Detex 83800 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How many doors will a Detex 83-800 power supply run?
The 83-800 controller and power supply powers and controls ER (electric latch retraction) devices on 2 independent doors, and it also provides signal output for 2 automatic door operators. So one unit covers a vestibule or a pair of separately controlled openings without a second box on the wall.
2) What voltage and current does the Detex 800 Series 83-800 put out?
It takes 120VAC in and converts it to regulated, filtered 24VDC. Continuous output is 2.0A. Add up the inrush and holding current of both latch retraction devices before you commit to it, because latch retraction draws hard on actuation.
3) Will the Detex 83-800 work with my electric latch retraction exit devices?
It is built for Detex latch retraction exit devices ordered with the ER (Electrified) option. That is the pairing Detex states. For other brands of motorized latch retraction, match the power supply to that manufacturer instead, such as the BEST RPSMLR2 series made for motorized latch retraction devices.
4) Does the Detex 800 Series power supply have battery backup?
A battery charging circuit is built in as standard, so the unit will maintain batteries for backup during an outage. The batteries themselves are not included and have to be ordered separately.
5) I only need to power one electrified device, not two doors. Is there a smaller power supply than the Detex 83-800?
Yes. The Detex 83-800 is sized at 2A continuous and controls ER devices for 2 independent doors, which is more capacity and more control channels than a single device needs. Smaller options include the Command Access PS1 Series, a 24VDC linear supply with 1 amp output; the SDC 620 Series 1 amp regulated and filtered low voltage supply with dual voltage selection; the SDC 631 Series at 1.5 amp; the Command Access PS210 at 1.5A 24VDC with boost circuitry; the Adams Rite PS-1 regulated supply at 1 amp 12/24VDC with battery backup; and the Securitron AQD1 switching supply at 12/24VDC 1 amp.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the Detex 83-800 power supply from another brand at the same 2 amp output?
The Detex 83-800 is a 2A continuous 24VDC controller and power supply. Comparable 2 amp units include the Von Duprin PS902 base power supply, rated 2A at 12/24VDC field selectable for access control; the Command Access PS204/204B linear power supply at 2A 24VDC with battery backup; the SDC 632 Series 2 amp regulated and filtered low voltage power supply with dual voltage selection; and the RCI DKPS-2A, 12/24VDC at 2A with 8 outputs. The Detex differs in that it is built to power and control ER latch retraction devices on 2 independent doors with signal output for 2 operators, so the 2 amp rating alone is not the whole comparison.
7) What should I use instead of the Detex 83-800 if I need to power more than two doors or a larger bank of devices?
The Detex 83-800 tops out at 2.0A continuous and is arranged for 2 independent doors. For larger loads, the SDC 634 Series is a 4 amp regulated and filtered low voltage supply with dual voltage selection, the Securitron AQL4 is a switching supply at 12/24VDC 4/3 amp, the BEST PS161-6 is a 120V input, 12/24V output unit with 6A capacity, the Altronix AL1024ULACMCB provides 24VDC at 10A across 8 PTC outputs from a 115VAC 60Hz input, and the Securitron AQS1210 is a 12VDC 10 amp switching supply. Note the AQS1210 is 12VDC only, so it will not substitute where 24VDC is required.
8) Is there another power supply built specifically for motorized or electric latch retraction exit devices like the Detex 83-800 is?
The Detex 83-800 is a logic and power supply controller that powers and controls ER latch retraction exit devices on 2 independent doors. Two peers are built for the same duty: the BEST RPSMLR2 Series power supply for motorized latch retraction exit devices, and the BEST ELR150 Series power supply control module for electronic access control. The Detex unit adds a standard signal output for 2 automatic door operators, which matters when the exit devices are paired with operators on the same openings.
9) Which items look like alternatives to the Detex 83-800 but will not actually replace it?
A few nearby parts are not substitutes. The ROFU 10305-LA/10306-LA is a tamper resistant power transfer hinge rated 1.5A at 42V - it carries power through the door, it does not generate it. 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 rather than permanent installation. The ROFU 9126T is a plug in mini power supply at 12VDC 1.5A with time delay, which is 12VDC only and will not serve a 24VDC ER device. The Detex 83-800 is a hardwired 120VAC to 24VDC controller with 2.0A continuous output and control logic for 2 doors.
10) Can I use the Detex 83-800 to trigger an automatic door operator?
Yes. Signal output for 2 operators is standard on the 83-800, so the same unit that retracts the latch can hand off the open signal to a low energy operator. That is what makes it usable for a push-button accessible entry where the latch has to pull before the door swings.
11) What is the difference between the Detex 81-800 and the 83-800?
They are different controllers in the same 800 Series family, and Detex publishes separate installation instructions for each: one document covers the 81-800, a second covers the 82-800 and 83-800 together. The 83-800 is the 2.0A continuous unit handling ER devices on 2 doors with operator signal for 2 openings. Work from the 82-800/83-800 instruction sheet when wiring this one.
12) The Detex 83-800 outputs 24VDC. Which comparable supplies can be set to either 12 or 24 volts?
The Detex 83-800 converts 120VAC to regulated and filtered 24VDC. If a job mixes 12V and 24V devices, field selectable or dual voltage peers include the Von Duprin PS902 at 2A 12/24VDC field selectable, the SDC 620, 631, 632 and 634 Series regulated and filtered supplies with dual voltage selection at 1, 1.5, 2 and 4 amps respectively, the RCI DKPS-2A at 12/24VDC 2A, and the Securitron AQD1 at 12/24VDC 1 amp.
13) Does the Detex 83-800 need a separate battery backup unit, or do any comparable supplies include batteries?
The Detex 83-800 has a battery charging circuit built in as standard, with batteries purchased separately. Among the comparables, the Adams Rite PS-1 is a 1 amp 12/24VDC regulated supply with battery backup and the Command Access PS204/204B is a 2A 24VDC linear supply with battery backup, so those are the closest matches if standby power is part of the spec. The Securitron BPSS is a boxed solar power supply, a different approach for openings without reliable line power.
14) My specification calls for a UL listed access control power supply. Which comparable units state a listing or grade?
Among the comparables, the Aiphone AC-PS1250 is described as UL listed, a 12V DC 5A supply for AC Series access control kits; the Command Access PS210 is a UL 6E/CSA linear supply at 1.5A 24VDC with boost circuitry; the ROFU 9102-12D is offered as a UL unit with 10/120VAC 60Hz input; and the Von Duprin PS902 is a Grade 1 2A 12/24VDC field selectable base power supply. If the spec also requires 24VDC control of latch retraction on two openings, the Detex 83-800 remains the closest functional match at 2A continuous 24VDC.
15) I need multiple protected output circuits off one supply. Is the Detex 83-800 the right choice or is there a better option?
The Detex 83-800 is organized around 2 independent doors with signal output for 2 operators rather than a large output bank. Where a job calls for many distributed circuits, the Altronix AL1024ULACMCB combines a power supply and access power controller with 8 PTC outputs at 24VDC 10A from a 115VAC 60Hz input, and the RCI DKPS-2A provides 8 outputs at 12/24VDC 2A. Those spread power across more points; the Detex adds the ER latch retraction control logic those units do not describe.
16) What is the alternative to the Detex 83-800 for delayed egress exit device power?
The Detex 83-800 is a 2.0A continuous 24VDC controller for ER latch retraction devices on 2 doors. For delayed egress hardware specifically, the BEST PS161-6 is a power supply for delayed egress exit devices with 120V input, 12/24V output and 6A capacity, which also gives considerably more headroom than the 2.0A Detex unit if several delayed egress openings share one supply.
17) Is the Detex 800 Series power supply suitable for a commercial building, or is it a residential unit?
It is a commercial-duty unit. Detex lists the 800 Series controller as commercial, and the typical placements are retail loss prevention, healthcare and school egress doors, industrial monitoring, and multi-door access control where a pair of controlled openings share one power source.
18) What do I need to check on the electrical side before installing a Detex 83-800?
Confirm you have a 120VAC feed with enough circuit capacity to support the 2.0A continuous output, then kill power before you open the unit. Mount it with clearance for wiring access, ventilation, and later service, and wire it per the Detex diagrams using gauge appropriate to a two-door run. Batteries for the charging circuit are a separate order, so plan for those if the site needs backup.
