Lifesafety Power FPO150/250-2C82D8E4M1 16-Door Unified Power System
Overview
The FPO150/250-2C82D8E4M1 is a 16-door MCLASS unified power system rated for 400W output at 24VDC. It consolidates power distribution for access control readers, lock controllers, and auxiliary security devices into a single enclosure, eliminating the need for multiple individual power supplies across a facility. This reduces wiring complexity, lowers installation labor, and simplifies troubleshooting when power supervision or redundancy is required at the door level.
Power Specifications
The unit delivers 24VDC output, a standard voltage for electromagnetic locks, strike plates, request-to-exit sensors, and many integrated access control systems. 400W capacity across 16 outputs supports distributed loads typical in mid-to-large access control deployments without oversubscription. Total power budget depends on per-door device consumption—typical electromagnetic locks draw 0.5–1.5A at 24V; supervising a full door with lock, reader, and sensor can reach 2–3A per circuit. The 16 outputs allow flexible per-door or per-zone allocation.
When to Choose a Different Model
If your deployment requires fewer than 8 doors, consider a smaller MCLASS unit in the Lifesafety Power product line to reduce enclosure footprint and cost. If you need battery backup for sustained operation during mains failure, or if your facility requires 12VDC output for legacy devices, verify battery and voltage options with the manufacturer—this model's specifications do not confirm integrated UPS or dual-voltage capability.
Integration & Installation Considerations
The FPO150/250-2C82D8E4M1 integrates with standard access control panels and door controllers that accept 24VDC input. Verify that your access control system's power specifications match the supply output and that per-circuit load calculations do not exceed individual breaker or output channel limits. Enclosure mounting and wiring standards follow NFPA 70 and local electrical code; use a licensed electrician for hardwired AC feed and main breaker integration. Supervision and status monitoring depend on your panel's ability to report power faults.
