Customized Access Control Cans (Altronix Trove)

Author: Brian Rhodes, Published on Feb 14, 2017

Access control installs typically require hanging at least two or three different enclosure cans, each holding individual parts. Open wall space can be difficult to find for all these boxes, and troubleshooting through them all can be tough.

Altronix Trove enclosures do more than just hold power supplies; they are pre-configured to hold all the door controllers as well by combining everything into a single can.. Coupled with a browser based configuration tool, Altronix wants Trove to replace all other enclosures for access control designs.

But what systems does it make sense for? Which systems are supported and how much does it cost compared to traditional options? Inside we examine Altronix Trove in detail.
