Von Duprin Power Supply

Von Duprin PS900 Series: The Industry Standard for Panic Power

Von Duprin power supplies are engineered specifically to handle the high-inrush current required by electrified panic hardware like the 99-series EL and QEL devices. At Lock Depot, we don't just sell boxes; we provide the genuine Allegion option boards and base units needed to ensure your life-safety system meets code and stays operational 24/7.

Pro Tip: Upgrading to a "FA" (Fire Alarm) version board like the 900-8P-FA allows for instant integration with your building's fire panel without the need for additional external relays. Shop all Fire Alarm boards →

Understanding PTC vs. Fused Protection

One of the most common questions we get is whether to use the PTC (auto-reset) boards or the Fused boards.

PTC (900-8P-FA): These are "solid-state" breakers. If there is a short at the door, the PTC trips and then auto-resets once the fault is fixed. This is the gold standard for reducing service calls — no more driving back to a job site just to replace a blown glass fuse after a power surge. Shop all PTC boards →

Fused (900-8F-FA): These use traditional glass fuses. While they require manual replacement, they are preferred by some engineers for absolute circuit isolation in high-security environments where you want to know exactly which circuit faulted. Shop all Fused boards →

Which Base Power Supply Do I Need?

Model Output Inrush Best For
Standard Base Units
PS902 2A @ 12/24 VDC Standard Small systems — 1-2 doors with high draw or up to 8 low-draw maglocks
PS904 4A @ 12/24 VDC Standard Mid-range multi-door installations with multiple expansion boards
PS906 6A @ 12/24 VDC Standard Maximum capacity for large installations with high total draw
High-Inrush (EL/QEL Applications)
PS914 4A @ 12/24 VDC 16A Inrush Electric Latch Retraction (EL) — standard supplies can't handle the kick
Retrofit & Upgrade
PS914RFK 4A @ 12/24 VDC 16A Inrush Retrofit PS914 into existing PS873 cabinet without replacing enclosure

Battery Backup & Accessories

Need battery backup for your system? Here's the breakdown:

Part What It Is When You Need It
900-BBK Complete battery backup kit (board + 2x 7A/hr batteries) New installations requiring battery backup — up to 4 hours runtime
900-BB Battery backup board only (no batteries) You already have batteries, just need the board
900-BAT Replacement batteries (2x 7A/hr) Existing backup board with dead batteries — swap and go
900-FA Standalone fire alarm relay module Add fire alarm to existing non-FA board without swapping it
900-KL Key lock for enclosure cover (2 brass keys) Specs requiring tamper-proof enclosures — government, institutional

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add a fire alarm relay to an existing PS902 or PS914?

Yes. You can either add the standalone 900-FA relay module to your existing setup, or replace your current distribution board with an "FA" version like the 900-8P-FA to save cabinet space.

Are Von Duprin PS900 power supplies compatible with other brands?

While designed for Von Duprin, the PS900 series provides standard 12/24VDC regulated power, making them compatible with Schlage, Adams Rite, Falcon, and other electrified hardware that operates on 12 or 24 VDC. The distribution boards and relay controls are designed specifically for Von Duprin devices, but the base power output works universally.

How long does the 900-BBK battery backup last during a power outage?

The 900-BBK includes two 7A/hr batteries that provide up to 4 hours of backup power, depending on total system load. If your batteries are dead, grab the 900-BAT replacement set.

What is the difference between the 900-4R and 900-4RL?

The 900-4R is a straight 4 relay distribution board. The 900-4RL adds integrated logic for security interlocking. If your spec calls for mantrap, airlock, or sally port configurations, you need the 4RL.

Can I retrofit a PS873 with a current PS914?

Yes — the PS914RFK (Retrofit Kit) fits the PS914 into the existing PS873 enclosure without replacing the cabinet.

What is the difference between the PS904 and PS914?

Both deliver 4 amps of continuous 12/24 VDC. The PS914 handles 16A inrush current for Electric Latch Retraction (EL/QEL) motors. The PS904 has standard inrush for maglocks, strikes, and non-motorized devices at a lower price.
