Detex 10-800 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can one Detex 10-800 controller run two doors, or do I need a unit per opening?
One 10-800 handles up to two doors. It covers standard egress, delayed egress, and interlock (mantrap) setups from a single controller, so a pair of vestibule doors or two delayed egress exits can share one box. That is the main reason to pick it over a plain power supply, which only pushes current and has no logic behind it.
2) How much current does the Detex 10-800 deliver, and can it run 12V devices as well as 24V?
It delivers at least 2A of DC power at the door, with field-selectable dual voltage at 12 or 24VDC. There is also a 9VDC, 100mA terminal tap for low-draw accessories. Add up the inrush and holding current of every strike, mag lock, or latch retraction device you intend to hang on it before you commit, because 2A is the ceiling.
3) Will the Detex 10-800 keep my doors powered during an outage?
There is a standard battery backup and charging circuit built in, good for up to 4 hours of uninterrupted operation. The battery itself is not included, so order it separately as part of the job.
4) Does the Detex 10-800 tie into the building fire alarm for delayed egress release?
Yes. The controller offers multiple fire alarm relay input options so the installation can be wired to meet the life safety code that applies to the building. Relays can be configured wet or dry depending on what the alarm panel or access control head end expects.
5) Is the Detex 10-800 overkill if I just need power for one electric strike?
Probably, yes. The logic side of the 10-800 exists to run delayed egress, interlock, and two-door sequencing. For one strike that just needs clean DC, a straight regulated supply is the simpler buy: the SDC 620 Series gives 1 amp with dual voltage selection, the SDC 632 Series gives 2 amps, and the Von Duprin PS902 is a 2A field-selectable 12/24VDC base supply. Step up to the 10-800 when you need the control logic, not just the current.
6) What if 2 amps isn't enough for my delayed egress devices?
Then look higher up the current range. The BEST PS161-6 is built for delayed egress exit devices with 120V input, 12/24V output and 6A of capacity. For motorized latch retraction, which draws a heavy inrush, the BEST RPSMLR2 is the purpose-built supply. If you need multiple protected outputs from one large enclosure, the Altronix AL1024ULACMCB runs 24VDC at 10A across 8 PTC outputs.
7) What is the closest equivalent to a Detex 10-800 controller from another brand at the same 2 amp, 12/24VDC output with battery backup?
The Von Duprin PS902 base power supply is the nearest match on the electrical side: it is a 2A 12/24VDC field selectable supply for access control. The Detex 10-800 also delivers at least 2A of DC power at the door with dual voltage selection of 12 or 24VDC and a standard battery backup charging circuit for up to 4 hours. The Command Access PS204/204B is another 2A at 24VDC linear supply with battery backup. The difference is the logic: the 10-800 is a universal logic controller that takes input from switches, access control systems, or any dry contact device and processes it into a desired output, handling up to two doors including standard egress, delayed egress, and interlock, where the PS902 and PS204/204B are supplies you would pair with separate control logic.
8) I only need to power a single electric strike, not run delayed egress logic. What is a simpler option than the Detex 10-800?
For a single device with no logic requirement, a plain regulated supply is the simpler route. The SDC 620 Series is a 1 amp regulated and filtered low voltage supply with dual voltage selection, and the SDC 632 Series is the 2 amp version of the same family. The Securitron AQD1 is a 12/24 VDC 1 amp switching supply, and the Adams Rite PS-1 is a 1 amp 12/24 volt DC regulated supply with battery backup. The Detex 10-800 adds what those do not have: universal logic that accepts input from switches, access control systems, or any dry contact device, control of up to two doors, multiple fire alarm relay input options, and wet or dry relay configurations. If none of that is needed on the opening, the added control stages go unused.
9) The Detex 10-800 tops out around 2 amps. What should I use when the load is bigger than that?
The Detex 10-800 provides at least 2A of DC power at the door. When the connected load exceeds that, step up in current rather than in logic. The SDC 634 Series is a 4 amp regulated and filtered low voltage supply with dual voltage selection, and the Securitron AQL4 is a 12/24VDC switching supply rated 4/3 amp. The BEST PS161-6 is a 120V input, 12/24V output supply with 6A capacity intended for delayed egress exit devices. For large multi-door distribution, the Altronix AL1024ULACMCB takes 115VAC 60Hz input at 4.2A and puts out 24VDC at 10A across 8 PTC outputs, and the Securitron AQS1210 is a 12 VDC 10 amp switching supply.
10) Will the Detex 10-800 accept a signal from my existing card reader or access control panel?
It takes input from switches, an access control system, or any dry contact device and converts that into the output the hardware needs. So a reader relay, a push button, a motion sensor, or a request-to-exit contact all work as triggers, which is what makes it a logic controller rather than just a transformer in a box.
11) What comes in the box with the Detex 10-800, and what do I still need to buy?
The 10-800 ships as an integrated unit: back box, transformer, and the Series 800 electronics together. Wire to 120VAC line power. You still need the backup battery, and the locking or exit hardware itself along with any switches or readers feeding the inputs.
12) I need multiple switched outputs to feed several doors. Is the Detex 10-800 the right choice?
The 10-800 is built around two-door logic, not output distribution. If what you actually need is one supply feeding several openings, the RCI DKPS-2A gives 8 outputs at 12/24VDC and 2A, and the Altronix AL1024ULACMCB gives 8 PTC outputs at 24VDC and 10A. Use the Detex when the egress sequencing matters; use a multi-output board when you are just splitting power.
13) What do I set on the Detex 10-800 at commissioning?
Two configuration decisions get made in the field: the 12 or 24VDC output selection, which has to match the connected hardware, and whether the relays run wet or dry depending on what the alarm panel or access system expects. Set both before restoring power, then test normal operation, the alarm functions, and the handoff to any connected system.
14) Can I run motorized latch retraction exit devices off a Detex 10-800?
Motorized latch retraction has an inrush demand that is normally served by a supply built for it. The BEST RPSMLR2 Series is a power supply specifically for motorized latch retraction exit devices, and the Command Access PS210 is a UL 6E/CSA linear supply with 1.5A at 24VDC and boost circuitry. The Detex 10-800 is specified at least 2A of DC power at the door with dual voltage selection of 12 or 24VDC, and its role is universal logic control taking input from switches, access control, or any dry contact device for up to two doors. For an MLR device, size the supply against the device manufacturer's current requirement first and use an MLR-rated supply where one is called for.
15) How does the Detex 10-800 compare with an RCI DKPS-2A for a multi-door access control job?
The RCI DKPS-2A is a power supply with 8 outputs at 12/24VDC, 2A, for access control systems, so it distributes one supply across many devices. The Detex 10-800 delivers at least 2A of DC power at the door with 12/24VDC selection plus a 9VDC 100mA output terminal tap, and it manages applications for up to two doors, including standard egress, delayed egress, and interlock. The DKPS-2A is the choice when you need many protected outputs from a single point; the 10-800 is the choice when two doors need decision logic, fire alarm relay input options, and a battery backup circuit for up to 4 hours.
16) Which of the access control power products look like substitutes for the Detex 10-800 but are not?
A few items in the same aisle serve different jobs. The ROFU 10305-LA/10306-LA is a power transfer hinge rated 1.5A at 42V, which carries power through the door rather than generating or controlling it. The Command Access CAT Field Tester is a portable 12-24VDC bench and field test supply that runs on DeWalt, Makita, and Milwaukee batteries, used to verify hardware, not to power an installed opening. The ROFU 9126T is a plug-in mini supply, 12 VDC at 1.5A with time delay, and the Securitron BPSS is a boxed solar power supply for sites without line power. The Detex 10-800 is a hardwired 120VAC/24VDC unit with back box, transformer, and Series 800 electronics in one assembly, providing at least 2A at the door plus logic for up to two doors.
17) I need a UL listed supply for a card reader kit. Is the Detex 10-800 the right pick or should I look at the Aiphone AC-PS1250?
The Aiphone AC-PS1250 is a 12V DC 5A UL Listed supply made for Aiphone AC Series access control kits, so it is the straightforward answer when the kit it belongs to is what you are installing. The Detex 10-800 is a universal logic controller that receives input from switches, access control systems, or any dry contact device and processes it into the desired output, with at least 2A of DC power at the door, 12 or 24VDC selection, and multiple fire alarm relay input options for life safety code compliance. Choose the 10-800 where the reader is one input among several and the opening needs egress, delayed egress, or interlock logic; choose the AC-PS1250 where you are simply powering the matching Aiphone kit.
18) Is the Detex 10-800 suitable for a residential or light-duty install?
It is a commercial-rated electronic access control product, sized for schools, healthcare, government buildings, industrial monitoring, and multi-tenant residential. For a single residential opening the cost and the wiring complexity are not justified; a small plug-in supply like the ROFU 9126T mini power supply at 12VDC, 1.5A with time delay covers that kind of job.
19) How hard is the Detex 10-800 to troubleshoot after it's installed?
It is laid out for service: central terminal connections, labeled circuits, status LED indicators, and an On/Off switch so a tech can kill the unit without pulling the branch circuit. Inline fuse protection guards the board against surges. Detex publishes installation instruction sheets for the 80-800 and 90-800 assemblies with the wiring diagrams a maintenance crew will want on file.
20) What is the difference between the Detex 10-800 and a control module like the BEST ELR150?
The BEST ELR150 Series is a power supply control module for electronic access control, and the Locknetics LP Series is an enclosed power supply offered in 150 and 250 configurations. The Detex 10-800 arrives as one integrated unit with back box, transformer, and Series 800 electronics, so the enclosure, transformer, and logic are not separate purchases. It also carries a standard battery backup and charging circuit for up to 4 hours of uninterrupted operation, with the battery sold separately, along with central terminal connections, labeled circuits, status LED indicators, an On/Off switch, and inline fuse protection.
21) For a facility standardizing on one supply across several openings, how does the Detex 10-800 stack up against the SDC 631 and 632?
The SDC 631 Series is a 1.5 amp regulated and filtered DC power controller with dual voltage selection and the SDC 632 Series is the 2 amp regulated and filtered low voltage supply with dual voltage selection, so both give a consistent 12/24VDC platform you can repeat door to door. The Detex 10-800 also offers 12/24VDC dual voltage selection with at least 2A at the door, and adds a 9VDC 100mA output terminal tap, control of up to two doors per unit, fire alarm relay input options for life safety code compliance, and a 4 hour battery backup circuit. On a campus where some openings are delayed egress or interlocked and others are simple electric strikes, the 10-800 covers the controlled openings while a 631 or 632 covers the plain ones.
22) I need a 24VDC only supply for one opening. Does the Command Access PS1 cover it instead of a Detex 10-800?
The Command Access PS1 Series is a 24VDC linear power supply with 1 amp output, which suits a single low-draw 24 volt device on one opening. The Detex 10-800 is built for a broader job: dual voltage selection of 12 or 24VDC, at least 2A of DC power at the door, a 9VDC 100mA output terminal tap, and universal input from switches, access control systems, or any dry contact device across up to two doors. If the opening will only ever be a single 24 volt device with no logic and no battery backup requirement, the PS1 is the narrower fit.
