Securitron AQL104-D8E1 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Securitron AQL104-D8E1 run 12V locks, or is it 24V only?
The AQL104-D8E1 is a single voltage supply putting out 24VDC at 10 amps. If your maglocks, strikes or electrified exit devices are 12V, this is the wrong unit as-is. Securitron does list a B100 module for multi-voltage operation on the AQL platform, and the OutSmart dual-color LED on the board flags voltage at a glance (green for 12V, blue for 24V) so you do not feed the wrong voltage to a device. For a straight 12V job, a dual-voltage unit like the Von Duprin PS902 (2A, 12/24 VDC field selectable) or an SDC 632 (2 amp, dual voltage selection) is the simpler pick.
2) Does this Securitron power supply drop the locks on a fire alarm signal?
Yes. The AQL104-D8E1 has an integrated Fire Alarm Interface built in, so you do not need an add-on relay board to release locks. It can shut down the main output, or drop power on a per-output basis when an R8 output module is used. That per-output behavior matters when only part of a building's locks are tied to the alarm zone.
3) How many doors can I power off one AQL104 with the D8 distribution modules?
The D8E1 configuration ships with 3 amp ATO fused power distribution modules in the E1 enclosure, and the AQL104 platform expands to 16 outputs inside the standard enclosure. With 10 amps total at 24VDC, the real limit is your load budget: add up the holding or inrush current of every lock and divide into 10 amps, then confirm no single output exceeds its 3 amp fuse.
4) What happens to the locks when the building loses AC power?
The AQL104 switches to battery instantly on AC loss, so there is no gap in lock power. It charges batteries on a dedicated fast charging circuit (Securitron calls it LockSafe), which keeps charging current off the lock output and the locks cooler. A low battery cutoff protects the batteries from deep discharge. Batteries are not part of the supply itself, so order them to suit your standby time.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Securitron AQL104-D8E1 at 24VDC 10A with multiple outputs?
The Altronix AL1024ULACMCB is the nearest match on output: it is a power supply and access power controller rated 24VDC at 10A with 8 PTC outputs, 115VAC 60Hz input at 4.2A, in a grey enclosure. The Securitron AQL104-D8E1 is also 24VDC at 10A, with an integrated fire alarm interface and expansion up to 16 outputs in the standard enclosure. The Altronix arrives with its eight outputs built in, while the AQL104 builds its output count up through distribution modules.
6) I only need to power one or two electric strikes, not a whole floor of openings. What is a smaller alternative to the AQL104-D8E1?
For a one or two device opening, a small single-supply unit is a better fit than a 10 amp multi-output panel. The Command Access PS1 is a 24VDC linear power supply with 1 amp output, and the SDC 620 Series is a 1 amp regulated and filtered low voltage supply with dual voltage selection. The Securitron AQL104-D8E1 is a 24VDC 10 amp switching supply intended to feed many outputs, so it is oversized for a single strike.
7) I need 12VDC, not 24VDC. What should I use instead of the AQL104-D8E1?
The AQL104-D8E1 is a single voltage 24VDC unit. If the devices are 12VDC, the Aiphone AC-PS1250 is a UL listed 12V DC 5A supply for AC Series access control kits, and the ROFU 9126T is a plug in mini supply at 12 VDC / 1.5A with time delay. Field selectable options include the Von Duprin PS902 at 2A 12/24 VDC and the RCI DKPS-2A with 8 outputs at 12/24VDC, 2A.
8) Can I monitor this power supply over the network and get alerts?
Network monitoring is optional on the AQL104. Add the Netlink module and you get AC line voltage monitoring, remote battery monitoring and testing, email fault reporting, and 1000 events of data logging. Without that module the unit runs as a standard supervised supply with local LED indication.
9) What AC input does the AQL104 need, and what temperature range can it sit in?
It takes 120 or 230 VAC input and runs at up to 91% efficiency, so it drops into either a North American or an international supply without a separate transformer. Operating range is 0 to 49 C. That covers a conditioned electrical room or riser closet; an unheated garage or a rooftop enclosure in a cold climate is outside it.
10) Is a 10 amp supply overkill for a couple of doors, or should I buy smaller?
For two or three strikes on one opening group, 10 amps at 24VDC is more capacity than you need and the AQL104 is sized for a riser or a full floor of openings. Smaller units in the same category include the Command Access PS1 (1 amp, 24VDC), the SDC 634 (4 amp, dual voltage), and the BEST PS161-6 (120V input, 12/24V output, 6A). Step up to the AQL104 when you want fire alarm interface, battery backup and up to 16 fused outputs from one enclosure.
11) What looks like a substitute for the AQL104-D8E1 but is not a power supply at all?
Two items in the same family are easy to mistake for supplies. The ROFU 10305-LA/10306-LA is a tamper resistant power transfer hinge rated 1.5A at 42V in a plastic white finish, which carries power through the door rather than generating it. The Command Access CAT Field Tester is a portable 12-24VDC tester that runs on DeWalt, Makita and Milwaukee batteries, used for bench and field checks. Neither replaces a 24VDC 10 amp panel like the AQL104-D8E1.
12) I need battery backup on the opening. Which alternatives to the AQL104-D8E1 include it?
The AQL104-D8E1 has a dedicated fast battery charger and switches to battery instantly on AC loss. Smaller units that also carry backup include the Adams Rite PS-1, a regulated 1 amp 12/24 volt DC supply with battery backup; the Command Access PS204/204B, a linear supply at 2A 24VDC with battery backup; and the Detex 10-800 Series universal logic controller with a 120VAC/24VDC supply and battery backup.
13) What are the mid-range options between a 1 amp supply and the 10 amp AQL104-D8E1?
Stepping down from the 24VDC 10 amp AQL104-D8E1, the SDC line covers the middle: the SDC 632 Series is a 2 amp regulated and filtered low voltage supply with dual voltage selection, and the SDC 634 Series is the 4 amp version of the same. The SDC 631 Series is a 1.5 amp regulated and filtered DC power controller, also dual voltage selectable.
14) Is a power supply control module like the BEST ELR150 an alternative to the AQL104-D8E1?
They do different jobs. The BEST ELR150 Series is a power supply control module for electronic access control, and the SDC 631 Series is a regulated DC power controller at 1.5 amps with dual voltage selection - both are control stages rather than a 10 amp source. The Securitron AQL104-D8E1 supplies 24VDC at 10 amps with an integrated fire alarm interface and expands to as many as 16 outputs in the standard enclosure, so it is the source a controller module would sit alongside.
15) Is there a boosting or higher-capacity alternative if long wire runs are dropping voltage at the lock?
The Command Access PS210 is a UL 6E/CSA linear supply rated 1.5A at 24VDC with boost circuitry, which addresses voltage drop on a small run. For larger loads the Securitron AQL104-D8E1 delivers 24VDC at 10 amps from a switching design running up to 91 percent efficiency, with low battery cutoff and enhanced surge immunity on input and output.
