Altronix T1KE38 8-Door Access Control Integration Kit

Altronix T1KE38 8-Door Access Control and Power Integration Kit

The Altronix T1KE38 is a pre-configured integration solution combining access control hardware with Kisi cloud-based management and centralized power delivery. This kit eliminates point-by-point system design and provides security integrators with a standardized deployment package for medium-scale access control installations.

Overview

The T1KE38 bundles the Trove1LU1 main controller, AL600ULXB power supply, and dual ACM4 modules into a single purchasing unit. This hardware-software bundle bridges traditional access control infrastructure with modern cloud management, reducing installation complexity and accelerating project deployment. The kit supports eight door control points with integrated supervision and battery backup capacity across all outputs.

Key Features

• Eight-door control capacity with integrated Kisi platform management
• AL600ULXB power supply provides consolidated 12VDC/24VDC output with 6A capacity for sustained multipoint operation
• Dual ACM4 auxiliary control modules expand logic and relay switching capability beyond base controller
• Battery backup integration enables access point operation during power loss events
• Cloud-based credential and access policy management through Kisi dashboard
• Supervised output lines support detection of door lock, strike, or wiring failures
• Standard DIN rail mounting compatible with standard 19-inch equipment racks
• Single kit reduces procurement cycles and simplifies inventory management for integrators

Integration and Compatibility

The T1KE38 is designed as a complete system entry point for organizations moving from legacy card reader networks to cloud-managed access control. The Kisi platform component manages credential lifecycle, visitor access, and audit logging through a web interface accessible from any network-connected device. The AL600ULXB power supply delivers regulated output to door locks, strike plates, and magnetic sensors, while the ACM4 modules provide auxiliary relay switching for gates, turnstiles, or secondary access barriers. This architecture supports mixed deployment scenarios where new access points phase in alongside existing systems.

Integrators can standardize on the T1KE38 for projects requiring 6–8 doors, then scale to multiple kits or select larger Altronix power and controller platforms for larger facilities. The bundled configuration also simplifies warranty and support claims, as all core components ship as a validated assembly.

Package Contents

Each T1KE38 kit includes: one Trove1LU1 access control controller with Kisi integration, one AL600ULXB regulated power supply, and two ACM4 auxiliary control modules. All DIN rail mounting hardware and terminal blocks are pre-installed. Documentation covering wiring, configuration, and cloud platform onboarding is provided in digital format.

James Everett

I evaluated the Altronix T1KE38 during a recent mid-size office building retrofit where the facility was consolidating three separate access reader systems into one managed platform. The bundled approach cut our BOM review time in half and eliminated compatibility questions between the controller, power supply, and auxiliary modules.

Technical Highlights:

• Integrated Power Design: The AL600ULXB supply handles the full 8-door load without requiring separate breaker sizing for individual lock circuits, which streamlined our panel layout.
• Dual ACM4 Expansion: The two auxiliary modules gave us enough relay capacity to handle gate operators and sensor inputs without adding a third-party relay bank.
• Kisi Cloud Backbone: Cloud-based credential provisioning eliminated the need for on-site reader programming hardware and simplified staff access policy changes post-deployment.

Deployment Considerations:

• Battery backup capacity should be sized during the system design phase—the kit supports battery modules, but charging current draw against the 6A supply capacity must be calculated to avoid brownout conditions during extended outages.
• Network connectivity to the Kisi platform is mandatory; designs lacking redundant WAN links should include a local access override solution for critical doors.

The T1KE38 is a solid choice for integrators standardizing on cloud-managed access. It reduces engineering overhead and provides a clear upgrade path from standalone card readers. Confirm network infrastructure and UPS sizing before final installation sign-off.
