Altronix AL400ULACM 8-Output Access Power Controller with Integrated Supply & Charger

AL400ULACM Access Power Controller with Integrated Power Supply & Charger

The **AL400ULACM** is a full-function access control power controller with built-in power supply and battery charger, designed to simplify and centralize system power and switching. It converts a standard **115 VAC / 60 Hz input** into **eight independently controlled 12 VDC or 24 VDC relay outputs**, while supplying up to **4 A at 12 VDC** or **3 A at 24 VDC** for all connected devices. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

This unit routes power and control to access hardware like mag locks, strikes, door holders, and more. Each output can be individually configured as fail-safe or fail-secure and is protected via fuses. The built-in charger supports standby battery backup, and the unit offers interfaces for fire alarm (FACP) connectivity and emergency egress. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Key Features

• Integrated power & control solution — one enclosure for power supply, charger, and access switching
• Eight relay outputs — individually fused Class 2 or dry (user-configured)
• Support for 12 VDC or 24 VDC — with up to 4 A (12 V) / 3 A (24 V) continuous output :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
• Fail-safe / fail-secure support per output
• Battery charging & backup — automatic switchover when AC fails
• Fire alarm (FACP) interface for alarm-triggered outputs or shutdown
• Compact enclosure (BC400 style) with protective housing

Application & Integration

The AL400ULACM is ideal for access control systems where multiple locks or devices need individually switched power from a central location. With eight outputs, it’s suited for multi-door installations, gating systems, or security setups. The integrated power supply and charger reduce wiring and complexity by combining multiple functions into a single unit.

Outputs respond to trigger inputs (open-collector or dry contacts) from control panels, keypads, motion sensors, or other access devices. The FACP interface provides system-level alarm or emergency control. The design supports powering locks, strike plates, door holders, or other access controllers while ensuring each circuit is protected. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
