Lifesafety Power FPO150/250-2C83D8PE8M2/P16-A 16-Relay Power Supply
The FPO150/250-2C83D8PE8M2/P16-A is a 400W pre-wired power supply designed for access control and surveillance camera deployments where you need regulated 12V and 24V outputs on separate rails without building custom harnesses. The 16-relay configuration (16DR) with dual voltage (DV) designation means 16 independent relay circuits that can be wired for both lock control and auxiliary device switching — door strikes, mag locks, exit devices, alarm relays, and camera power distribution all from a single supply.
Overview
This is a Mercury-series pre-wired unit manufactured to Lifesafety Power specifications. The designation E8M2 indicates 8 outputs at 12A/12V and 8 outputs at 10A/24V, eliminating the need to provision separate 12V and 24V regulators for mixed-voltage installations. Pre-wired configuration means terminal blocks and relay logic are factory-assembled — you wire incoming AC power and outlet loads, not internal harnesses. 400W total capacity supports simultaneous lock solenoids, camera PoE injectors, and backup battery charging circuits without over-subscribing any single rail. The P16-A suffix denotes the standard 16-relay module configuration.
Compatibility
The FPO150/250-2C83D8PE8M2/P16-A integrates with Lifesafety Power panel systems and third-party access control panels (Apollo, Lenel, Honeywell, Software House) via standard relay and 24V/12V auxiliary connections. It works with Panduit terminal blocks and runs on standard 150–250VAC input. Pre-wired harness conforms to 1502/MR52 wiring standards. Suitable for surveillance power distribution racks alongside camera PoE switches when you need dedicated relay switching for door locks, auxiliary alarms, or strobe control in integrated security systems.
Installation Notes
Incoming AC power requires 150–250VAC 50/60 Hz single-phase input. Relay outputs are pre-wired and individually fused — verify load ratings (12A @ 12V, 10A @ 24V per relay) against your lock/device amperage. Door strikes typically draw 0.8–1.2A; mag locks draw 0.5–2.5A depending on size. Each relay can be cross-wired for different voltage if needed — no field reconfiguration of internal modules required. Mount in a standard equipment rack or wall-mounted enclosure with adequate ventilation; passive cooling handles continuous operation without active exhaust. Confirm all load calculations before commissioning to avoid nuisance fuse blows.
