Altronix WAYPOINT5 12/24VDC Selectable NEMA 4/4X Outdoor Power Supply

Overview

The Altronix WAYPOINT5 is a hardened, field-selectable 12VDC or 24VDC power supply housed in a NEMA 4/4X-rated enclosure — built for surveillance and access control installations where the power source lives outside or in environments with moisture, dust, and temperature extremes. With a rated output of 12VDC at 4A or 24VDC at 3.5A, the WAYPOINT5 handles the load of multiple cameras, door controllers, or peripheral devices from a single distribution point without requiring a separate indoor equipment room.

The dual-voltage input — 115VAC/60Hz or 230VAC/50Hz — makes the WAYPOINT5 genuinely international and eliminates the need for separate SKUs or transformers when deploying across facilities with different utility standards. Input draw is modest: 0.95A at 115VAC, 0.6A at 230VAC, so this unit won't create a panel-breaker problem at typical commercial sites.

Key Features

• Field-Selectable 12VDC / 24VDC Output: Switch between 12VDC at 4A and 24VDC at 3.5A during installation without ordering a different unit. If your camera or lock spec changes between bid and install, you're covered without a return.
• NEMA 4/4X Enclosure Rating (IP66-11): NEMA 4X means this enclosure resists corrosion, windblown dust, rain, splashing water, and hose-directed water — appropriate for mounting on exterior walls, in parking structures, or inside uncontrolled mechanical rooms. IP66-11 aligns with IEC standards for the same protection level.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range: Rated -40°C to 55°C at 12VDC output (or -40°C to 45°C at 24VDC). That -40°C floor means this unit doesn't need a heated enclosure add-on in northern climates — it operates through winter without derating.
• Battery Backup Compatibility — Up to 65AH: The WAYPOINT5 supports external battery capacity up to 40AH or 65AH in a separate enclosure. For sites requiring code-mandated backup runtime on access control or fire-integrated cameras, this matters more than output amperage alone.
• Dual-Voltage AC Input (115VAC or 230VAC): Accommodates North American 60Hz and international 50Hz utility feeds. No step-down transformer needed for European or Latin American facilities running on 230VAC.
• Compact Footprint for the Protection Level: At 13.31
