Securitron AQL102-B100R8E1 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How much load can the Securitron AQL102 power supply actually carry at 12 VDC?
The AQL102 puts out 10 amps at 12 VDC, which is what sizes the job. Budget your locks against that: a bank of maglocks or electric strikes each drawing a fraction of an amp adds up fast, and you want headroom left over rather than running the supply at its ceiling. Input is 120 or 230 VAC, and the unit runs up to 91 percent efficiency, so it does not dump much heat into the closet.
2) I need 24 volt locks on part of the system. Can the Securitron AQL102 run both 12 and 24 VDC?
Only with the B100 module added. On its own the AQL102 is a single voltage 12 VDC supply; order it with the Secondary Voltage Module option (Yes - B100) and it will give you 12 VDC or 24 VDC. That is an order-time choice, so decide before you buy if any of your hardware is 24 volt. The board also uses dual-color LED notification (green for 12 V, blue for 24 V) so an installer can see at a glance which voltage a circuit is set to before landing wires on a lock.
3) How many door outputs can I get out of a Securitron AQL102, and how do I order them?
Up to 16 outputs in the standard enclosure. You get there with R8 power relay modules, ordered on the unit: R8 for one module, 2R8 for two, or 3R8 for three. Each module adds a bank of outputs, so pick the count against how many openings that panel has to feed. If you buy the board with no relay module, you are running the main output only.
4) Does the Securitron AQL102 come with an enclosure or is it just the board?
Both ways. Order it as Board Only with no enclosure if you are mounting into a rack, an existing can, or a cabinet you already have on the wall, or order Board with E1 Enclosure for a complete wall-mount unit. Every relay module and B100 combination is offered either way, so the enclosure choice does not limit which options you can add.
5) Will the AQL102 drop my maglocks on a fire alarm signal?
Yes, it has an integrated Fire Alarm Interface. The FAI will shut down the main output, or, when R8 output modules are fitted, disconnect on a per output basis. That per-output behavior is the reason to spec R8 modules on a mixed building: you can release the doors on the alarmed circuit and leave the rest of the access control powered instead of killing the whole panel.
6) What happens to the doors if the building loses power, and does the AQL102 charge batteries?
On AC loss the unit auto-switches to battery instantly, so locks and readers stay up. Battery charging runs on its own dedicated fast charger circuit, which Securitron calls LockSafe, keeping the charging load off the lock output so the locks run cooler. A low battery cutoff disconnects before the batteries go into deep discharge, which is what usually kills a set of standby batteries early. Batteries themselves are a separate purchase.
7) What do I have to decide before ordering a Securitron AQL102?
Three things, and all three are set at order time. Enclosure: board only, or board with the E1 enclosure. Power relay modules: none, R8, 2R8, or 3R8, which sets how many outputs you end up with, up to 16. Secondary voltage: with or without the B100, which is the only way to get 24 VDC out of the unit. Adding an R8 module is also what unlocks per-output fire alarm disconnect, so if you need doors to release by zone, do not order the board bare.
8) What can I use instead of a Securitron AQL102 if I only need to power one or two electric strikes?
A small single-door supply covers that load. The Command Access PS204/204B is a linear power supply rated 2A at 24VDC with battery backup, and the RCI DKPS-2A delivers 12/24VDC at 2A across 8 outputs for access control systems. The Securitron AQL102 is built for a different scale, providing 10 Amps at 12VDC and expandable up to 16 outputs, so it suits a riser feeding a full bank of doors rather than a single opening.
9) What is the difference between the Securitron AQL102 and the Von Duprin PS902?
The Von Duprin PS902 is a base power supply rated 2A, field selectable for 12 or 24 VDC, for access control. The Securitron AQL102 carries 10 Amps at 12VDC, expands to 16 outputs, and includes an integrated Fire Alarm Interface for main output shutdown or per-output disconnect when R8 output modules are used, with one, two, or three R8 modules offered.
10) Can I monitor a Securitron AQL power supply over the network instead of walking to the closet?
With the optional Netlink module, yes. That adds AC line voltage monitoring, remote battery monitoring and testing, email fault reporting, and 1000 event data recording. For a campus or a multi-site portfolio that is the difference between finding out a battery string is dead during an outage and finding out the week it starts to fail. Without Netlink the unit still runs, you just check it locally.
11) Is the Securitron AQL102 UL listed for commercial access control work?
It is UL listed, and Securitron publishes both a UL certification and a CE Declaration of Conformity for the AQL power supplies. The unit also carries a mix and match UL listing, meaning the modular options can be combined without falling outside the listing, and the auxiliary output is Class 2 power limited. It is a commercial-rated product, not a residential one.
12) Is a 10 amp power supply overkill for two or three doors?
Usually, yes. The AQL102 is sized at 10 amps at 12 VDC for a panel feeding many openings. For one or two doors there are far smaller supplies: the Von Duprin PS902 base power supply is 2A and field selectable 12/24 VDC, the RCI DKPS-2A gives 8 outputs at 12/24VDC and 2A, and the SDC 620 Series is a 1 amp regulated supply with dual voltage selection. Buy the AQL102 when you want one large supply with expansion room and battery backup rather than several small ones scattered through the building.
13) What else could I use instead of a Securitron AQL102 if I need 24 volts at high amperage?
The Altronix AL1024ULACMCB is the closest peer for a large 24 volt job: it is a power supply and access power controller with 115VAC 60Hz input at 4.2A, eight PTC outputs, and 24VDC at 10A in a grey enclosure. The AQL102 reaches 24 VDC only when the B100 secondary voltage module is added, so if the whole system is 24 volt from the start the Altronix is a direct fit. If the system is mostly 12 volt with a few 24 volt devices, the AQL102 with B100 handles both from one board.
14) Can I use an SDC 634 in place of a Securitron AQL102?
They serve different load sizes. The SDC 634 is a 4 Amp regulated and filtered low voltage power supply with dual voltage selection, and the SDC 632 is the 2 Amp version of the same family. The Securitron AQL102 supplies 10 Amps and is a switching supply with a dedicated fast battery charger, so it is the choice when the connected lock load exceeds what a 4 Amp supply can carry.
15) Does a plug-in transformer like the ROFU 9126T do the same job as a Securitron AQL102?
No. The ROFU 9126T is a plug in mini power supply rated 12 VDC at 1.5A with time delay, sized for a single device at an outlet. The Securitron AQL102 is a hardwired 12VDC unit at 10 Amps taking 120 or 230 VAC input, with battery backup that auto-switches on AC loss and low battery cutoff, which is what a supervised access control installation calls for.
16) I want network monitoring on my power supply - what else offers that besides the Securitron AQL102?
Among access control power products, the Securitron AQL102 is the one built around it: it is network monitoring ready with an optional Netlink module, records 1000 events, monitors AC line voltage, tests batteries remotely, and reports faults by email. Units like the SDC 631, a 1.5 Amp regulated and filtered DC power controller with dual voltage selection, and the Adams Rite PS-1, a 1 Amp regulated supply at 12/24 volts DC with battery backup, are standalone supplies without that reporting layer.
17) Is the Command Access CAT Field Tester a substitute for a permanent power supply like the Securitron AQL102?
It is not. The Command Access CAT Field Tester is a portable 12-24VDC power supply that runs on DeWalt, Makita and Milwaukee batteries, intended for bench and field checks of a device. The Securitron AQL102 is a permanently installed commercial 12VDC 10 Amp switching supply that is UL listed and available as a board only or with the E1 enclosure.
18) Is a ROFU 9102 power supply the same thing as a Securitron AQL102?
The part numbers look alike but the units are not. The ROFU 9102 comes as the 9102-12D UL and 9102-24D with 10/120VAC 60Hz input. The Securitron AQL102 is a 12VDC 10 Amp switching supply taking 120 or 230 VAC input, field selectable, with LockSafe dedicated battery charging and OutSmart dual-color LED voltage indication, green for 12 V and blue for 24 V.
19) For a small access control kit, is there a simpler UL listed supply than the Securitron AQL102?
The Aiphone AC-PS1250 is a UL listed 12V DC 5A power supply for AC Series access control kits, which fits a packaged small system. The Securitron AQL102 is also UL listed but sized at 10 Amps at 12VDC with battery backup, expandable outputs, and mix and match UL listing across modules for larger builds.
20) Will a Securitron AQL power supply survive a hot mechanical room or an unconditioned space?
Rated for operation from 0 to 49 degrees C. That covers a normal electrical or telecom closet and most mechanical rooms, but it is not an outdoor or unheated-garage rating in a cold climate. If the panel location swings below freezing, put it inside conditioned space and run the wire out to the doors.
21) What should I use if I need logic and door control, not just power, alongside a Securitron AQL102?
The Detex 10-800 is a universal logic controller with a 120VAC/24VDC power supply and battery backup, and the BEST ELR150 is a power supply control module for electronic access control. The Securitron AQL102 handles distribution and supervision on the power side, feeding 10 Amps at 12VDC to as many as 16 outputs with R8 relay modules adding per-output fire alarm disconnect.
