Altronix Corp T1656 Open Frame Transformer 16VAC 56VA

Product Description

The ALTRONIX CORP T1656 is an open frame transformer rated at 16 volts AC and 56 volt-amperes (VA). It is designed to step down standard line voltage to a low-voltage AC output, making it a core power supply component in access control panels, security systems, and low-voltage alarm circuits. The open frame construction provides direct access to terminals and allows for straightforward mounting in enclosures or panels. Licensed security and low-voltage technicians are the primary installers of this unit.

This transformer suits residential and light commercial applications where a reliable 16VAC power source is required. Common install scenarios include powering access control boards, door strike power supplies, and ancillary security panel components. Its 56 VA output capacity supports typical low-voltage load requirements found in single-panel security and access control installations.

Key Features

• 16 volts AC output for low-voltage system compatibility
• 56 VA capacity supports moderate panel and accessory loads
• Open frame design allows easy terminal access and flexible mounting
• Single-unit packaging for straightforward stocking and installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install transformer for low-voltage access control, security, and alarm panel applications requiring a 16VAC, 56VA power source.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or licensed electrical technician in accordance with NEC Article 725 and applicable local codes. Disconnect and lock out all power to the panel or enclosure before handling or wiring the transformer. Ensure the enclosure provides adequate clearance and ventilation around the open frame unit. Do not exceed the rated 56 VA load to avoid overheating or damage.
