Altronix T2M7LCK1D Power and Access Control Integration Kit

Overview

The Altronix T2M7LCK1D is a pre-matched kit that combines a power supply, distribution modules, enclosure hardware, and high-voltage AC transfer switching into a single orderable unit — eliminating the sourcing friction of specifying each component separately. For integrators running structured access control or surveillance power infrastructure, ordering the T2M7LCK1D means the transformer, distribution board, voltage regulator, relay board, and enclosure trough all arrive together and are confirmed compatible by the manufacturer before they ship. That matters on jobs where a missing component holds up commissioning.

Altronix designs this kit around the Trove2 enclosure platform — a well-established form factor in the Altronix access control power line — paired with the TM2 transformer and AL1024ULXB2 power supply. The result is a self-contained power node you can mount, wire, and hand off to the next trade without improvising compatibility on-site.

Key Features

• Circ1ATSE High-Voltage AC Automatic Transfer Switch: The included Circ1ATSE handles automatic AC source switching inside its own enclosure. In installations where generator or UPS backup is required, this component handles the switchover without manual intervention — critical for door controllers or surveillance recorders that cannot tolerate a manual re-energize sequence during a power event.
• AL1024ULXB2 UL-Listed Power Supply: The AL1024ULXB2 is a UL-listed 24VAC/DC power supply — the UL listing is a hard requirement on most commercial and institutional bids. Having it bundled here rather than specified and sourced separately reduces the risk of a last-minute substitution that breaks compliance documentation.
• ACMS8CB 8-Output Power Distribution: The ACMS8CB provides eight individually fused outputs, so each camera or reader on the circuit is independently protected. A single shorted device does not pull down the entire panel — a practical advantage on any multi-device run where troubleshooting time is billable.
• PDS8CB Plug-In Power Distribution Strip: The PDS8CB adds a second distribution layer inside the same enclosure, giving you additional circuit capacity without external junction boxes. More outputs in the same footprint means cleaner installs in tight IDF closets or wall-mount locations.
• VR6 Voltage Regulator: The VR6 maintains stable output voltage under varying load conditions. Fluctuating supply voltage is a common cause of intermittent device resets on access control panels — the VR6 addresses that before it becomes a service call.
• RSB1 Relay/Splice Board: The RSB1 provides relay and splice termination points inside the enclosure. Keeping all terminations inside the Trove2 rather than daisy-chaining connectors outside reduces both installation time and the number of exposed connection points that can loosen over time.
• Trove2 Enclosure with Trove2BWC Battery/Wire Trough: The Trove2BWC wire trough keeps battery leads and power conductors routed and separated from signal wiring — a detail that matters for EMI-sensitive reader cables and simplifies any future service access. The battery compartment is integrated, so backup power stays inside the enclosure rather than in a separate box strapped alongside.
• MM8 Mounting Magnets (8-Pack): The eight included mounting magnets allow modules to be repositioned inside the enclosure without tools, which speeds initial layout and simplifies field adjustments when cable routing dictates a different component arrangement than originally planned.
• WM5 Magnetic Cable Tie Mounts: The WM5 mounts secure cable bundles magnetically against the enclosure steel — no drilling, no adhesive that fails at temperature extremes, and fully repositionable if the wiring plan changes.
• BR1 Add-On Mounting Bracket: The BR1 bracket extends the mounting options for components that need a secondary attachment point, useful when enclosure real estate is at a premium or when a specific module needs offset positioning for cable clearance.

Integration and Compatibility

The T2M7LCK1D is built around Altronix's Trove2 ecosystem, which means every module in the kit is dimensioned and tested to fit inside the Trove2 enclosure without modification. Integrators already deploying access control power supplies from the Altronix Trove platform will find the mounting footprint and wiring conventions identical to other Trove2-based installations. The Circ1ATSE transfer switch integrates at the AC input side, so it is upstream of all downstream DC distribution — ensuring that every output, including the AL1024ULXB2 and its downstream loads, benefits from automatic transfer without per-device wiring changes.

For projects requiring NVR or controller backup power, the integrated battery trough in the Trove2BWC accommodates sealed lead-acid backup batteries within the same enclosure footprint, keeping the installation compact and code-compliant in jurisdictions that require enclosed battery storage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What enclosure does the T2M7LCK1D ship with?

A: The kit includes the Trove2 enclosure along with the Trove2BWC battery and wire trough expansion, providing an integrated mounting and cable management solution for all included components.

Q: Does the T2M7LCK1D include a UL-listed power supply?

A: Yes. The AL1024ULXB2 included in this kit is a UL-listed power supply, which is required for compliance documentation on most commercial access control and surveillance installations.

Q: How many protected outputs does this kit provide?

A: The ACMS8CB in this kit provides eight individually fused power distribution outputs. The PDS8CB adds additional distribution capacity, giving you expanded circuit count within the same Trove2 enclosure.

Q: What does the Circ1ATSE do and why does it matter for this installation?

A: The Circ1ATSE is a high-voltage AC automatic transfer switch that switches the AC input source automatically during a power event — such as a generator or UPS cut-in. This eliminates the need for manual intervention to restore power to downstream access control or surveillance devices after a primary power failure.

Q: Can I add additional modules to the Trove2 enclosure used in this kit?

A: The Trove2 platform is designed for expansion. The included BR1 add-on mounting bracket, MM8 magnetic mounting magnets, and WM5 magnetic cable tie mounts all support reconfiguration and addition of compatible Altronix modules within the enclosure without permanent modification.

Q: Is this kit intended for new installations only, or can it be retrofitted into existing Altronix enclosures?

A: The individual components in the T2M7LCK1D are standard Altronix modules. While the kit is designed as a complete new-installation unit built around the Trove2 enclosure, integrators familiar with the Trove2 platform can assess individual component compatibility with existing enclosures on a module-by-module basis.

The T2M7LCK1D is the kind of kit that saves a job from the slow death of component-by-component sourcing delays. What I specifically want to call out is the Circ1ATSE automatic transfer switch — having that bundled and confirmed compatible with the AL1024ULXB2 power supply inside the same Trove2 enclosure means you are not improvising an AC transfer topology on-site or hoping two separately sourced components cooperate under load.

Technical Highlights:

• ACMS8CB 8-Output Fused Distribution: Eight individually fused outputs mean a fault on one camera or reader circuit does not cascade. On an 8-door controller installation, that isolation is the difference between one inoperative door and a service call that takes the whole panel down.
• Trove2BWC Battery/Wire Trough: The integrated battery and wire trough keeps backup battery leads fully enclosed and routed away from reader signal cables — a detail that prevents the EMI-induced reader glitching that shows up as intermittent access events and is notoriously hard to diagnose after the fact.
• MM8 Magnetic Mounting System (8-Pack): Eight magnets give you enough placement flexibility to lay out the enclosure interior to match your cable entry points rather than routing cables to fixed mount positions — a real time saver during initial commission when conduit stub-outs rarely land exactly where planned.

Deployment Considerations:

• The Circ1ATSE operates at high-voltage AC — confirm your AHJ's requirements for transfer switch installation in the enclosure before rough-in. Some jurisdictions require separation or specific conduit sealing at the AC entry point into the Trove2.
• The VR6 voltage regulator stabilizes output under varying load, but size your transformer (TM2) budget accurately up front — a regulator cannot compensate for a chronically undersized transformer running near thermal limit on a hot summer day in an unconditioned closet.

This kit is the right call for commercial access control installations of four to eight doors where the design calls for automatic AC transfer, UL-listed power, and clean enclosure wiring — specifically in facilities that require battery backup to be contained inside the power enclosure per the security consultant's spec.
