Altronix AL600ULACMCB – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can one Altronix AL600ULACMCB run both fail-safe mag locks and fail-secure electric strikes on the same job?
Yes. The AL600ULACMCB gives you eight independently controlled outputs, and each one can be set to fail-safe or fail-secure. So mag locks on some doors and electric strikes on others run off the same board, with 6A of continuous supply current shared across all eight. It also feeds magnetic door holders and similar access hardware.
2) How many doors will a 6 amp Altronix AL600ULACMCB actually support?
Eight outputs is the hard ceiling on door count, but the real limit is current: all eight share 6A total at 12 or 24VDC. Add up the holding current of every lock you intend to hang on it and stay under 6A. Mag locks draw considerably more than strikes, so a board that handles eight strikes may only handle a handful of mag locks.
3) Does the AL600ULACMCB drop the locks on a fire alarm signal?
It has an FACP interface for emergency egress, and the fire alarm disconnect is individually selectable per output, all eight or only the ones you choose. That means you can release the mag locks on egress doors while leaving a fail-secure strike or an auxiliary device powered through the alarm. The same interface can be used for alarm monitoring or to trigger other auxiliary devices.
4) I only need to power one or two doors. Is the AL600ULACMCB overkill?
For a single opening it is. Eight outputs at 6A is a multi-door head-end. For one or two doors look at a small regulated supply like the SDC 620 Series at 1 amp, the Command Access PS1 at 1A 24VDC, or the Von Duprin PS902 base supply at 2A 12/24VDC field selectable. Step up to the AL600ULACMCB when you need independent per-door control and fire alarm release across a group of openings.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Altronix AL600ULACMCB if I need eight controlled outputs but only smaller lock loads?
The RCI DKPS-2A is the nearest match in architecture: it is a power supply with 8 outputs at 12/24VDC rated 2A for access control systems. The AL600ULACMCB also provides eight independently controlled 12/24VDC fail-safe or fail-secure outputs, but at 6A total continuous supply current. If your eight openings are electric strikes or small mag locks that fit inside a 2A budget, the DKPS-2A covers the same output count; if the combined draw of all eight devices exceeds that, the 6A Altronix is the one to stay with.
6) Is there another 6A, 120V input power supply that can replace the Altronix AL600ULACMCB?
The BEST PS161-6 matches on the headline electrical numbers: 120V input, 12/24V output, 6A capacity. The difference is in how the power is distributed and what the unit is built around. The BEST PS161-6 is a power supply for delayed egress exit devices, while the AL600ULACMCB is an access power controller that splits its 6A across eight independently controlled fail-safe and/or fail-secure outputs, each of which can be individually selected for fire alarm disconnect through the FACP interface. Choose by whether you need the multi-output switching and per-output FACP dropout or a supply dedicated to delayed egress hardware.
7) I only have one door to power. Is the Altronix AL600ULACMCB overkill, and what is the simpler option?
For a single opening, several single-output supplies cover the same 12/24VDC range. The Securitron AQD1 is a switching power supply at 12/24 VDC 1 Amp, the SDC 620 Series is a 1 amp regulated and filtered low voltage supply with dual voltage selection, and the Von Duprin PS902 is a 2A 12/24 VDC field selectable base power supply for access control. The AL600ULACMCB earns its place when you need eight independently controlled fail-safe and/or fail-secure outputs off one 115VAC 60Hz feed rather than one circuit.
8) What triggers the outputs on an Altronix access power controller like the AL600ULACMCB?
Each output is activated by an open collector sink or a normally open dry contact. That covers the standard outputs off an access control panel, card reader, keypad, push button or PIR, so it drops in behind most controllers without an interface relay.
9) What incoming power does the AL600ULACMCB need at the panel?
115VAC 60Hz at 3.5A on the line side, so a standard 120V branch circuit. Output is field-selected 12 or 24VDC. Because the input draw is 3.5A, treat it as a dedicated circuit rather than sharing with heavy loads.
10) Can I power the board and the locks from separate supplies on the AL600ULACMCB?
Yes, and that's a design choice you make at install. As shipped it runs from one common power source (factory installed) feeding both the board logic and the locking devices. You can instead wire two fully independent sources, one for board operation and one for lock and accessory power, which keeps the controller logic alive if the lock supply is pulled down.
11) Does the Altronix AL600ULACMCB come with an enclosure and battery charger, or do I order those separately?
The enclosure (grey) and the battery charger are included, along with the eight PTC Class 2 relay outputs. Standby batteries themselves are a separate purchase. PTC outputs are self-resetting, so a shorted lock circuit doesn't leave you replacing fuses.
12) Will the AL600ULACMCB run motorized latch retraction exit devices?
Motorized latch retraction has an inrush demand that calls for a supply built for it. For MLR exit devices use a purpose-built unit such as the BEST RPSMLR2. The AL600ULACMCB is an access power controller for mag locks, electric strikes and door holders switched fail-safe or fail-secure.
13) If I need more than 6A on a single 12VDC circuit, what should I use instead of the AL600ULACMCB?
The Securitron AQS1210 is a switching power supply rated 12 VDC at 10 Amp, so it carries a larger single-voltage load than the AL600ULACMCB's 6A total. The trade is that the AL600ULACMCB delivers its current as eight independently controlled 12VDC or 24VDC outputs with fail-safe and/or fail-secure operation, so a high-amperage single-output supply will not do the per-door switching on its own.
14) Will a Command Access PS204/204B work in place of the Altronix AL600ULACMCB for a small access control job?
Only for a much smaller job. The Command Access PS204/204B is a linear power supply rated 2A at 24VDC with battery backup, so it is fixed at 24VDC and sized for a light load. The AL600ULACMCB runs 12VDC or 24VDC, totals 6A continuous, and breaks that into eight separately triggered outputs activated by an open collector sink or normally open dry contact from an access control panel, card reader, keypad, push button or PIR. If you are powering one or two 24V devices the PS204/204B is the simpler box; multi-door switching is what the Altronix is for.
15) Which of these power supplies looks like a substitute for the AL600ULACMCB but is not?
A few in the same family solve different problems. The BEST RPSMLR2 Series is a power supply for motorized latch retraction exit devices, built around the inrush those devices need. The BEST ELR150 Series is a power supply control module for electronic access control rather than a complete supply and enclosure. The Command Access CAT Field Tester is a portable 12-24VDC unit that runs off DeWalt, Makita and Milwaukee batteries, a bench and field-check tool. The ROFU 10305-LA is a power transfer hinge rated 1.5A at 42V, which moves power through the door rather than generating it. The AL600ULACMCB is a fixed-mount 115VAC-in access power controller with enclosure, charger and eight PTC Class 2 relay outputs.
16) I need battery backup on the door power. How does that change the choice against the Altronix AL600ULACMCB?
The AL600ULACMCB ships with a charger as part of the package along with the enclosure and eight PTC Class 2 relay outputs. Among comparable units, the Adams Rite PS-1 is a regulated 1 amp 12/24 volt DC supply with battery backup, the Command Access PS204/204B is 2A at 24VDC with battery backup, and the Detex 10-800 Series is a universal logic controller with a 120VAC/24VDC supply and battery backup. Those are single-circuit or controller-specific units, so the decision comes down to whether you need backup on one opening or backup behind eight independently controlled outputs.
17) Is the Altronix AL600ULACMCB suitable for a commercial building install, or is it a residential unit?
It is commercial-rated equipment, intended for professional security system installs, and is used on CCTV, fire alarm and POIP applications as well as access control. The eight Class 2 PTC relay outputs and the per-output fire alarm disconnect are features aimed at multi-door commercial and institutional openings, not a single home entry.
18) Can I use a plug-in power supply instead of a boxed unit like the Altronix AL600ULACMCB?
For one low-draw device, the ROFU 9126T is a plug-in mini power supply at 12 VDC and 1.5A with time delay, and the ROFU 9102-12D UL/9102-24D runs on 10/120VAC 60Hz input. Those are appropriate where a single strike sits near a receptacle. The AL600ULACMCB is a hardwired 115VAC 60Hz unit supplied in a grey enclosure with a charger and eight PTC Class 2 relay outputs, and it can be fed either by one common power source for both board and locks or by two independent sources, one for board operation and one for lock and accessory power.
