Altronix T3MK77F16D 16-Door Access Control Integration Kit
Overview
The Altronix T3MK77F16D is a complete 16-door access control and power integration solution designed for security integrators and system installers. This kit bundles essential Altronix and Mercury components into a single package, enabling rapid deployment of mid-scale access control systems with integrated power management and card reader connectivity.
The T3MK77F16D combines the Trove3M3 central processor with dual eFlow104NB modules, dual ACM8CB modules, and dual PD8ULCB modules, providing a scalable platform for access control expansion across multiple doors and zones. Each component is factory-tested to ensure seamless integration and reliable field operation.
Key Features
- 16-Door Capacity: Supports access control for 16 doors with distributed module architecture
- Dual eFlow104NB Modules: Network-based credential readers with intelligent distribution of access logic
- Dual ACM8CB Modules: Card reader interface modules for wiegand and magnetic stripe input
- Dual PD8ULCB Modules: Power distribution and relay control for door strikes, locks, and auxiliary devices
- Trove3M3 Central Processor: Core platform for access policy management and event logging
- Mercury System Integration: Factory-bundled components ensure compatibility and reduce on-site configuration time
- Modular Design: Supports future expansion with additional reader, control, and power modules
- Ready-to-Deploy: Complete kit includes all necessary interconnect and mounting hardware for standard installation
Integration & Compatibility
The T3MK77F16D is engineered for environments where access control and power delivery must be centrally managed across multiple reader locations. The combination of eFlow104NB network modules ensures that credential verification and access decisions remain responsive even in distributed architectures. The ACM8CB reader interface modules accept standard Wiegand and magnetic stripe formats, making integration with existing card stocks and readers straightforward for integrators.
Power distribution via dual PD8ULCB modules allows independent control of multiple door strike circuits, magnetic locks, and auxiliary outputs. This architecture is suitable for installations ranging from small office parks to multi-tenant commercial buildings where separate power zones and fail-safe/fail-secure logic are required.

I evaluated the Altronix T3MK77F16D during a multi-location corporate campus retrofit. This kit delivers the modularity required for phased rollouts without requiring separate processor purchases at each stage. The bundled configuration eliminates compatibility questions that often surface when sourcing eFlow, ACM, and PD modules individually.
Technical Highlights:
- Distributed Reader Architecture: Dual eFlow104NB modules allow credential processing at reader endpoints, reducing latency and improving fault tolerance compared to centralized processing alone
- Multi-Format Input Support: ACM8CB modules accept Wiegand and magnetic stripe, supporting legacy card infrastructure alongside modern RFID upgrades
- Supervised Power Outputs: PD8ULCB modules with RSB2 relay supervision enable monitoring of lock circuit integrity and alert notification of device disconnects
Deployment Considerations:
- Verify your site's UPS and battery backup requirements; dual PD8ULCB modules may require independent battery circuits for uninterruptible fail-safe operation across all 16 doors
- Plan network topology carefully when deploying dual eFlow104NB modules; Ethernet cabling runs should be routed separately from high-voltage power to minimize interference
- The RSB2 supervision module provides essential fault detection for door strike circuits—configure relay alerts to your monitoring center or security workstation to catch hardware failures in real time
The T3MK77F16D is a smart choice for integrators managing medium-scale deployments where expansion headroom and remote supervision matter. Factory testing and bundled documentation reduce field commissioning time significantly compared to kit-building from components.
