Altronix ALTV248 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How many cameras can I run off an ALTV248, and how much current do I actually have?
Eight fuse protected outputs total, with a shared budget of 4A at 24VAC or 3.5A at 28VAC. That is the whole supply, not per output, so add up the draw of every camera and heater on it and stay under the rating. Heaters and blowers eat that budget fast, so on a housing-heavy run you will get fewer than eight devices on one unit.
2) Can I use the ALTV248 to power maglocks or electric strikes?
Not the typical way. The ALTV248 is an AC output supply built for CCTV cameras, heaters and video accessories. Most maglocks and electric strikes on an access control job want filtered DC. For those, look at a DC unit such as the Von Duprin PS902 (2A, 12/24VDC field selectable) or the SDC 634 Series 4 amp regulated and filtered supply.
3) If cameras need 12 or 24VDC instead of AC, what should be used in place of the Altronix ALTV248?
The ALTV248 distributes 24VAC or 28VAC through eight fuse protected outputs, so it suits AC powered cameras, heaters and video accessories rather than DC loads. For a DC device, the Securitron AQL4 is a switching power supply rated 12/24VDC at 4/3 amps, and the SDC 634 Series is a 4 amp regulated and filtered low voltage supply with dual voltage selection. Confirm on the camera or lock label whether the input is AC or DC before choosing.
4) What is a DC alternative that still gives eight separate outputs like the Altronix ALTV248?
The ALTV248 has eight fuse protected outputs on 24VAC or 28VAC. If the same multi-drop layout is needed on DC, the RCI DKPS-2A is a power supply with 8 outputs at 12/24VDC and 2 amps total. The difference is output type and total current, so total DC load on all eight drops has to stay inside the 2 amp budget.
5) What input power does the ALTV248 need at the wall?
Standard 115VAC 50/60Hz at 0.9A, so it lands on an ordinary 120V branch circuit. It is a wall mount unit and ships in its own grey enclosure, so no separate can to buy.
6) Do I choose 24VAC or 28VAC on the ALTV248, and why would I use 28?
Both are available from the same unit: 24VAC at 4A or 28VAC at 3.5A. The higher tap gives you headroom for voltage drop on long camera runs so the device still sees roughly 24VAC at the far end. Note you trade half an amp of capacity for it.
7) If one camera shorts out, does the whole ALTV248 go down?
Each of the eight outputs is individually fuse protected, so a fault on one camera circuit drops that output rather than taking the other seven with it. That is the practical reason to spread cameras across outputs instead of paralleling several on one.
8) I need eight outputs but my devices are DC. What is the closest alternative to the ALTV248?
The RCI DKPS-2A also carries eight outputs but runs 12/24VDC at 2A for access control systems. Same idea of distributing to multiple devices, different output type and a smaller current budget, so check your total DC load against that 2A before you swap.
9) Does the ALTV248 come with battery backup?
No. It is an AC wall mount distribution supply in a grey enclosure with eight fused outputs and nothing more. If the cameras have to ride through a power loss, you need a backed up unit such as the Adams Rite PS-1 (12/24VDC with battery backup) or the Command Access PS204/204B (2A at 24VDC with battery backup), or a UPS ahead of the ALTV248.
10) Is there a smaller option than the Altronix ALTV248 for powering a single device?
The ALTV248 is sized for multiple loads, with 4A at 24VAC spread over eight fuse protected outputs. For one low draw device, the ROFU 9126T is a plug in mini power supply at 12VDC/1.5A with time delay, the Command Access PS1 Series is a 24VDC linear supply with 1 amp output, and the Securitron AQD1 is a 12/24VDC 1 amp switching supply. Those are DC outputs, so they are single device alternatives only where the load is DC.
11) What looks like a substitute for the Altronix ALTV248 but will not do the same job?
Two to watch. The ROFU 10305-LA/10306-LA is a power transfer hinge rated 1.5A at 42V, a way to carry power through the door rather than a supply, so it does not replace the ALTV248 and may be used alongside it. The Command Access CAT Field Tester is a portable 12-24VDC unit that runs on DeWalt, Makita and Milwaukee batteries for bench and field testing, not a permanent wall mount source. The ALTV248 itself is a wall mount unit supplied with its enclosure and eight fused outputs.
12) Which alternatives to the Altronix ALTV248 are described as UL listed for access control use?
The Altronix ALTV248 runs on 115VAC 50/60Hz input at 0.9A and is a commercial grade unit for CCTV, fire alarm and POIP work. Where a UL reference is needed in the submittal, the Aiphone AC-PS1250 is a UL listed 12VDC 5A supply for AC Series access control kits, and the Command Access PS210 is a UL 6E/CSA linear supply with 1.5A at 24VDC and boost circuitry. Both are DC output units.
13) Is the ALTV248 only for CCTV, or can it feed fire alarm and PoIP gear?
Altronix lists it for general use, CCTV, fire alarm and PoIP applications as well as camera power. It is a commercial grade unit, so it fits institutional and MRO standardization across a building rather than a residential one-off.
14) What alternatives to the Altronix ALTV248 allow selecting between two output voltages?
The ALTV248 can be set to distribute either 24VAC or 28VAC across its eight fuse protected outputs. On the DC side, the SDC 620 Series at 1 amp, SDC 631 Series at 1.5 amps, SDC 632 Series at 2 amps and SDC 634 Series at 4 amps are all regulated and filtered low voltage units with dual voltage selection, and the Von Duprin PS902 is field selectable for 12 or 24VDC at 2A.
15) Does the Altronix ALTV248 come with an enclosure, and which comparable supplies are also boxed?
Yes, the ALTV248 ships with a grey wall mount enclosure and its eight fused outputs. Among the alternatives, the Locknetics LP Series is offered with an enclosure, and the Securitron BPSS is a boxed solar power supply for sites without a convenient 115VAC feed, which the ALTV248 requires at 50/60Hz and 0.9A.
