Altronix T2MK5FAMZ 115VAC Power Supply Charger

Altronix T2MK5FAMZ Power Supply and Charger

The Altronix T2MK5FAMZ is a dedicated power supply and charger unit designed for security integrators and system installers who require dependable backup power in access control and surveillance installations. This unit accepts 115VAC input and provides regulated output for battery charging and system operation, making it suitable for installations where AC mains power is available and battery backup is required during power loss events.

Overview

The T2MK5FAMZ serves as a central power conditioning and battery charging solution in security system architectures. It is engineered to deliver consistent output voltage and current capacity while simultaneously maintaining battery charge state. The unit integrates seamlessly into installations that use Altronix enclosures, power distribution modules, and complementary backup power equipment. This product is specified as part of a complete power management solution that may include TROVE2M2 enclosures, TMV2 modules, EF102 transformers, PD16 power distribution boards, and 115VAC source equipment.

Key Features

• 115VAC input voltage for AC mains operation
• Regulated output for battery charging and system power
• Dedicated charger function to maintain battery state of charge
• Compact form factor suitable for cabinet and enclosure integration
• Compatible with Altronix modular power and enclosure systems
• Thermal management design for continuous duty operation

Integration and Compatibility

The T2MK5FAMZ is part of the Altronix modular power platform. It works in conjunction with TROVE2M2 enclosures for housing and cable management, TMV2 voltage monitoring modules for supervision and alarm notification, EF102 transformer modules for voltage stepping or isolation, and PD16 power distribution boards for output circuit separation and fusing. This modular approach allows integrators to build custom power solutions scaled to the number of loads and redundancy requirements of the installation.

When specified together, these components create a unified power management system where the T2MK5FAMZ charger maintains battery backup capacity, the TROVE2M2 enclosure provides physical organization and environmental protection, and the PD16 distribution board allocates power to individual circuits with branch protection. The TMV2 module monitors system voltages and can trigger alerts if output levels drift outside acceptable ranges.

Typical Applications

Security integrators deploy the T2MK5FAMZ in installations requiring battery backup for access control systems, intercom stations, card readers, and auxiliary security devices. It is commonly specified in commercial buildings, educational campuses, healthcare facilities, and multi-tenant properties where sustained power during AC mains loss is critical to system availability.

Karl Wilson

During system design review for a mid-sized access control retrofit, I evaluated the Altronix T2MK5FAMZ as the core charging and power conditioning component. The unit's 115VAC input compatibility with standard facility AC distribution and its regulated output design made sizing battery backup straightforward. When paired with modular enclosure and distribution options, the T2MK5FAMZ eliminated the need for separate charger procurement and simplified field configuration.

Technical Highlights:

• AC Input Rating: 115VAC input allows direct connection to standard North American facility power without step-down transformers in most installations
• Charger Function: Integrated charging circuit maintains connected lead-acid or sealed battery packs at float voltage, ensuring readiness during outage conditions
• Modular System Integration: Designed to work with Altronix TROVE2M2 enclosures, TMV2 monitoring modules, PD16 distribution boards, and EF102 transformer options for scalable deployments

Deployment Considerations:

• Verify available AC circuit capacity at the installation location before final placement; the T2MK5FAMZ requires dedicated branch circuit protection sized to the unit's input current draw
• Position the charger in an accessible area within the cabinet or enclosure to allow technicians to replace batteries and verify LED status indicators during routine maintenance
• When used with the TMV2 voltage monitoring module, configure alarm thresholds to match the specific battery chemistry and float voltage—lead-acid systems typically run at 13.6V, while lithium backup systems may require different setpoints

For integrators standardizing on Altronix modular power platforms, the T2MK5FAMZ eliminates the complexity of sourcing separate chargers, enclosures, and distribution components. Specification of the complete TROVE2M2 + T2MK5FAMZ + PD16 + TMV2 stack delivers a field-proven, code-compliant backup power solution with minimal site integration effort.
