Altronix T2MK77V TROVE2 Access Control Power and Controller Enclosure Kit
Overview
The Altronix T2MK77V is a factory-configured integration kit built around the TROVE2 enclosure platform, combining an ULX-series power supply, a Mercury controller board, and 20A/220VAC power capacity into a single deployable assembly. For integrators managing access control infrastructure, pre-assembled kits like this eliminate the sourcing and bench-assembly steps that slow deployment — the controller, power, and enclosure ship as a tested, matched set.
Altronix's TROVE platform is a well-established enclosure standard in the commercial access control market, designed to house power supplies, controller boards, and ancillary hardware in a single organized chassis. The T2MK77V variant specifies Mercury-compatible controller hardware, making it relevant to integrators running Mercury-based access platforms — including systems managed through Lenel, Software House, Honeywell Pro-Watch, and other Mercury-ecosystem VMS/ACS platforms.
Key Features
- Integrated enclosure-plus-power assembly: The TROVE2 chassis pairs with the ULX power supply so you're not mixing and matching separate components on-site — reduces commissioning time and ensures the power supply is correctly rated for the enclosure footprint from the factory.
- 20A/220VAC power input: The 220VAC, 20A input rating is specified for installations where 120VAC branch circuits are not available or where the panel location demands a dedicated 220V feed — common in larger commercial facilities and international deployments.
- Mercury controller board: The MERC designation targets Mercury-protocol controller hardware, keeping this kit within the broadest compatible ACS ecosystem. Mercury controllers are supported natively by a wide range of enterprise access control software platforms, so existing head-end investments are preserved.
- Active production status: The T2MK77V carries an active production status from Altronix, meaning replacement parts, firmware, and manufacturer support remain available — a meaningful consideration when specifying hardware that may be in service for a decade or more.
- 14 lb assembled weight: At 14 lbs, the kit is wall-mount practical — two-person installation is straightforward, and standard backbox anchoring applies without special structural reinforcement in most commercial wall assemblies.
Integration and Compatibility
The Mercury controller board in this kit operates within the established Mercury hardware ecosystem. Integrators working with Lenel OnGuard, Software House C•CURE 9000, Honeywell Pro-Watch, Genetec Security Center, or other Mercury-compatible platforms can integrate this kit without additional interface hardware. Confirm firmware version compatibility with your specific head-end software revision before deployment. For access control power supply sizing, verify that the 20A/220VAC input aligns with the available branch circuit at the installation location — a dedicated circuit is recommended.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What access control software platforms are compatible with the T2MK77V?
A: The T2MK77V includes a Mercury controller board, which is supported by a broad range of enterprise ACS platforms including Lenel OnGuard, Software House C•CURE 9000, Honeywell Pro-Watch, and Genetec Security Center, among others. Confirm specific firmware and version compatibility with your software vendor before deployment.
Q: What is the input voltage requirement for the T2MK77V?
A: The T2MK77V is rated for 220VAC at 20A input. This is important to verify against your available branch circuit before specifying — it is not a standard 120VAC unit.
Q: Is the T2MK77V a pre-assembled kit or do components ship separately?
A: The T2MK77V is a factory-configured kit combining the TROVE2 enclosure, ULX power supply, and Mercury controller board as an integrated assembly. Confirm exact package contents with your supplier prior to ordering.
Q: What does the T2MK77V weigh, and does it require special mounting?
A: The assembled kit weighs 14 lbs. Standard commercial wall-mount anchoring is appropriate for most installations. A two-person lift is advisable during mounting.
The T2MK77V is one of the configurations I recommend when a site calls for a Mercury-based door controller and the electrical infrastructure runs 220VAC — the 20A/220VAC input rating is not something you find on every Altronix TROVE kit, and specifying the wrong input voltage at the panel stage creates real re-work on commissioning day.
Technical Highlights:
- 220VAC / 20A Input: Specified for facilities where 120VAC branch runs are not available at the panel location — international sites, industrial floors, or large commercial buildings with dedicated 220V feeds to IDF/MDF rooms.
- Mercury Controller Board: Keeps the kit native to the Mercury hardware ecosystem, meaning no gateway or protocol translator is needed to hand off to Lenel, C•CURE, Pro-Watch, or Genetec head-end platforms.
- TROVE2 Enclosure Platform: A known quantity in the commercial integrator market — consistent form factor, organized cable management, and power supply mounting that field techs are already familiar with wiring.
Deployment Considerations:
- Verify branch circuit availability at the installation point before specifying — this is a 220VAC unit, and retrofitting the electrical feed after the enclosure is mounted adds scope that rarely gets budgeted in advance.
- Confirm Mercury firmware version compatibility with your specific ACS head-end software build; Mercury ecosystem platforms vary in controller firmware support across releases, and a version mismatch can delay commissioning.
Best fit for enterprise access control deployments in commercial facilities where 220VAC is the available supply, Mercury-compatible ACS software is already the head-end standard, and the integrator needs a single factory-matched power-plus-controller assembly rather than sourcing three separate components.
