Detex 80800 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Detex 80-800 power supply run a 24VDC electric strike, or is it 12 volt only?
Both. The 80-800 is a field-configurable dual voltage unit, putting out either 12VDC or 24VDC regulated at 1.0A continuous. You set the voltage to match the device you're powering, so one part number covers a 12V strike or a 24V fail-safe lock. Just size the load against the 1 amp ceiling before you commit to it.
2) How many electric locks can a 1 amp Detex 800 Series power supply actually run?
One amp continuous is the hard limit, and that is what decides the answer. A single fail-safe mag lock or electric strike typically lands comfortably inside it, but a pair of high-draw locks or a device with motorized latch retraction will not. Add up the holding current of every device on the supply, and if the total is anywhere near 1.0A, step up to a larger unit rather than running this one at its ceiling.
3) Does the Detex 80-800 release fail-safe locks when the fire alarm trips?
That is exactly what the fire alarm input is for. The 80-800 carries a fire alarm input that drops power to fail-safe locks on an alarm condition, releasing the openings automatically. It only works on fail-safe hardware, though. A fail-secure strike stays locked when power drops, so tying the alarm input to fail-secure devices does nothing for egress.
4) Does the Detex 800 Series power supply include a battery, or do I order that separately?
The charging circuit is built in, the battery is not. The 80-800 has integrated battery charging circuitry with automatic low battery disconnect at 70 percent capacity, so it maintains and protects a backup battery, but you supply the battery itself as a separate line item when you order.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Detex 80-800 power supply from another brand?
The Detex 80-800 is a 1A power supply with 12 or 24VDC output and battery backup. The Adams Rite PS-1 is a regulated power supply rated 1 amp at 12/24 volts DC with battery backup, matching both the current rating and the dual-voltage selection. The Securitron AQD1 is a switching power supply at 12/24 VDC 1 amp, and the SDC 620 Series is a 1 amp regulated and filtered low voltage supply with dual voltage selection. Any of the three covers the same 1A dual-voltage duty; the AQD1 uses a switching supply where the SDC 620 and the Detex are regulated and filtered linear designs.
6) I need a power supply for a motorized latch retraction exit device - will a 1 amp unit like the Detex 80-800 do it?
Motorized latch retraction draws an inrush that a 1 amp supply is not sized for, and the Detex 80-800 is a 1A unit. The BEST RPSMLR2 Series is built specifically as a power supply for motorized latch retraction exit devices. For delayed egress exit devices, the BEST PS161-6 takes 120V input and gives 12/24V output at 6A capacity. If the requirement is boost circuitry on a smaller supply, the Command Access PS210 is a UL 6E/CSA linear supply with 1.5A at 24VDC and boost circuitry.
7) The 1 amp supply is not enough for the number of locks on my system - what should I use instead?
Step up within the same dual-voltage family. The SDC 631 Series is a 1.5 amp regulated and filtered DC power controller with dual voltage selection, the SDC 632 Series is the 2 amp version, and the SDC 634 Series is the 4 amp version. The RCI DKPS-2A gives 12/24VDC at 2A across 8 outputs for access control systems, which suits distributing power to several openings rather than feeding one. The Securitron AQL4 is a switching supply at 12/24VDC rated 4/3 amp. All keep 12/24VDC selection, so the lock voltage you already specified does not change.
8) Can I use a plug-in mini power supply or a power transfer hinge in place of the Detex 80-800?
They are different parts. The ROFU 9126T is a plug in mini power supply rated 12 VDC at 1.5A with time delay - it is 12V only and mounts as a plug-in, so it does not give the 24V option or the enclosure the Detex 80-800 provides. The ROFU 10305-LA/10306-LA is a tamper resistant power transfer hinge rated 1.5A at 42V; it carries power through the door edge and is not a supply at all, so it is installed in addition to a power supply, not instead of one. The Command Access CAT Field Tester is a portable 12-24VDC unit that runs off DeWalt, Makita and Milwaukee batteries for bench and field testing, not for permanent installation.
9) What is the difference between the Detex 80-800 and the Von Duprin PS902?
Both are field selectable 12/24 VDC supplies for access control. The Von Duprin PS902 is a base power supply rated 2A and carries a Grade 1 rating, where the Detex 80-800 is rated 1A. The PS902 is a base unit intended to take option boards for the functions layered on top of it; the Detex 80-800 comes with battery charging and a fire alarm input built into the unit. For an institutional spec that calls out Grade 1, the PS902 is the one that states it.
10) I need one power supply to feed several doors from a single enclosure - what covers that?
The Detex 80-800 delivers 1A at 12 or 24VDC for a single feed. Where the run needs to branch, the RCI DKPS-2A provides 12/24VDC at 2A across 8 outputs for access control systems, and the Altronix AL1024ULACMCB is an access power controller with 8 PTC outputs delivering 24VDC at 10A from a 115VAC 60Hz 4.2A input. The DKPS-2A keeps the 12/24V selection; the AL1024ULACMCB is 24VDC output only, so confirm the locks are 24V before specifying it.
11) I need more than 1 amp for my access control panel. What Detex or other power supply should I look at instead?
Move up in amperage rather than paralleling 1A units. Within the comparable range ZenSupply carries, the RCI DKPS-2A gives 12/24VDC at 2A across 8 outputs, the Von Duprin PS902 is a 2A 12/24VDC field-selectable base unit, and the Securitron AQL4 is a 12/24VDC switching supply at 4/3 amps. For a big multi-door panel, the Altronix AL1024ULACMCB runs 24VDC at 10A with 8 PTC outputs and built-in access power control.
12) What happens to the Detex 800 Series supply if a shorted lock takes out the circuit?
Fused protection on the circuit, and it is field-resettable, so a fault does not mean sourcing a replacement fuse or sending the unit back. You clear the short and reset it in place. There is also an LED status indicator on the unit for confirming output at a glance, and an On/Off switch so the supply can be killed for service without pulling wiring or removing the enclosure.
13) I am standardizing power supplies across a hospital or school access control system. Does the Detex 800 Series work as the standard single-door unit?
For single-opening door positions it holds up well as a standard: one part number covers both 12 and 24 volt hardware at 1.0A, it charges a backup battery, and it takes a fire alarm input for automatic release of fail-safe locks on the egress doors. Where a facility has multi-door panels or higher-draw hardware, pair it with a larger supply on those runs rather than trying to make 1 amp stretch, for example the Von Duprin PS902 at 2A or the SDC 634 Series at 4 amps.
14) My system is 24VDC only - is there a simpler power supply than the Detex 80-800?
Yes. The Detex 80-800 is field selectable for 12 or 24VDC at 1A, which is capacity you do not use on a fixed 24V system. The Command Access PS1 Series is a 24VDC linear power supply with 1 amp output, single voltage. If you want battery backup at 24V with more headroom, the Command Access PS204/204B is a linear supply with 2A at 24VDC and battery backup.
15) Which of these access control power supplies is UL listed?
The Aiphone AC-PS1250 is a UL listed 12V DC 5A supply for AC Series access control kits, and the Command Access PS210 carries UL 6E/CSA listing at 1.5A 24VDC. The Altronix AL1024ULACMCB is an access power controller with 115VAC 60Hz input at 4.2A and 24VDC at 10A across 8 PTC outputs. Note the AC-PS1250 is 12V only at 5A, so it does not cover a 24V lock the way the dual-voltage Detex 80-800 does.
16) I need power at a gate with no AC run - what do I use instead of a standard access control power supply?
A supply like the Detex 80-800 expects an AC feed to the enclosure. Where no AC is available, the Securitron BPSS is a boxed solar power supply, which sources its own power rather than being fed from building AC. For remote openings that do have AC, the ROFU 9102-12D UL/9102-24D takes 10/120VAC 60Hz input and comes in 12D and 24D versions matched to the lock voltage.
17) Is a power supply control module the same thing as the Detex 80-800?
No. The BEST ELR150 Series is a power supply control module for electronic access control - it controls and switches power rather than generating the regulated 12 or 24VDC output. The Detex 80-800 is the supply itself, producing 1A of regulated DC with battery backup and a fire alarm input. On a job that needs both control logic and a source, the ELR150 sits downstream of a supply, not in place of one. The Locknetics LP Series is offered with an enclosure, matching the boxed format of the Detex 80-800.
18) I am standardizing power supplies across a facility with both 12V and 24V locks - which units let me stock one part?
Field selectable dual-voltage units let one shelf part cover both. The Detex 80-800 is configurable 12 or 24VDC at 1A. Across brands, the Adams Rite PS-1 is 1 amp 12/24 volts DC, the Securitron AQD1 is 12/24 VDC 1 amp, and the SDC 620, 631, 632 and 634 Series all offer dual voltage selection at 1, 1.5, 2 and 4 amps respectively - so one family covers a range of load sizes with the same voltage setup. The Von Duprin PS902 is likewise 12/24 VDC field selectable at 2A.
19) Is the Detex 80-800 enclosure rated for a commercial mechanical room or back-of-house install?
It is a commercial-duty unit in an 18-gauge steel enclosure, which is what you want in a mechanical room, riser closet, or back-of-house wall where the box can take knocks. Mount it with clearance for wiring access, ventilation, and future service, and confirm your available AC feed matches before you set the box.
20) Where do I get the wiring diagram for the Detex 80-800 power supply?
Detex publishes installation instructions for the 80-800, and a separate set for the 90-800, and both are linked on the product record. They carry the wiring diagrams, terminal assignments, and the fire alarm input connections you will need at the panel. Pull the 80-800 sheet specifically, since the 90-800 is a different unit with its own document.
21) Is the Detex 80-800 a plug-in transformer or does it need to be hardwired?
It is a boxed, hardwired unit in an 18-gauge steel enclosure, installed with the AC disconnected and wired per the manufacturer diagrams. If you want something that just plugs into a receptacle for a single small load, that is a different animal, for example the ROFU 9126T plug-in mini supply at 12 VDC and 1.5A with time delay.
