Altronix EFLOW6N16 Power Supply Charger
Overview
The Altronix EFLOW6N16 is a 16-output fused power supply and charger designed for distributed security and access control installations. Operating from 115VAC input, the EFLOW6N16 delivers regulated 12/24VDC output with 6A total current capacity across 16 independently fused circuits. Built for flexibility and integration with modern security ecosystems, this unit supports FAI (Fault Analysis Interface) and LinQ2-ready architecture, enabling seamless connectivity with legacy and contemporary control systems. The compact BC300 enclosure houses all fused outputs, making it ideal for wall-mount and cabinet installations in access control, CCTV, alarm, and telecommunications applications.
Key Features

Integration and Compatibility
The EFLOW6N16 integrates with Altronix control platforms and third-party access control, video surveillance, and alarm systems. FAI reporting capability allows real-time fault monitoring across all 16 circuits, reducing service response time and improving system uptime. LinQ2 readiness positions the unit for future protocol upgrades and expanded monitoring capabilities without hardware replacement. The flexible 12/24VDC output accommodates both legacy 12V devices and modern 24V standards, simplifying mixed-voltage system designs. The auxiliary output enables integration with external battery backup, relay control, or auxiliary signaling circuits.

I've specified the EFLOW6N16 in access control and distributed alarm panel deployments where circuit-level fault isolation is non-negotiable. The 16 independently fused outputs let you isolate a failed reader or lock without bringing down other circuits—critical when you're managing multiple doors or zones across a single cabinet. The dual voltage flexibility (12/24VDC) means you're not locked into one standard; I've used it to retire old 12V readers gradually while deploying new 24V devices on the same power backbone.
Technical Highlights:
- Fused Distribution: 16 independent fuses mean one bad device doesn't cascade failures across your entire control infrastructure
- FAI and LinQ2: Real-time fault reporting and forward compatibility reduce troubleshooting time and future-proof the investment
Deployment Considerations:
- Calculate total load across all 16 outputs; at 6A total, you're looking at ~375mA per output on average—manageable for door locks, readers, and relay modules but verify against your specific device specs
- The auxiliary output is valuable for battery backup integration; always provision UPS capacity if uptime SLA demands it
For integrators managing multi-zone or multi-building security systems, the EFLOW6N16's fused architecture and fault reporting eliminate guesswork in diagnostics. Order online today with confidence.
