Altronix AL600ULACM — 8 Fused-Relay Outputs Access Power Controller (12/24 VDC @ 6A)

Altronix AL600ULACM Access Power Controller

The Altronix AL600ULACM is the 6 A version of the AL400ULACMCB — same 8-output multi-door architecture, but with fused-relay outputs rated 3.5 A each (10 A main fuse) and a higher 6 A total output current budget. Reach for this one when the door cluster’s combined draw is past the 4 A budget of the AL400ULACMCB, or when you want fused-relay outputs instead of PTC-protected ones.

What’s Confirmed by the Official Altronix Spec

These specifications come directly from Altronix’s published AL600ULACM product page:

• Input: 115 VAC, 60 Hz
• Outputs: 8 independently-controlled fused-relay outputs
• Output voltage: 12 VDC or 24 VDC selectable
• Total output current: 6 A continuous
• Output protection: fuses rated 3.5 A per output; ACM8 board main fuse 10 A
• Output mode: Fail-Safe and / or Fail-Secure (per output)
• Output conversion: power outputs can be converted to dry form “C” contacts
• Output trigger inputs: open-collector sink or normally-open (NO) dry trigger from access control panel / card reader / keypad / push button / PIR
• Fire alarm disconnect: latching or non-latching, individually selectable per output
• AC fail supervision: form “C” contacts; trigger 30 sec (factory) or 6 hr
• Battery charger: built-in for sealed lead-acid / gel batteries; max 0.7 A; zero voltage drop on switchover to battery backup
• Enclosure: BC400 indoor wall-mount

AL600ULACM vs. AL400ULACMCB — Pick Per Current Budget

Feature	AL600ULACM (this page)	AL400ULACMCB
Total current	6 A @ 12/24 VDC	4 A @ 12 VDC / 3 A @ 24 VDC
Outputs	8 fused-relay	8 PTC auto-resettable
Per-output rating	3.5 A fused	2.5 A PTC
AC fail supervision	Yes — form ‘C’ contacts	(per Altronix spec)
Best fit	Higher-current 8-door clusters; fused-relay preferred	Standard 8-door clusters; PTC auto-reset preferred

Where the AL600ULACM Wins in Chicago
