Altronix SMP10PMC12X220 12VDC 10A Supervised Power Supply/Charger with Battery Backup

Overview

The Altronix SMP10PMC12X220 is a single-output, regulated 12VDC power supply and battery charger engineered for international surveillance and access control deployments running on 220VAC mains. It converts a 220VAC 50/60Hz input — with a working range of 198VAC to 256VAC — into a clean, electronically regulated 12VDC output at 10A continuous, delivered inside a wall-mount indoor enclosure ready for immediate installation. If you are designing a system in a country or facility with 220V infrastructure and need both primary power delivery and supervised battery backup in a single enclosure, this is the unit to specify. The SMP10PMC12X220 carries CE, TAA, NDAA, and BAA compliance — a meaningful combination for federally funded projects and government facilities where supply-chain provenance must be documented.

Key Features

• 220VAC Input with Wide Working Range (198–256VAC): The input tolerates a ±12% swing around nominal 220VAC, so line voltage sags during peak load or older building infrastructure won't collapse the supply. This is the spec to verify first when specifying for industrial sites or older electrical plants common in international deployments.
• Regulated 12VDC @ 10A Continuous Output: Ten amps of continuous, electronically regulated DC is enough headroom to power multiple IP cameras, door controllers, or a combination of both without requiring a secondary distribution enclosure. Filtered and regulated output keeps noise off sensitive electronics.
• Short-Circuit and Thermal Overload Protection: The supply protects itself and connected equipment from wiring faults and overtemperature events — important when this unit sits behind a wall panel in a mechanical room and isn't checked daily.
• Built-In Battery Charger — 0.7A Charge Current: The integrated charger supports sealed lead-acid or gel-type batteries up to two 12VDC/7AH units in the enclosure. At 0.7A charge current, a fully depleted 7AH battery recovers in roughly 10 hours — plan your maintenance window accordingly. Zero voltage drop during switchover means connected devices see no interruption when AC fails.
• AC Fail and Low Battery Supervision via Form C Contacts: Both AC input loss and low battery conditions report via independent Form C dry contacts. Wire these into your access control panel or alarm communicator and you get supervised power status in your monitoring software without any additional hardware. Form C gives you both a normally open and normally closed circuit — the most flexible contact configuration for integration with virtually any panel.
• Power ON/OFF Switch with LED Indicators: A local power switch and separate AC input and DC output LED indicators let technicians confirm supply status at the enclosure without pulling a meter — useful during commissioning and service calls.
• Wall-Mount Indoor Enclosure — 13
