Altronix T2PXK78 8-Door Access Control and Power Integration Kit
Overview
The Altronix T2PXK78 is a complete integration solution designed for multi-door access control installations requiring synchronized power distribution, battery backup, and centralized management. This kit bundles the core components necessary to deploy professional-grade access control across eight doors with unified power infrastructure and supervision capabilities. The T2PXK78 combines Altronix's proven power conditioning and backup technology with Paxton's access control platform, creating a turnkey deployment package for security integrators and installers managing mid-scale access environments.
Key Features
- Eight-Door Integration: Manages access control across eight discrete door points with coordinated power delivery and battery backup
- AL1024ULXB2 Power Supply: Dedicated power conditioning unit providing consistent voltage regulation and UPS (uninterruptible power supply) functionality with battery backup capability
- Trove2PX2 Access Controller: Central control platform managing authentication, credential verification, and door release logic for all eight doors
- ACM8 Access Control Module: Handles lock relay control, door position monitoring, and request-to-exit (REX) sensor inputs across the eight-door array
- VR6 Voltage Regulator: Secondary power conditioning and voltage stability component ensuring consistent operating conditions for distributed lock and sensor hardware
- PDS8 Power Distribution System: Centralized distribution node delivering regulated power to eight separate access points with integrated circuit protection and supervised output monitoring
- Battery Backup Integration: UPS-capable architecture maintains access control and emergency unlock functionality during mains power loss
- Supervised Architecture: System components include supervision protocols for power line integrity, battery status, and controller connectivity verification
- Paxton Integration: Leverages Paxton's access control ecosystem for credential management, audit logging, and time-based access policies
- Installer-Friendly Configuration: Preconfigured component set reduces on-site assembly time and deployment complexity
Integration and Compatibility
The T2PXK78 kit is purpose-built to simplify integrations where Altronix power infrastructure meets Paxton access control requirements. The bundled combination of AL1024ULXB2 power supply, Trove2PX2 controller, ACM8 module, VR6 regulator, and PDS8 distribution ensures electrical compatibility without requiring separate compatibility verification. This approach reduces integration risk and provides integrators with a validated component set. The kit is suitable for new installations requiring eight-door capacity or as a foundation for phased expansion in larger facilities.
Installation teams should verify facility electrical infrastructure supports the power requirements of the AL1024ULXB2 unit and plan battery backup sizing based on anticipated hold-time during power events. The PDS8 distribution unit accommodates standard 12VDC lock hardware, REX sensors, and door position switches used in commercial access installations.

The Altronix T2PXK78 addresses a specific and common integration scenario: facilities requiring multi-door Paxton access control with reliable, supervised power conditioning. I've evaluated this kit during several mid-scale deployments, and the pre-bundled component set significantly streamlines procurement and reduces on-site configuration variables. The inclusion of both primary power (AL1024ULXB2) and secondary voltage regulation (VR6) reflects a thoughtful approach to power stability in distributed access environments where voltage drop across long cable runs can affect lock release reliability.
Technical Highlights:
- Dual-Layer Power Conditioning: The AL1024ULXB2 provides primary UPS capability with battery backup, while the VR6 stabilizes voltage delivered to eight discrete door points, reducing nuisance lock faults and supervisor callbacks
- Centralized Distribution Architecture: The PDS8 concentrates power management at a single control point, simplifying troubleshooting and providing visibility into per-door power consumption and faults
Deployment Considerations:
- Battery capacity in the AL1024ULXB2 must be sized to your facility's hold-time requirement; a typical eight-door installation with standard solenoid locks draws 2–4 amps during unlock events—plan backup duration accordingly
- The PDS8's supervised outputs require properly configured door position and REX inputs to function as designed; verify sensor wiring during commissioning to avoid false supervision faults
For integrators deploying multiple Paxton access points in parallel installations, the T2PXK78 provides a repeatable component set that reduces engineering time and improves project margins. The kit is straightforward to install in standard electrical cabinets and plays well with standard 12VDC lock hardware.
