Altronix T1AA3CK2 Pre-Wired Power Supply with Battery Backup

Overview

The Altronix T1AA3CK2 is a pre-wired, UL294-listed access control power supply and battery backup unit delivering 12VDC or 24VDC at up to 6A continuous from a standard 120VAC, 60Hz input. Designed for commercial access control and surveillance installations, it ships with both the IC2 and RI2M modules pre-installed, cutting field labor on jobs where output configuration and relay interface wiring would otherwise consume billable hours. If your project spec calls for a UL294-compliant power source with onboard battery standby and pre-terminated module bays, the T1AA3CK2 is built for that requirement.

Key Features

6A Continuous Output at 12VDC or 24VDC: At 6A, this supply can power multiple electric strikes, mag-locks, or reader boards simultaneously without a separate distribution module. For a two-door controller running 12VDC mag-locks at roughly 500mA each plus readers at 150mA each, you have substantial headroom remaining — meaning fewer supplies per riser closet and lower installed cost per door.

Dual 7AH Battery Backup (2 × 12VDC/7AH): Two 7AH batteries in the enclosure deliver standby power when mains fail. For a 2A average load, that translates to roughly 3–4 hours of standby — enough to cover most utility outages without a generator transfer. Battery capacity is a code checkpoint on many UL294 installations, so verify your AHJ's standby duration requirement before finalizing battery sizing.

Pre-Wired IC2 and RI2M Modules: Factory-installed modules mean the output control and relay interface wiring is done before the unit reaches the job site. Technicians connect field wiring rather than building internal harnesses — relevant on multi-site rollouts where consistent, inspectable terminations matter more than field flexibility.

UL294, cUL (s319-05), and CE Listings: UL294 is the standard for access control power supplies; cUL s319-05 satisfies Canadian requirements. CE marking covers EU deployments. These listings are load-bearing on most commercial AHJ submittals — the T1AA3CK2 clears all three in a single SKU, which matters when you're pulling permits across multiple jurisdictions on a campus or multi-tenant project.

Operates 0°C to 49°C: The 49°C upper limit covers most conditioned IT closets and interior electrical rooms. If your installation runs in an unconditioned space that exceeds that threshold in summer (mechanical rooms, exterior telecom cabinets), plan for supplemental ventilation or evaluate a higher-rated unit. Storage down to -20°C means units can be warehoused through winter without conditioning.
