Altronix T3SH775CK1PQ Pre-Wired 24VDC Power Supply and Battery Cabinet
Overview
The Altronix T3SH775CK1PQ is a pre-wired, large-format power distribution cabinet engineered for commercial and industrial surveillance installations where centralized, battery-backed 24VDC power is a system requirement. At 84.2 lb and 36.12" x 30.125" x 7.06", this is not a compact shelf unit — it is a dedicated enclosure designed to anchor a serious multi-device deployment. The pre-wired configuration means wiring labor at the cabinet is dramatically reduced compared to field-assembled solutions, which matters when commissioning time is billed by the hour.

Key Features
- 24VDC @ 10A Regulated Output: Ten amps of regulated 24VDC gives you meaningful headroom for multi-camera or multi-device runs. If your average surveillance camera or access control reader draws 400–700mA, you can support 14–25 devices on a single supply before approaching the output ceiling — central power distribution done right.
- 120VAC / 60Hz Input at 4.5A Max: Standard North American single-phase input means this cabinet drops into any commercial electrical panel without special circuit requirements. At 4.5A draw, you are well within a standard 15A or 20A dedicated circuit, leaving room for other equipment on the same branch if needed.
- Integrated 12VDC / 12AH Battery Backup: A 12AH sealed lead-acid battery provides local UPS capability at the power source. For a typical 3–5A load, expect 1.5–3 hours of runtime during a mains outage — long enough to survive most brief power interruptions without dropping cameras or access control during the event you are trying to record. Size the battery run-time calculation against your actual connected load before spec-locking.
- 3A / 32V Output Fusing: Individual output fuses at 3A/32V protect downstream field wiring and devices from a fault cascade. A short on one circuit trips that fuse without collapsing the entire output bus — a meaningful operational advantage in multi-drop installations where troubleshooting a single zone should not take the whole system offline.
- Pre-Wired Configuration: The T3SH775CK1PQ ships factory pre-wired, reducing field termination errors and accelerating commissioning. On a large job with multiple cabinets, the labor savings per enclosure add up quickly against the alternative of assembling and wiring discrete components on site.
- CE European Conformity Listed: CE marking confirms this cabinet meets relevant EU directives for safety and electromagnetic compatibility — relevant for projects where equipment certifications are part of the submittal package, even on domestic installations that require documented agency compliance.
- Wide Operating Temperature Range: Rated 0°C to 49°C (32°F to 120°F) for operation and -20°C to 70°C for storage, this cabinet handles the temperature swings typical in utility rooms, mechanical spaces, and conditioned equipment rooms without derating. It is not rated for outdoor unenclosed environments — plan accordingly.
- Large Enclosure Footprint: At just over 36" tall and 30" wide, the cabinet provides generous interior space for battery, distribution hardware, and cable management. The 7.06" depth keeps the wall profile manageable, but confirm clearance behind the door before selecting the mounting wall.
Integration and Compatibility
The T3SH775CK1PQ is positioned within commercial surveillance power supply infrastructure as a centralized distribution point. The 24VDC output is consistent with the input voltage of a broad range of IP cameras, access control panels, and ancillary devices that accept 24VDC direct — verify the input voltage spec of each connected device before wiring. The 3A output fuses are field-replaceable standard automotive-style fuses, which means spares are available at any electrical supplier. This cabinet does not include a built-in distribution module with individually supervised outputs; if per-output supervision or remote monitoring is required, pair with an appropriate access control power distribution module. Battery charging circuitry is integrated — no external charger is needed for the included 12V/12AH cell. For large-scale deployments involving many such cabinets, consult a security power planning guide to calculate aggregate load, branch circuit requirements, and battery runtime per zone before finalizing the design.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the rated output of the T3SH775CK1PQ?
A: The T3SH775CK1PQ delivers 24VDC at up to 10A of regulated output current.
Q: Does the T3SH775CK1PQ include battery backup?
A: Yes. The cabinet includes a 12VDC / 12AH sealed battery. The battery charger is integrated — no external charger is required.
Q: What input power does the T3SH775CK1PQ require?
A: It requires 120VAC, 60Hz with a maximum input current draw of 4.5A — compatible with a standard North American 15A or 20A dedicated circuit.
Q: What is the fuse rating on the output circuits?
A: Output fuses are rated 3A at 32V. They protect individual distribution runs from fault cascades without collapsing the entire output bus.
Q: What are the physical dimensions and weight of the T3SH775CK1PQ?
A: The cabinet measures 36.12" x 30.125" x 7.06" and weighs 84.2 lb. Plan for two-person installation and confirm wall blocking or stud backing before mounting.
Q: Is the T3SH775CK1PQ rated for outdoor installation?
A: No. The operating temperature range is 0°C to 49°C and no outdoor or weatherproof rating is listed. Install in a conditioned or semi-conditioned interior space — a utility room, IDF closet, or dedicated equipment room.
The T3SH775CK1PQ is one of those pieces of infrastructure that does not get much discussion but determines whether the rest of the system holds up when the power company has a bad night. The integrated 12VDC/12AH battery with onboard charging and a 10A/24VDC regulated output in a single pre-wired enclosure is a legitimate time-saver on complex jobs — provided you go in knowing it is an 84.2 lb cabinet that needs two installers and solid wall backing.
Technical Highlights:
- 10A @ 24VDC Output: Ten amps supports 14–25 typical surveillance devices depending on individual draw — enough for a meaningful camera cluster or a mixed camera-plus-access-control zone off a single supply point.
- 12AH Battery Backup: At a mid-range 4–5A load, expect roughly 1.5–2.5 hours of runtime on battery. That is adequate for most utility outages, but on critical sites run the actual math against your real load before sign-off.
- 3A/32V Per-Circuit Fusing: Fault isolation at the output level means a wiring problem in one zone does not pull down adjacent zones — operationally important on a system where camera uptime is the entire point.
Deployment Considerations:
- At 84.2 lb and 36.12" tall, this is a two-person lift minimum. Pre-identify the mounting wall, confirm stud spacing or blocking, and have hardware staged before the cabinet arrives on the lift gate.
- The 0°C to 49°C operating range rules out unconditioned spaces in northern climates or high-heat mechanical rooms. If your equipment room routinely exceeds 49°C in summer, this cabinet will need supplemental ventilation or a different location.
This cabinet is the right call for a commercial facility — a mid-size warehouse, a campus building, or a multi-floor retail location — where centralizing 24VDC power distribution to a single managed point beats running individual supplies to each camera cluster. The pre-wired format pays back on any job with more than two or three of these enclosures in the design.
