Altronix MAXIMAL11K1 16-Output Fused Power Supply
Overview
The Altronix MAXIMAL11K1 is a dual-voltage, 16-output fused power distribution system designed for professional security and access control installations. Configurable for either 12VDC at 8A or 24VDC at 6A, this unit provides independent fused output channels to protect connected devices and simplify circuit management across distributed security applications. The MAXIMAL11K1 serves integrators, IT managers, and installers who require reliable power conditioning and output isolation in multi-device deployments.
Key Features
- Dual Voltage Configuration: Selectable 12VDC@8A or 24VDC@6A output to match diverse device requirements
- 16 Independently Fused Outputs: Each output channel includes individual fuse protection for circuit isolation and fault containment
- Enhanced Load Distribution: Fused architecture enables safe parallel connection of multiple security devices without single-point failure risk
- Professional-Grade Power Conditioning: Stabilized output voltage minimizes noise and interference across connected systems
- Compact Mounting Design: Suitable for DIN rail or wall-mount installation in standard security equipment racks
- Installer-Friendly Interface: Clear labeling and accessible fuse terminals reduce commissioning time and field service complexity
Integration & Compatibility
The MAXIMAL11K1 integrates with standard security system architectures including access control readers, door locks, intercoms, and auxiliary surveillance equipment. The independent fused outputs allow flexible device grouping while maintaining protected circuit isolation. This topology is particularly effective in distributed installations where multiple device types operate simultaneously and fault tolerance is critical to system availability.
Typical Applications
Security integrators deploy the MAXIMAL11K1 in access control hubs, intercom distribution points, and multi-reader entrance systems. The 16-output fused design supports modular expansion without requiring separate power regulators at each device location. IT managers benefit from centralized power management and simplified troubleshooting through independent output monitoring. Installers appreciate the straightforward configuration—no complex firmware setup, just connect, fuse, and deploy.

I've specified the Altronix MAXIMAL11K1 in several multi-building access control projects where circuit isolation and dual-voltage flexibility were non-negotiable. This unit handles the power distribution layer cleanly, leaving the control layer to dedicated access controllers downstream.
Technical Highlights:
- Voltage Flexibility: The ability to switch between 12VDC@8A and 24VDC@6A means a single unit can service heterogeneous device populations—some readers prefer 24V, others run 12V locks. The MAXIMAL11K1 eliminates the need for multiple PSUs.
- Fused Output Isolation: Sixteen independent fuses mean a short on one reader or lock doesn't cascade. You replace the fuse, not the whole supply. In the field, that translates to faster MTTR and fewer truck rolls.
Deployment Considerations:
- Plan your device load ahead of time. At 12VDC@8A total, you have roughly 0.5A per output on average; at 24VDC@6A, about 0.375A per output. Verify that your slowest device (usually a solenoid lock) draws within headroom.
- Mount the MAXIMAL11K1 near your control panel or in a central equipment closet. Keep power and signal runs separated to minimize EMI on low-voltage control circuits.
The MAXIMAL11K1 is a workhorse PSU for security teams that need output-level protection without complex monitoring. Reliable, straightforward, and field-proven.
