Altronix TEMPOA8RB Concise Descriptor

Overview

The Altronix TEMPOA8RB is a power distribution module designed to manage and distribute power to up to eight (8) different devices or zones from a single power source. This unit is particularly useful in alarm system installations where multiple sensors, keypads, or communication modules require reliable, fused power. It simplifies wiring by consolidating power distribution points, reducing the complexity of the installation and potential points of failure. The TEMPOA8RB is built for commercial environments where robust power management is critical for system uptime.

Compatibility

This module is designed for use with a variety of low-voltage DC power supplies, typically providing 12VDC or 24VDC output. It is compatible with most standard alarm control panels and power supply units that output within this voltage range. Specific compatibility extends to systems requiring fused outputs for individual zones, such as those from major alarm manufacturers where multiple sensors or peripherals need independent power circuits. It is not designed for AC power distribution or high-voltage applications.

Installation Notes

Each of the eight (8) outputs on the TEMPOA8RB is individually fused, allowing for protection against overcurrent conditions on a per-device basis. The module requires a single DC input from a compatible power supply. Wiring involves connecting the DC input to the module's input terminals and then connecting each fused output to the respective device. Terminal blocks are clearly labeled for straightforward connection. Ensure the total current draw of all connected devices does not exceed the rating of the primary power supply or the sum of the individual fuse ratings.
