When 0E-PPS1640 Fits — 16.5 VAC AC Power
Pick the 0E-PPS1640 when the device requires 16.5 VAC primary AC power (not DC). Common 16.5 VAC-powered devices in Chicago commercial installations:
- Alarm panels (Honeywell Vista, DSC, Ademco — many require 16.5 VAC)
- Security keypads with backlight
- Video doorbells with auxiliary AC chime power
- Some intercom systems with 16.5 VAC input
For 24 VAC devices (some access control hardware, HVAC controls, larger doorbells), use the UltraTech 0E-PPS2420 instead.
For 12 / 24 VDC outputs (rather than VAC), the Altronix AL400ULX, AL600ULMX, or other Altronix DC supplies are the right pick.
