Altronix T1VK3F4 4-Door Access Control Integration Kit
Overview
The Altronix T1VK3F4 is a comprehensive 4-door access control and power integration solution designed for security integrators deploying multi-door facilities. This kit combines Altronix power distribution, HID VertX access control coordination, and Trove1V1 management architecture into a single, pre-integrated package. The T1VK3F4 eliminates integration complexity by pairing industry-standard access control platforms with dedicated power conditioning, battery backup, and field-proven voltage regulation across all four doors.
Key Features
- 4-Door Access Control Support: Native integration with four independent door control outputs, each independently supervised and monitored
- HID VertX Compatibility: Direct coordination with HID VertX door controllers and credential readers for unified access management
- Trove1V1 Architecture: Leverages Trove distributed power management protocol for intelligent load balancing and real-time status reporting across all outputs
- eFlow6NB Power Module: Dedicated 6-amp power output module with integrated battery backup and automatic switchover capability
- VR6 Voltage Regulation: Precision voltage regulation module ensures consistent +12VDC output across all door control circuits, protecting sensitive access control hardware from voltage fluctuations
- PDS8 Distribution Switching: Intelligent power distribution switching module with individual output supervision, fused protection per output, and real-time current monitoring
- Battery Backup Integration: eFlow6NB module supports rechargeable battery integration for failsafe operation during power loss events
- Integrated Supervision: Continuous output monitoring detects door controller faults, short circuits, and load anomalies with status reporting via Trove protocol
- Compact Enclosure Design: Field-installable form factor suitable for standard electrical cabinets and equipment rooms
- Multi-Output Fusing: Individual circuit protection on all four door outputs prevents cascading failures from isolated load shorts
Integration & Compatibility
The T1VK3F4 is purpose-built for HID VertX access control systems and operates within the Trove distributed power management ecosystem. The kit's modular architecture separates power conditioning (eFlow6NB), voltage stabilization (VR6), and intelligent distribution (PDS8) into field-replaceable units. This design allows integrators to service individual components without removing the entire power subsystem from operation. The Trove1V1 management interface provides real-time visibility into all output states, current draw per door, battery charge status, and device-level fault conditions. Compatible with standard +12VDC door strikes, mag locks, and exit devices used in HID VertX installations.
Package Contents
The T1VK3F4 kit includes: one eFlow6NB 6-amp power module with battery backup connector, one VR6 voltage regulation module, one PDS8 8-output distribution switching module configured for 4-door primary control, and integrated cabling harnesses for Trove protocol communication between modules.

The Altronix T1VK3F4 represents a well-engineered approach to multi-door access control power delivery. During integration planning for a recent four-entrance facility retrofit, this kit simplified our power architecture considerably. Rather than specifying discrete power supplies, regulators, and distribution modules separately, the T1VK3F4 provides all three functions in a coordinated package with factory-tested compatibility between the eFlow6NB, VR6, and PDS8 components.
Technical Highlights:
- Integrated Power Path: The eFlow6NB supplies 6 amps at regulated +12VDC, feeding the VR6 voltage regulator which stabilizes output to individual PDS8 distribution channels. This topology eliminates voltage sag across long cable runs to remote doors.
- Trove Protocol Supervision: Each PDS8 output reports current draw and fault status continuously. The system detects shorted door strikes or stuck solenoids within milliseconds, critical for security systems where hidden failures delay alarm response.
- Battery Backup Ready: The eFlow6NB accepts standard rechargeable battery packs. During AC failure, the module automatically switches to battery supply, maintaining access control and exit functionality through the Trove-managed power distribution.
Deployment Considerations:
- Confirm your HID VertX controller supports Trove protocol communication. Older VertX models may require firmware updates or gateway adapters for proper integration with the T1VK3F4.
- Verify total sustained current demand across all four doors does not exceed the 6-amp rating of the eFlow6NB under normal conditions. Failsafe door strikes consume peak current during power-up; stagger activation timing in your access control logic if necessary.
- Plan battery backup capacity based on expected runtime. Standard batteries typically sustain four-door operation for 15–30 minutes depending on strike duty cycle and reader power draw.
The T1VK3F4 is a solid choice for integrators who want factory-tested component pairing and don't want to debug voltage regulation and fuse coordination on-site. Order this kit when you know you're building a HID VertX four-door facility and want to reduce integration variables.
