and filtered DC power controller with dual voltage selection. The TROVE2V2 is built for the opposite case - the Trove2 enclosure with the TV2 Altronix/HID VertX backplane, where multiple access control boards and power are mounted together.

The TROVE2V2 is a 120V input product, so it needs line power at the cabinet. Where that is not available, the Securitron BPSS is a boxed solar power supply. For applications where the need is intermittent testing rather than permanent power, the Command Access CAT Field Tester is a portable 12-24VDC unit that runs on DeWalt, Makita and Milwaukee batteries.

Several supplies are tied to a specific device line: the Aiphone AC-PS1250 is built for Aiphone AC Series access control kits, the BEST RPSMLR2 for motorized latch retraction exit devices, and the BEST PS161-6 for delayed egress exit devices. Standardizing on those means stocking a different supply per device type. The TROVE2V2 takes the other approach - a commercial 120V access and power integration kit consisting of the Trove2 enclosure and the TV2 Altronix/HID VertX backplane with mounting hardware, so Altronix and HID VertX access control boards share one cabinet standard across the facility.
