Securitron AQL4-B100R8E1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What voltage inputs does the Securitron AQL4 accept?
The AQL4 accepts dual voltage inputs of 12VDC or 24VDC. This flexibility allows it to work with most access control systems without additional voltage conversion.
2) How much current can this power supply deliver?
The AQL4 delivers 4 amps of switching power. This capacity handles multiple electromagnetic locks, electric strikes, or other access control devices on a single supply.
3) What devices can I power with the AQL4?
Use the AQL4 to power electromagnetic locks, electric strikes, door operators, card readers, and other access control hardware. Verify your total device current draw stays within the 4-amp limit.
4) Where should I mount this power supply?
Mount the AQL4 in a secure location like an electrical room or access control panel enclosure. Keep it dry and provide adequate ventilation for heat dissipation.
5) Does this unit include battery backup capability?
Check the specific model specifications for battery backup features. Some Securitron power supplies include backup battery connections while others require separate backup systems.
6) What wire gauge should I use for connections?
Use 12 AWG wire for most installations. For longer runs or higher current loads, consider 10 AWG. Follow local electrical codes and manufacturer wiring diagrams.
7) How do I calculate if 4 amps is enough for my system?
Add up the current draw of all connected devices. Include electromagnetic locks, strikes, readers, and control panels. Leave 20% headroom below the 4-amp maximum for safety.
8) Can I parallel multiple AQL4 units for more capacity?
Do not parallel power supply outputs. Instead, distribute loads across separate units or upgrade to a higher capacity power supply for applications requiring more than 4 amps.
9) What safety features does the AQL4 include?
Securitron power supplies typically include overcurrent protection, thermal shutdown, and short circuit protection. Check the datasheet for complete safety feature specifications.
10) How do I troubleshoot power supply issues?
Check input voltage first, then verify all connections are tight. Measure output voltage under load. If output is low, reduce connected devices to isolate overload conditions.
11) What other Securitron power supplies are available?
Securitron offers various power supply models with different current ratings and features. Browse our Securitron collection for the full range of access control power solutions.
