Altronix T1AAK3F4S TROVE1AA1 12/24VDC 6A Power Supply Kit with PDS8 FSD

Overview

The Altronix T1AAK3F4S bundles the TROVE1AA1 power supply with a PDS8 fused distribution board inside a single Trove1 enclosure — a compact, self-contained solution for powering small to mid-sized surveillance or access control installations. Operating from 120V AC / 60Hz, the supply delivers either 12VDC or 24VDC at up to 6A, with onboard battery backup via a 7AH sealed lead-acid or gel-type 12V DC battery. If you're powering a cluster of cameras, door controllers, or peripheral devices from a single cabinet, the T1AAK3F4S gives you the power, distribution, and standby capacity in one pre-matched assembly.

The Trove1 enclosure format is well established in the Altronix power lineup — a compact wall-mount cabinet designed to house power and distribution gear together, reducing field-assembly time and keeping installations tidy in IT closets or head-end rooms. Pairing it with the PDS8 fused distribution module means individual circuit protection per output, which matters in mixed-device installations where a fault on one run shouldn't take down the rest of the system.

Key Features

• Selectable 12VDC or 24VDC Output: Switch between output voltages to match your device mix — 12VDC for most IP cameras and peripherals, 24VDC for access control readers and door hardware. One supply covers both requirements without a second enclosure.
• 6A Continuous Output: Six amps at either voltage gives you practical headroom for 4–8 low-current devices, depending on draw. Size your load budget carefully and leave margin — a 6A supply running at 90% capacity in a warm cabinet will throttle life.
• PDS8 Fused Distribution: Eight individually fused outputs protect each circuit independently. A shorted camera run pulls its own fuse without affecting the other seven outputs — a meaningful operational advantage over unfused distribution strips in live facilities.
• 7AH Battery Backup: The 7AH sealed lead-acid or gel battery provides standby power during outages. Sealed lead-acid construction means no maintenance watering and tolerance for mounted-in-any-orientation installation. Runtime depends entirely on connected load — calculate your actual draw and divide into watt-hours to set realistic expectations.
• 120V AC / 60Hz Input: Standard North American mains input. Wire directly to a dedicated circuit; no step-down transformer or special wiring required in typical US commercial installations.
• Trove1 Enclosure: The compact Trove1 cabinet keeps power supply, distribution board, and battery co-located. Wall-mount footprint suits IDF closets, back-of-house installs, and above-ceiling head-end locations where rack space isn't available. See the broader range of access control power supplies for enclosure size comparisons.
• Factory-Matched Kit: Supply, distribution board, and enclosure are sourced and matched by Altronix — reducing the risk of compatibility gaps that arise when sourcing these components separately from different manufacturers. Consult a power planning guide to verify the load budget before specifying.

Integration & Compatibility

The T1AAK3F4S is compatible with 12VDC or 24VDC surveillance cameras, access control readers, door strikes, magnetic locks, and similar low-voltage security peripherals drawing from standard analog or IP ecosystems. The PDS8 distribution board accommodates up to eight independently fused device runs — plan your layout to group devices by circuit and label each fuse position for serviceability. Battery connection is internal to the enclosure; verify the battery charger curve of the TROVE1AA1 matches your selected 7AH cell chemistry (sealed lead-acid or gel are both specified as compatible). For larger installations requiring higher amperage or more distribution points, consider stepping up within the Altronix power supply family to a higher-capacity TROVE or AL-series unit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What output voltages does the T1AAK3F4S support?

A: The T1AAK3F4S supports selectable 12VDC or 24VDC output at up to 6A continuous, sourced from a 120V AC / 60Hz input.

Q: What battery type is compatible with this unit?

A: The T1AAK3F4S specifies a 7AH / 12V DC sealed lead-acid or gel-type battery for standby backup. Both chemistries are compatible per the product specification.

Q: How many device outputs does the PDS8 provide?

A: The PDS8 fused distribution board provides 8 independently fused outputs, so a fault on one circuit does not affect the remaining seven.

Q: Can the T1AAK3F4S power both cameras and access control devices simultaneously?

A: Yes — with selectable 12VDC or 24VDC output and 8 fused distribution points, you can power a mix of cameras, readers, and door hardware, provided total load stays within the 6A output rating at your chosen voltage.

Q: Is this a complete kit or do components need to be purchased separately?

A: The T1AAK3F4S is a factory-assembled kit combining the TROVE1AA1 power supply, PDS8 fused distribution board, and Trove1 enclosure. Battery installation is typically field-performed at commissioning.

The T1AAK3F4S is the kind of kit that makes small-to-mid commercial installs faster to close out — the TROVE1AA1 supply, PDS8 distribution board, and Trove1 enclosure arrive pre-matched, which removes one of the more tedious sourcing steps on a 6–12 device job. The selectable 12VDC or 24VDC output at 6A gives you flexibility across device types without sourcing a second supply for door hardware running at 24V.

Technical Highlights:

• Selectable Voltage (12V / 24V): Dual-voltage selection at a single 6A rating lets one enclosure serve camera clusters (12VDC) or access control door hardware (24VDC) — useful when the head-end serves a mixed device environment.
• PDS8 — 8 Fused Outputs: Individual fusing per circuit is the right architecture for any live facility where a wiring fault on one run can't be allowed to darken the whole distribution panel. Eight outputs cover most small-system layouts without a second distribution board.
• 7AH Battery Standby: A sealed 7AH / 12V DC cell provides UPS-style backup — sealed construction tolerates any mounting orientation and requires no maintenance. Runtime is load-dependent; calculate watt-hours against your actual device draw before promising a standby duration to the end user.

Deployment Considerations:

• The 6A output ceiling is the primary sizing constraint. Add up the peak draw of every connected device at your chosen voltage before committing — leave at least 20% headroom for inrush and thermal derating in enclosed cabinet environments.
• Battery is field-installed at commissioning; confirm your cell chemistry (SLA vs. gel) matches the charger profile of the TROVE1AA1 to avoid accelerated battery degradation in float-charge service.

The T1AAK3F4S fits best on small commercial jobs — a 4–8 camera retail or office install where you need clean, fused distribution with battery backup and don't want to spec and mount separate power, distribution, and battery components. It's a single-SKU answer to a common head-end layout problem.
