Altronix AL1024ULX – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How much 24VDC current does the Altronix AL1024ULX actually deliver?
The AL1024ULX puts out a single 24VDC output rated up to 10A. The supply runs off 115VAC, 60Hz at 4.2A on the input side. Size your load list against the 10A figure, then leave headroom for the battery charging circuit, which shares the same supply.
2) Will the AL1024ULX power 12VDC maglocks or strikes?
No. The AL1024ULX is a 24VDC-only supply, not a field-selectable 12/24V unit. If your locks are 12 volt, look at a dual-voltage supply instead: the Securitron AQS1210 is 12VDC at 10 amps, and the Von Duprin PS902 is field selectable 12/24VDC at 2A for smaller loads.
3) Does the AL1024ULX come with a cabinet, or do I buy the enclosure separately?
The enclosure is included. The AL1024ULX ships as a complete unit with a grey enclosure, the battery charger circuit, and a single fused output, so the only things you add on the job are the standby batteries and your field wiring.
4) Is the AL1024ULX output power limited or non-power limited?
Non-power limited. The AL1024ULX converts 115VAC, 60Hz into a single 24VDC non-power limited output. That matters for how you run and separate the output conductors in a fire alarm or access control install, since non-power limited wiring is not treated the same as power limited wiring in the raceway.
5) Does the AL1024ULX support battery backup for standby power?
Yes, it is a power supply/charger, not just a supply. The onboard charger maintains standby batteries so 24VDC loads ride through a utility outage. Batteries are not part of the package, so order them with the unit.
6) Does the AL1024ULX have multiple outputs for separate doors, or just one?
One. The AL1024ULX is a single fused 24VDC output, so every device hangs off the same circuit and one fault takes them all down. If you need per-door fusing, use a multi-output controller such as the RCI DKPS-2A, which provides 8 outputs at 12/24VDC, or add a distribution board downstream of this supply.
7) What is the closest 24VDC alternative to the Altronix AL1024ULX if I need a smaller amperage supply for a single opening?
The AL1024ULX delivers 24VDC at up to 10A from a 115VAC 60Hz input, which is sized for multiple devices on one board. For a single electrified opening, the Command Access PS1 is a 24VDC linear power supply with a 1 amp output, and the Command Access PS210 is a UL 6E/CSA linear supply rated 1.5A at 24VDC with boost circuitry. Both are fixed 24VDC like the Altronix, so no voltage selection is needed, but neither approaches the Altronix current capacity.
8) I need 10 amps but at 12VDC instead of 24 - what should I order instead of the AL1024ULX?
The AL1024ULX is a fixed 24VDC output supply, so it will not serve a 12VDC device bank. The Securitron AQS1210 is a switching power supply rated 12 VDC at 10 Amp, which matches the current level at the lower voltage. If you would rather keep the option open, the Securitron AQL4 is switchable 12/24VDC at 4/3 Amp and the Von Duprin PS902 is a 2A 12/24 VDC field selectable base power supply.
9) Does the Altronix AL1024ULX include battery backup, or do I need a different supply for standby power?
The AL1024ULX is a power supply/charger and ships with an enclosure, charger and a single fused output, so the charging circuit for standby batteries is on board. If you want a smaller unit that is sold as a battery backup package, the Command Access PS204/204B is a linear supply with 2A at 24VDC and battery backup, the Adams Rite PS-1 is a 1 amp 12/24 volt DC regulated supply with battery backup, and the Detex 10-800 is a universal logic controller with a 120VAC/24VDC power supply and battery backup.
10) The AL1024ULX has one output - what should I use if I need to feed several doors from separate fused outputs?
The AL1024ULX is a single fused output supply, so branch circuits have to be distributed downstream. The RCI DKPS-2A is a power supply with 8 outputs at 12/24VDC and 2A for access control systems, which gives you the per-door distribution in one box at a lower total current. The BEST ELR150 is a power supply control module for electronic access control if you are adding switching and control rather than raw output capacity.
11) Can I use the Altronix AL1024ULX to power motorized latch retraction exit devices or delayed egress hardware?
The AL1024ULX is described for general use, CCTV, fire alarm and POIP applications as a 24VDC non-power-limited source. Exit device manufacturers publish supplies built specifically for those inrush and timing requirements: the BEST RPSMLR2 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. Match the device manufacturer's specified supply where the hardware calls one out.
12) Which of these look like substitutes for the AL1024ULX but will not do the same job?
A few items in the same family are not equivalents. The ROFU 10305-LA is a power transfer hinge rated 1.5A at 42V, a wiring pass-through rather than a power source. 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, not permanent installation. The ROFU 9126T is a plug-in mini supply at 12 VDC 1.5A with time delay, and the Securitron BPSS is a boxed solar power supply. None of these substitute for an enclosed 115VAC-fed 24VDC 10A charger.
13) Can I use the AL1024ULX for fire alarm and CCTV, or is it access control only?
It is a general purpose 24VDC supply/charger. Altronix lists it for general use, CCTV, fire alarm, and POIP applications as well as access control power. The single fused 24VDC output feeds whatever 24 volt load you put on it up to its rating.
14) Is the AL1024ULX overkill for a couple of doors, and what is a smaller alternative?
For one or two electrified openings, 10 amps is far more capacity than you need. Smaller 24VDC options include the Command Access PS1 at 1 amp, the PS204/204B at 2A with battery backup, and the SDC 634 at 4 amps with dual voltage selection. Go with the AL1024ULX when you are feeding a large door count, a camera run, or a fire alarm load off one cabinet.
15) Is there an enclosed power supply comparable to the Altronix AL1024ULX from another brand?
Yes. The AL1024ULX comes with its enclosure, charger and single fused output as a package. The Locknetics LP Series is also supplied with an enclosure, offered in 150 and 250 amp versions. If the supply is tied to a proprietary access control kit, the Aiphone AC-PS1250 is a UL Listed 12V DC 5A supply for AC Series access control kits.
16) I have a 120VAC feed - is the AL1024ULX the right input, or is there a dual-input alternative?
The AL1024ULX takes a 115VAC 60Hz input at 4.2A and converts it to a single 24VDC output. Peers in the same line-voltage class include the ROFU 9102, offered as 9102-12D UL and 9102-24D with a 10/120VAC 60Hz input, and the BEST PS161-6 with a 120V input and 12/24V output. Confirm the branch circuit voltage against the unit you select.
17) Is the AL1024ULX rated for commercial installs?
Yes, it is a commercial-grade unit, and the 115VAC 60Hz at 4.2A input is a standard North American 120V branch circuit feed. Plan for a dedicated unswitched circuit to the cabinet.
18) Is the Altronix AL1024ULX linear or switching, and does that matter against the alternatives?
Among the alternatives the topology is stated differently by brand. The Command Access PS1, PS204/204B and PS210 are described as linear power supplies, while the Securitron AQD1, AQL4 and AQS1210 are switching power supplies. Linear units are often specified where low electrical noise matters to the connected device; switching units are chosen for efficiency at higher current. Check the connected device's requirement before substituting one topology for the other against the 24VDC 10A capacity you are replacing.
