Altronix T3M77XK1DQV 16-Door Mercury Access and Power Integration Kit
Overview
The Altronix T3M77XK1DQV is a factory-wired, 16-door access control power integration kit built around the Trove3M3 enclosure platform. It ships pre-configured with terminal blocks, wire management, and all sub-assemblies calibrated for Mercury hardware — eliminating the panel wiring and power design work that typically consumes the first day of a commercial access control installation. The kit accommodates up to one Intelligent Dual Reader Controller and seven Dual Reader Interface Modules, making it a direct fit for enterprise deployments using Altronix access power solutions within a Mercury-based ecosystem. If your team has fought through a multi-panel wiring job and vowed never again, this is the product to evaluate.
Input power is 220VAC (working range 198–256VAC, 50/60Hz), which suits international facilities and sites running on European-standard distribution. The T3M77XK1DQV feeds 24VDC at 10A per power supply/charger — enough headroom for high-current electric strikes, magnetic locks, and controller loads across all 16 doors simultaneously without marginal power budgets.
Key Features
- Dual eFlow104NBV Power Supply/Chargers (220VAC input): Each unit delivers 24VDC at 10A with an auxiliary 1A unswitched output. Filtered, regulated output means downstream Mercury controllers and locks receive stable power — no brownout behavior during heavy load transitions.
- Battery Backup with Failover: Charges 12VDC/7AH sealed lead-acid or gel batteries (four fit inside the enclosure; larger 40AH/65AH banks require a separate enclosure). On AC loss, failover is instantaneous — no controller reboot, no access interruption mid-credential-read.
- Low DC Shutdown Protection at 70–75%: The power supply shuts down DC output terminals before batteries discharge below 70–75% of rated voltage, preventing deep discharge that kills sealed lead-acid cells prematurely. In practice, this extends battery service life significantly in buildings with frequent utility outages.
- Dual LINQ8ACMCB Networked Controllers (8 outputs each): Each LINQ8ACMCB provides eight PTC-protected 2.5A outputs, individually programmable as fail-safe, fail-secure, or auxiliary. Outputs can be set to follow either 24VDC or 12VDC input rails — critical when mixing door hardware that requires different voltages on the same panel.
- Dual VR6 Voltage Regulators (24VDC in → 12VDC/6A out): Converts the primary 24VDC rail to a clean 12VDC/6A output with surge suppression. This eliminates the need for separate voltage regulators on 12V lock hardware, reducing enclosure clutter and potential failure points in the field.
- Dual LINQ8PDCB Network Power Distribution Modules: Input PTCs at 9A with surge suppression; outputs support local or remote control. Adds another layer of per-output monitoring and remote switching — useful in enterprise environments where facilities teams need to cycle power to specific doors without dispatching a technician.
- Pre-Wired Factory Assembly in 30.12″W × 36.12″H × 7.06″D Enclosure: At 95.6 lbs, this ships as a complete panel. Factory wiring and labeled terminal blocks cut field installation to mounting, conduit runs, and reader/lock connections — the work integrators actually need to do, not rework someone else's panel layout.
- Broad Mercury Partner Compatibility: Verified compatible with Genetec, Avigilon, Vanderbilt, Johnson Controls, S2 Security, Open Options, Kastle, and 14 additional access control platforms — choose your VMS or access management software without redesigning the power architecture.
Integration and Compatibility
The T3M77XK1DQV is purpose-built for Mercury EP and LP series controllers and interface modules. The RSB2 relay sub-board ships installed. If your project specifies Genetec Security Center, Avigilon ACC, or Vanderbilt SMS, no additional power adaptation is required — the kit is pre-terminated for Mercury hardware that those platforms support. For LINQ network monitoring, connect the LINQ8ACMCB modules to your network switch via standard Ethernet; voltage, current, and alarm status are visible per-output through the LINQ management interface. Pair this kit with a compatible access power distribution solution if extending beyond 16 doors. Review the Mercury controller selection guide before specifying the panel count — one Intelligent Dual Reader Controller plus seven Dual Reader Interface Modules is the ceiling for a single T3M77XK1DQV.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How many doors does the T3M77XK1DQV support?
A: The kit supports up to 16 doors — one Intelligent Dual Reader Controller and seven Dual Reader Interface Modules.
Q: Does the T3M77XK1DQV work with Genetec Security Center?
A: Yes. Genetec is listed among the verified Mercury partner platforms compatible with this kit, along with Avigilon, Vanderbilt, Johnson Controls, S2 Security, Open Options, and others.
Q: What battery types are supported, and how many fit inside the enclosure?
A: The eFlow104NBV chargers support 12VDC/7AH sealed lead-acid or gel-type batteries. Four batteries fit inside the Trove3M3 enclosure; 40AH or 65AH capacity requires a separate external enclosure. Batteries are sold separately.
Q: What input voltage does the T3M77XK1DQV require?
A: The unit requires 220VAC input with a working range of 198–256VAC at 50/60Hz. It is not designed for 120VAC environments without a step-up transformer.
Q: Can I remotely monitor and control individual door power outputs?
A: Yes. The LINQ8ACMCB modules provide per-output voltage and current monitoring, programmable trigger inputs, and remote control via network connection. Each of the eight outputs is individually addressable through the LINQ management interface.
The T3M77XK1DQV is the product I recommend when an integrator is facing a 12-to-16-door Mercury rollout on a tight labor schedule and the GC is running 220VAC distribution — the factory-wired Trove3M3 enclosure with pre-terminated Mercury terminal blocks shaves 6 to 8 hours off a typical panel build. The dual 24VDC/10A eFlow104NBV supplies give you real power headroom, not marginal headroom, across all 16 doors simultaneously.
Technical Highlights:
- Dual 10A Outputs at 24VDC: Two independent power supplies mean you can segment door groups by supply for redundancy planning — if one supply drops, only half the doors lose primary power, and battery failover is instantaneous per supply.
- LINQ8ACMCB Per-Output Monitoring: Each of the 16 PTC-protected 2.5A outputs (8 per LINQ8ACMCB) reports voltage and current to the network in real time. Intermittent lock faults that would otherwise require a truck roll show up as current anomalies in the dashboard before they become door outages.
- Low DC Shutdown at 70–75%: The cutoff before deep discharge is not just a safety spec — sealed lead-acid cells that regularly hit 50% depth of discharge last roughly half as long as those held above 70%. The eFlow104NBV's shutdown threshold is directly protecting your maintenance budget.
Deployment Considerations:
- Verify 220VAC service availability at the IDF or MDF where this panel lands — the working range is 198–256VAC, so 120VAC-only rooms require a step-up transformer that should be scoped into the project budget before bid submission.
- Batteries are sold separately and are not included in the kit; spec 12VDC/7AH sealed lead-acid or gel cells, up to four inside the enclosure. If the project requires 40AH or 65AH runtime, budget for a second enclosure and plan conduit routing between panels early.
The T3M77XK1DQV is the right call for large-footprint commercial facilities — corporate campuses, healthcare wings, university buildings — running Mercury hardware under Genetec, Avigilon, or Open Options where the access count is at or near 16 doors and the facility runs 220VAC distribution.
