Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What backup battery does this access control power supply support?
A: This power supply is compatible with 12V 7Ah sealed lead-acid batteries with a charging voltage of DC 12.5–14V. With a suitable battery connected, the system can continue operating for approximately 3–5 hours during a power outage. Note: the backup battery is not included.
Q: What is the difference between the KD1205 and KD1203 models?
A: The KD1205 provides a DC 12V 5A output, while the KD1203 provides a DC 12V 3A output. Choose the 5A model for systems with higher current demands (e.g., multiple locks or larger electromagnetic locks) and the 3A model for lighter-duty or single-lock installations.
Q: Is this power supply compatible with RFID card access control systems?
A: Yes. This unit is specifically engineered to power RFID card readers, electromagnetic locks, electric strikes, and associated access control accessories that require a stable 12V DC supply.
Q: What happens if there is a short circuit or overload on the output?
A: The power supply features intelligent fault protection. On an overload, output is gradually reduced to protect the connected equipment. On a short circuit, output shuts down immediately and a red LED flashes to indicate the fault. Once the fault condition is cleared, the unit automatically recovers — no manual reset required.
