Altronix T2M7XK3DV 8-Door Mercury Access and Power Integration Kit
The Altronix T2M7XK3DV is a factory-configured 8-door access control power and integration kit built around the Trove2M2 enclosure. It ships with the eFlow104NBV power supply/charger, ACMS8CB dual-input access power controller, VR6 voltage regulator, PDS8CB power distribution module, RSB1, wire harnesses, and pre-terminated finger duct — all pre-wired with terminal blocks for Mercury-platform controllers. If you're deploying Mercury hardware and want to eliminate field wiring labor on the power side, this is a direct-fit solution.
Overview
The T2M7XK3DV targets multi-door commercial and enterprise access deployments where Mercury controllers are the head end. The kit accommodates four Dual Reader Interface Modules, covering up to 8 doors from a single enclosure. Power runs at 220VAC input (working range 198–256VAC, 50/60Hz, 2.7A), stepping down to 24VDC at 10A continuous output — enough headroom to drive multiple Mercury panels, electrified hardware, and auxiliary devices simultaneously without margining the supply. TAA, NDAA, and BAA compliance make it suitable for government and federally funded projects.
Key Features
- 24VDC / 10A Primary Output: The eFlow104NBV delivers filtered, regulated 24VDC at 10A — adequate for four reader interface modules, locking hardware, and panel logic simultaneously. A separate 1A unswitched auxiliary output handles low-draw devices without consuming the main rail.
- Dual Voltage Architecture via VR6 + ACMS8CB: The VR6 regulator converts 24VDC to 12VDC at 6A continuous with surge suppression. The ACMS8CB then takes both 24VDC and 12VDC as inputs and delivers eight individually selectable 12VDC or 24VDC outputs — so mixed-voltage locking hardware (magnetic locks at 24V, strikes at 12V) coexist on the same backplane without external converters.
- Eight Independently Controlled Outputs (ACMS8CB): Each of the eight outputs is PTC-protected at 2.5A and selectable for fail-safe power, fail-secure power, Form C relay output (rated 28VAC/VDC @ 2.5A), or unswitched auxiliary. Per-output OFF position enables live servicing without shutting the panel down.
- Battery Backup with Deep-Discharge Protection: Supports up to four 12VDC/7AH sealed lead acid or gel batteries (sold separately). AC failure trips instantaneous failover. The low-DC shutdown cuts output if battery voltage drops below 70–75% of nominal — preventing the cell damage that kills batteries in year one of service.
- Supervised AC and Battery Inputs: Form C contacts on both AC failure and battery status feed directly into your FACP or monitoring head end. Latching or non-latching fire alarm disconnect is included and supervised with 10K EOL resistor — a code requirement in most jurisdictions.
- PDS8CB Power Distribution: Eight additional PTC-protected outputs (2.5A each, 9A input PTC) selectable between 12VDC and 24VDC, giving you dedicated circuits for readers, REX devices, and door position switches without sharing the access controller rail.
- Factory-Wired Trove2M2 Enclosure: Pre-installed wire harnesses, finger duct, and terminal blocks mean field installation is landing conductors, not building a wiring harness. Enclosure measures 21.5"W x 27.25"H x 6.5"D — plan the rough-in accordingly.
- NDAA / TAA / BAA Compliant: Verified for projects subject to NDAA Section 889 and federal procurement requirements. CE and UL Listed sub-assemblies.
Integration and Compatibility
The T2M7XK3DV is designed for Mercury-platform hardware and is also validated with AccessNsite, Avigilon, BadgePass, Genetec, Johnson Controls, Keri Systems, Lenel/S2, Open Options, Panasonic i-PRO MonitorCast, RS2, S2 Security, Schneider Electric, and Vanderbilt, among others. If your VMS or access platform runs a Mercury controller underneath, this kit is a pre-qualified fit. For access control power solutions, the Trove Plus series from Altronix covers configurations from 2-door up through enterprise scale. Pair with a compatible Mercury controller and UPS or battery backup to complete the installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the T2M7XK3DV NDAA Section 889 compliant?
A: Yes. The T2M7XK3DV carries TAA, NDAA, and BAA compliance as listed in the manufacturer's agency listings.
Q: What Mercury-compatible platforms work with this kit?
A: In addition to Mercury hardware directly, the kit is validated with Avigilon, Genetec, Johnson Controls, Lenel/S2, Keri Systems, Open Options, RS2, S2 Security, Schneider Electric, Vanderbilt, Panasonic i-PRO MonitorCast, and others that run Mercury controllers.
Q: Do batteries ship with the T2M7XK3DV?
A: No. The kit supports up to four 12VDC/7AH sealed lead acid or gel batteries, which must be purchased separately.
Q: What input voltage does this kit require?
A: The eFlow104NBV power supply accepts 220VAC with a working range of 198–256VAC at 50/60Hz, drawing 2.7A. It is not dual-voltage switchable — confirm your site runs 220VAC before ordering.
Q: How many doors can the T2M7XK3DV support?
A: Up to 8 doors, accommodating four Dual Reader Interface Modules within the Trove2M2 enclosure.
Q: What operating temperature range is supported?
A: 0°C to 49°C (32°F to 120°F) operating, with storage from -20°C to 70°C.
The T2M7XK3DV is the spec I reach for when a project has 220VAC infrastructure, a Mercury controller head end, and a contractor who needs to minimize field wiring time on the power side. The ACMS8CB's eight independently selectable 12/24VDC outputs — each PTC-protected at 2.5A — mean you're not fighting mixed-voltage locking hardware with external converters or piggyback relays.
Technical Highlights:
- eFlow104NBV 24VDC/10A Output: Filtered and regulated, with overvoltage protection and instantaneous battery failover on AC loss — the 15A/32V battery fuse and 70–75% low-voltage shutdown protect the battery bank from deep discharge cycling that would otherwise cut battery life by half.
- VR6 12VDC/6A Regulator with Surge Suppression: Sits between the 24VDC main rail and the 12VDC distribution network, so a transient on the 12V side doesn't propagate upstream to the Mercury panel logic.
- NDAA/TAA/BAA Compliance: All three compliance marks on a single factory-configured kit simplifies federal and state procurement documentation — you're not cross-referencing sub-assembly compliance separately.
Deployment Considerations:
- The enclosure is 21.5"W x 27.25"H x 6.5"D and weighs 41.6 lbs — rough-in the backbox location before drywall and confirm wall stud or block backing can handle the load with four 7AH batteries installed.
- This kit is 220VAC only (198–256VAC working range). If your site runs 120VAC, this is the wrong SKU — Altronix offers equivalent Trove kits for 120VAC input.
Best fit: multi-tenant commercial buildings, healthcare facilities, and government installations on 220VAC infrastructure where Mercury is the access platform, the contractor base is familiar with Trove enclosures, and procurement requires NDAA/TAA documentation out of the box.
