Altronix AL300ULPD8CB Concise Descriptor
Overview
The Altronix AL300ULPD8CB is a versatile power distribution module designed to provide reliable 12VDC or 24VDC power to multiple surveillance devices. It integrates a power supply with an 8-output distribution board, simplifying installation and management for systems requiring distributed power. This unit is ideal for installations where a single power source needs to feed several cameras, access control readers, or other low-voltage security devices, ensuring consistent operation and reducing wiring complexity. The AL300ULPD8CB model specifically includes the PD8ULCB distribution board, offering fused outputs for individual device protection.
Compatibility
This power distribution module is designed to work with a wide range of low-voltage security and surveillance equipment. It is compatible with systems requiring either 12VDC or 24VDC input and can distribute power to up to eight individual devices. It is commonly paired with IP cameras, analog cameras, PTZ controllers, access control panels, intercom systems, and network switches that operate within its 2.5A total output capacity. The fused outputs on the PD8ULCB board allow for granular protection, making it suitable for mixed device installations where individual device current draw varies.
Installation Notes
The AL300ULPD8CB requires a 115VAC or 230VAC input for its internal power supply. The unit should be mounted in a clean, dry location, typically within a cabinet or enclosure. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit to prevent overheating, especially when operating at maximum load. Each of the eight outputs on the PD8ULCB board is individually fused, allowing for easy replacement if a device causes a short circuit. The module supports a total output current of 2.5A, which must be distributed across all connected devices. Verify that the combined current draw of all connected devices does not exceed this limit to ensure stable operation.
