Altronix ALTV248300ULM Enclosure CCTV Power Supply
Overview
The Altronix ALTV248300ULM is a rack-mount enclosure power supply designed for distributed CCTV and access control installations requiring multiple Class 2 power outputs. This unit delivers 24/28VAC at 12.5A across eight independently fused outputs, providing the electrical foundation for mid-scale surveillance and security systems. The ALTV248300ULM combines compact form factor with robust power distribution, making it suitable for integrators deploying multi-camera systems, door access controllers, and auxiliary security devices in a single enclosure.
Key Features
- 8 Fused Class 2 Outputs: Individual fused distribution points reduce single-point failures and allow selective load management across connected devices.
- 24/28VAC Output Voltage: Standard voltage for traditional CCTV cameras, PTZ units, and legacy access control systems, ensuring broad compatibility with installed base equipment.
- 12.5A Total Capacity: Sufficient aggregate current for distributed camera arrays and control circuits without requiring secondary distribution nodes in smaller to mid-size deployments.
- Enclosure Housing: Compact metal enclosure rated for wall or rack mounting, protecting internal distribution components and facilitating organized cable management in security rooms and server closets.
- UL Listed: Meets North American electrical safety standards, satisfying code compliance and insurance requirements for commercial installations.
- CE Approved: Conforms to European Union electrical and safety directives, enabling deployment in international markets and multinational facility rollouts.
Integration & Compatibility
The ALTV248300ULM integrates seamlessly into surveillance backbone architectures where multiple 24VAC devices require centralized, protected power distribution. The fused output design allows independent load management—each circuit can be sized and protected according to connected device specifications, simplifying troubleshooting and maintenance.
Security integrators deploying analog and hybrid CCTV systems will find the ALTV248300ULM particularly valuable in retrofit and mixed-technology environments where legacy 24VAC cameras, dome motors, and accessory circuits share infrastructure. The eight independently fused outputs accommodate typical small-to-medium facility requirements without over-provisioning or requiring external distribution components.

I have specified the Altronix ALTV248300ULM in mixed-generation CCTV deployments where centralized power distribution and circuit isolation are operational priorities. The eight fused outputs provide practical flexibility in sizing individual camera and accessory loads without requiring external relay logic or secondary distribution boards.
Technical Highlights:
- Fused Output Architecture: Eight independent Class 2 circuits allow selective load assignment and prevent cascading power loss if a single device fails or draws excessive current.
- 24/28VAC Compatibility: Covers the full range of traditional CCTV camera specifications and PTZ motor requirements, ensuring reliable operation across equipment from multiple manufacturers and generations.
Deployment Considerations:
- Verify aggregate load requirements across all eight circuits do not exceed 12.5A; validate individual device current draw specifications before assignment to prevent nuisance fuse trips.
- Position the enclosure in climate-controlled environments or use supplemental thermal management if mounting in enclosed cable trays or equipment racks to ensure fuse integrity during continuous operation.
The ALTV248300ULM remains a solid workhorse for integrators supporting existing 24VAC infrastructure. Its electrical isolation between circuits and UL/CE certifications reduce installation risk and regulatory friction on retrofit projects.
