Altronix T2MK7716DV 220VAC Power Distribution and Access Control Kit
Overview
The Altronix T2MK7716DV is a pre-integrated power distribution and access control kit built for commercial surveillance and access installations that run on 220VAC mains — an assembly that combines the TROVE2M2 enclosure, ULX16DR power supply, and 220PTC distribution module into a single, deploy-ready unit. Rather than sourcing and wiring three separate components, you receive a tested assembly in a 27.25" × 21.5" × 6.5" steel enclosure, sized to house up to four 12VDC/12AH batteries for on-site battery backup without an external battery cabinet. For integrators building out access control panels alongside camera infrastructure on 220VAC circuits — common in international deployments and US industrial facilities with 220V branch circuits — the T2MK7716DV eliminates field-assembly time and reduces wiring errors on the power backbone.
Sourced factory-new from the manufacturer, the T2MK7716DV ships as a complete kit ready for rack or wall installation. Browse the full Altronix surveillance power line for compatible accessories and expansion modules.
Key Features
- 220VAC Input Acceptance (198–256VAC range): The ULX16DR accepts a wide 220VAC input window — 198VAC to 256VAC — so line voltage sag on long branch runs won't drop the supply offline. For facilities where nominal voltage drifts during peak load, that tolerance range is the difference between a stable access system and nuisance resets.
- 24VDC / 10A Continuous Output: With 10 amps continuous at 24VDC, this kit comfortably powers a multi-door access control panel plus a populated camera distribution module simultaneously. At 240W continuous capacity, you have headroom to add readers, lock hardware, and camera nodes without revisiting the power budget on most small-to-medium installations.
- Four-Battery Backup Capacity (12VDC/12AH each): The enclosure accommodates four 12VDC/12AH batteries — up to 48AH total on-site reserve. Depending on the connected load, that translates to several hours of standby operation during a mains outage, meeting UL requirements for access control backup time on most door configurations without external battery enclosures.
- Dual-Voltage Distribution Module (12VDC and 24VDC): The 220PTC module accepts both 24VDC and 12VDC inputs and distributes either voltage to downstream devices. This matters in mixed installations where cameras, readers, and lock hardware pull different voltages — you're not forced to add a separate DC-DC converter to serve 12V devices off a 24V bus.
- PTC-Protected Outputs at 2.5A Per Circuit: Both the access controller outputs and the distribution module outputs are PTC (resettable fuse) protected at 2.5A. A short on one camera or lock circuit trips only that PTC, not the entire supply — a critical fault-isolation property on multi-door, multi-camera panels where a single wiring error shouldn't bring down the system.
- Integrated Enclosure (27.25" × 21.5" × 6.5"): The TROVE2M2 enclosure gives you a single lockable panel for the power supply, distribution module, access controller, and batteries. For installations subject to physical security requirements on the power distribution point — server rooms, data centers, retail back-of-house — having everything behind one locked door is a meaningful compliance advantage.
- Operating Temperature Range 0°C to 49°C: Rated to 49°C (120°F) continuous operation, this unit handles equipment room environments without active cooling, including enclosed mechanical rooms that can spike above ambient in summer. Factor the 289 BTU/Hr. heat dissipation into your enclosure ventilation plan — at full load in a sealed cabinet, heat buildup will be a real constraint.
- CE European Conformity Listing: The CE marking confirms the assembly meets European safety and EMC directives, which matters for export projects and US facilities that require EU-aligned documentation for corporate compliance audits.
Integration & Compatibility
The T2MK7716DV is designed to integrate with Altronix's LINQ and LINQ2 networked power management systems, allowing remote monitoring of voltage, current, and fault states per output circuit — a requirement on enterprise access control deployments where the panel is in an unmanned IDF closet. The 24VDC access controller input aligns with most major access control panel manufacturers' power input specifications, and the dual-voltage distribution module supports cameras and peripherals that require 12VDC. For larger installations, pair this unit with additional Altronix power distribution modules or expand via the TROVE platform's modular bays. Integrators planning multi-door deployments should review an access control power planning guide to size battery backup and distribution correctly before specifying this kit.
If your installation requires PoE camera power rather than direct 12/24VDC feeds, pair the T2MK7716DV with a dedicated PoE switch on the 24VDC bus using a DC-powered switch — the distribution module's 2.5A PTCs are not sized for high-wattage PoE injectors. For projects requiring 120VAC input instead of 220VAC, evaluate alternate Altronix kits in the TROVE product family before specifying this model.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What input voltage does the T2MK7716DV require?
A: The T2MK7716DV requires 220VAC input, with an acceptance range of 198VAC to 256VAC at 50/60Hz. It is not a dual-voltage unit and will not operate on standard 120VAC North American circuits without a step-up transformer.
Q: How many batteries can this kit accommodate, and what size?
A: The TROVE2M2 enclosure holds up to four 12VDC/12AH batteries internally. Batteries are not included in the kit and must be ordered separately.
Q: What is the total continuous output current of the T2MK7716DV?
A: The ULX16DR power supply delivers 10 amps continuous at 24VDC. Individual distribution outputs are PTC-protected at 2.5A per circuit, so total load must be distributed across circuits to stay within the per-output rating.
Q: Are the outputs fused or resettable?
A: All outputs use PTC (polymeric positive temperature coefficient) resettable overcurrent protection rated at 2.5A per circuit. A fault on one circuit trips only that PTC; the circuit resets automatically once the fault is cleared and the PTC cools.
Q: What certifications does the T2MK7716DV carry?
A: The T2MK7716DV carries CE European Conformity. No other agency listings are specified in the available documentation for this kit.
Q: Can the T2MK7716DV be monitored remotely?
A: The TROVE platform is designed for integration with Altronix LINQ networked power management, which enables per-output monitoring of voltage, current, and fault conditions. Confirm LINQ module compatibility with your access control system integrator before specifying.
The T2MK7716DV is a spec I reach for on international or industrial access control projects where the site runs 220VAC — the wide input tolerance (198–256VAC) is the detail that actually matters in facilities where the branch circuit voltage isn't dialed in, and pairing that with an integrated 27.25" × 21.5" enclosure that fits four 12AH batteries means you're not sourcing a separate battery cabinet or a second enclosure for the distribution gear.
Technical Highlights:
- 10A @ 24VDC Continuous: 240W headroom handles a multi-door access panel plus a populated camera distribution module simultaneously — meaningful on 4–8 door deployments where you'd otherwise need two separate supplies.
- Dual-Voltage Distribution (12VDC and 24VDC): The 220PTC module inputs and outputs both voltages, so 12V lock hardware and 24V readers can share the same distribution tier without adding a DC-DC converter stage.
- 289 BTU/Hr. Thermal Output: At full load the kit dissipates 289 BTU/Hr. — plan for ventilation or active cooling if this goes into a sealed enclosure in an unconditioned space above 35°C.
Deployment Considerations:
- This kit is 220VAC input only — confirm branch circuit voltage before specifying. A 120VAC site needs a different Altronix TROVE configuration, not a transformer workaround on this unit.
- The four-battery bay is a physical capacity spec; batteries are not included. Size your backup time calculation against the actual connected load before ordering batteries, since 4 × 12AH at 24VDC behaves differently depending on whether you're wired in series or parallel.
This assembly is the right call for export projects, US industrial facilities with dedicated 220V panels, or any deployment where housing the power supply, distribution module, access controller, and battery reserve behind one locked door is a code or physical security requirement — a hospital equipment room or a secured IDF closet being the clearest examples.
