Aiphone PS-1208UL – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What input voltage does the Aiphone PS-1208UL power supply accept?
The PS-1208UL runs on 100-240V AC, 50/60Hz, so it works on standard North American 120V and on 230V service without a separate model. Output is regulated 12V DC. Power consumption is 37W, 65-82VA, which is what you use when you are sizing the branch circuit or tallying draw in a panel schedule.
2) How much current does the Aiphone PS-1208UL supply, and is there a bigger version?
Two output current choices are offered: 0.8A and 2.25A, both at 12V DC. The 0.8A is the PS-1208UL itself; step up to the 2.25A option if you are powering a strike plus intercom stations off one supply. Add up the continuous draw of every device on the run and pick the option above that total, not equal to it.
3) Can the Aiphone PS-1208UL run a 12V electric strike or maglock?
Only a small one. At 0.8A the PS-1208UL has 800mA of headroom at 12V DC, which covers an intercom and a low-draw strike but not much else. Most maglocks and continuous-duty strikes pull more than that, and this is a single-output supply with no distribution board or PTC-protected outputs. For multiple locks on one supply, look at something like the RCI DKPS-2A, which has 8 outputs at 12/24VDC and 2A, or the Von Duprin PS902 base power supply at 2A 12/24 VDC field selectable.
4) Does the Aiphone PS-1208UL have battery backup?
No battery backup. The PS-1208UL is a corded 12V DC supply with a 6' 2" cord, so when the power drops the load drops with it. If your opening needs to hold up through an outage, choose a supply built for standby batteries instead: the Adams Rite PS-1 is a 1 amp 12/24 volt DC regulated supply with battery backup, and the Command Access PS204/204B gives 2A at 24VDC with battery backup.
5) I need 24V for my access control hardware. Will the Aiphone PS-1208UL work?
No. The PS-1208UL is 12V DC only, with no dual-voltage selection, so anything spec'd at 24V needs a different supply. Field-selectable options ZenSupply carries include the SDC 620 Series, a 1 amp regulated and filtered supply with dual voltage selection, the SDC 632 Series at 2 amps, and the Securitron AQD1 switching supply at 12/24 VDC 1 amp.
6) Will the Aiphone PS-1208UL run a motorized latch retraction exit device or a delayed egress device?
The Aiphone PS-1208UL is a 12V DC, 800mA regulated supply for electronic access control and intercom components. Motorized latch retraction and delayed egress hardware is served by dedicated units in the comparable set: the BEST RPSMLR2 Series is a power supply for motorized latch retraction exit devices, and the BEST PS161-6 is a power supply for delayed egress exit devices with 120V input, 12/24V output and 6A capacity. The BEST ELR150 Series is a power supply control module for electronic access control.
7) What is the closest equivalent to the Aiphone PS-1208UL if I need a 12V DC supply from a different manufacturer?
The Aiphone PS-1208UL delivers a regulated 12V DC output at 800mA from a 100-240V AC, 50/60Hz input. For a straight 12V DC replacement from another brand, the ROFU 9126T is a plug-in mini power supply rated 12 VDC at 1.5A with a time delay, and the Securitron AQD1 is a switching supply rated 12/24 VDC at 1 Amp. The Securitron AQS1210 is also fixed at 12 VDC but rated 10 Amp, which is a far larger supply than the 800mA the Aiphone unit provides.
8) I need more than 800mA at 12 volts for a bank of strikes. What should I use instead of the PS-1208UL?
The Aiphone PS-1208UL is rated 12V DC at 800mA, and it is also offered in a 2.25A output current option. If the load runs past that, the SDC 632 Series is a 2 Amp regulated and filtered low voltage supply with dual voltage selection, the SDC 634 Series is the 4 Amp version of the same family, and the Securitron AQS1210 is a 12 VDC supply rated 10 Amp. The Von Duprin PS902 base power supply is 2A, 12/24 VDC field selectable for access control.
9) Does the Aiphone PS-1208UL include battery backup, and what has it if I need standby power?
The Aiphone PS-1208UL is described as a regulated 12V DC supply with a 100-240V AC input, a 6' 2" cord, and 37W, 65-82VA consumption. Supplies in the comparable set that carry battery backup as part of their description 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 with 2A at 24VDC and battery backup, and the Detex 10-800 Series universal logic controller with a 120VAC/24VDC supply and battery backup. Of those three, the Adams Rite PS-1 is the one that covers 12 volts.
10) My devices need 24 volts, not 12. Which of these supplies should I be looking at instead of the Aiphone PS-1208UL?
The Aiphone PS-1208UL output is 12V DC, so a 24 volt load needs a different unit. The Command Access PS1 Series is a 24VDC linear supply with 1 Amp output and the Command Access PS210 is a UL 6E/CSA linear supply with 1.5A at 24VDC and boost circuitry. Dual voltage options that cover both rails include the SDC 620 Series at 1 Amp, the SDC 631 Series at 1.5 Amp and the Securitron AQL4 switching supply at 12/24VDC, 4/3 Amp. The Altronix AL1024ULACMCB is a 24VDC at 10A access power controller with eight PTC outputs in a grey enclosure.
11) I need to distribute power to several doors from one point. Is the Aiphone PS-1208UL the right choice?
The Aiphone PS-1208UL is a single regulated 12V DC output with a 6' 2" cord, sized to power access control and intercom components rather than to branch power out to a set of doors. Units described with multiple protected outputs are the RCI DKPS-2A, a power supply with 8 outputs at 12/24VDC and 2A, and the Altronix AL1024ULACMCB, a power supply and access power controller with 8 PTC outputs at 24VDC and 10A from a 115VAC 60Hz, 4.2A input.
12) How long is the cord on the Aiphone PS-1208UL, and where can I mount it?
The cord runs 6' 2", which sets how far the supply can sit from a receptacle. Plan the location within that reach of an outlet near the control panel, enclosure, or equipment rack. If your only receptacle is further out, you are running a new outlet or picking a hardwired supply, not extending the cord.
13) What is the difference between the Aiphone PS-1208UL and the PS-1225UL?
Output current. Both are 12V DC UL Listed Aiphone supplies; the 1208 gives 0.8A and the 1225 gives 2.25A. Input, 100-240V AC 50/60Hz, is the same either way. Pick by total device draw on the circuit.
14) Is a power transfer hinge or a field tester an alternative to the Aiphone PS-1208UL?
No. The Aiphone PS-1208UL is a UL Listed supply that converts 100-240V AC, 50/60Hz building power into a regulated 12V DC, 800mA output. Two items that appear alongside it serve different roles: the ROFU 10305-LA/10306-LA is a tamper resistant power transfer hinge rated 1.5A at 42V in a plastic white finish, which carries conductors through the door edge rather than generating power, and the Command Access CAT Field Tester is a portable 12-24VDC unit that runs from DeWalt, Makita and Milwaukee batteries for bench and field checks. The Securitron BPSS is a boxed solar power supply, a different source entirely from an AC-fed unit.
15) Which comparable 12 volt supply accepts 100-240V AC input like the Aiphone PS-1208UL?
The Aiphone PS-1208UL accepts 100-240V AC at 50/60Hz, which covers a wide range of supply conditions. Among the comparables, the ROFU 9102-12D UL/9102-24D is described with a 10/120VAC, 60Hz input, and the Altronix AL1024ULACMCB takes 115VAC at 60Hz. Both are specified around North American line voltage rather than the universal range the Aiphone unit states.
16) Does the Aiphone PS-1208UL come in an enclosure, and what does if I need one?
The Aiphone PS-1208UL is a compact unit with a 6' 2" cord meant to sit near a control panel, enclosure or equipment rack. If the installation calls for the supply itself to be housed, the Locknetics LP Series 150 and 250 Amp supply is furnished with an enclosure, the Altronix AL1024ULACMCB comes in a grey enclosure, and the Securitron BPSS is a boxed solar power supply.
17) For a specification that calls out a listed or graded power supply, how does the Aiphone PS-1208UL compare?
The Aiphone PS-1208UL is UL Listed, independently tested to recognized safety standards for electronic power supplies, and is a commercial unit. Among the comparables, the Von Duprin PS902 base power supply carries a Grade 1 rating and is 2A, 12/24 VDC field selectable, and the Command Access PS210 is described as UL 6E/CSA with 1.5A at 24VDC output. Those three give a submittal reviewer three separately documented compliance paths at different output ratings.
18) I need a timed release on the door power. Does the Aiphone PS-1208UL do that or do I need a controller?
The Aiphone PS-1208UL provides continuous regulated 12V DC at 800mA; timing and logic are handled upstream of it. The ROFU 9126T is a plug-in mini power supply rated 12 VDC at 1.5A that includes a time delay, the Detex 10-800 Series is a universal logic controller paired with a 120VAC/24VDC supply and battery backup, and the SDC 631 Series is a DC power controller rated 1.5 Amp with dual voltage selection.
19) Is the Aiphone PS-1208UL a commercial-grade power supply or a consumer plug pack?
It is classed commercial and electronic, and it is the supply Aiphone pairs with its intercom and access control equipment. Regulated 12V DC output and the 100-240V AC input make it predictable for load planning, which is what a facility standardizing on one supply across multiple entries cares about.
20) Is the Aiphone PS-1208UL a switching or a linear power supply compared with the alternatives?
The Aiphone PS-1208UL is described as a regulated 12V DC supply with universal 100-240V AC input and 37W, 65-82VA consumption. Among the comparables the construction type is called out directly on several: the Securitron AQD1, AQL4 and AQS1210 are switching power supplies, while the Command Access PS1, PS204/204B and PS210 are linear power supplies. That distinction matters where a designer has a preference on ripple and heat for the panel being fed.
