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 →

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 →
| 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 |
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 |
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.
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.
