Altronix new FireSwitch Power Distribution Modules are designed for use with access control locking devices and incorporate an FACP interface to unlock doors and enable emergency egress when fire alarms are activated. Three fused models are available: FireSwitch D4 (4-channels), FireSwitch D8 (8-channels) and the FireSwitch D16 (16-channels). The units convert a single low voltage AC or DC input into multiple fuse protected outputs routing power to the locking devices. The modules route and distribute up to 28VAC/28VDC @ 10 amps supplied current. Units include an LED power indicator. Also available are Altronix’s FireSwitch D4D, D8D and D16D Power Distribution Modules with resettable PTC protected outputs.

The HubWay 2I Video/Data/Power device provides centralized UTP video, RS422/RS-485 data and distributed camera power over a single CAT-5 or higher cable for distances up to 1000 feet. The new HubWay2I, is designed to accommodate video surveillance cameras lacking internal isolation transformers.

The Maxim 75D Access Power Controller interfaces with access control panels and myriad access control accessories and locking devices. The new unit converts a 115VAC 60Hz input into eight 12VDC and eight 24VDC independently controlled PTC protected outputs. The outputs can also be operated in both fail-safe and/or fail-secure modes. All outputs incorporate built-in selectable latching or non-latching fire alarm (FACP) interface.
