Lifesafety Power FPO150/250-2C8P2D8PE8M1 Dual-Voltage Power Supply Enclosure
Overview
The FPO150/250-2C8P2D8PE8M1 is a 400W dual-voltage power supply enclosure designed for access control systems, security integrations, and surveillance infrastructure requiring simultaneous 12V and 24V output. The 16-slot Mercury relay configuration (2C8P2D8PE8M1 denotes the relay arrangement: two common, eight positive, two default, eight positive/enable, eight modules) supports up to 16 circuits with individual relay-controlled distribution. This enclosure format solves the multi-voltage supply problem in mixed-technology installations — door readers, locks, and cameras operating on different voltage standards from a single managed source.
Compatibility
The FPO150/250-2C8P2D8PE8M1 integrates with access control panels, security management systems, and surveillance power distribution networks that require Mercury relay switching and dual-voltage sourcing. Compatible with systems using 12V auxiliary circuits (sensors, LED notification, low-voltage logic) and 24V primary loads (high-current locks, door operators, powered readers). The E8M1 enclosure rating supports standard rack and surface mounting in commercial security installations. Verify relay configuration with your control panel documentation — the 2C8P2D8PE8M1 arrangement is specific to this model and not interchangeable across the FPO series without circuit re-mapping.
Installation Notes
The 36H × 30W × 4.5D enclosure dimensions fit standard 19-inch rack rails and wall-mount brackets. Incoming AC power (line voltage specified on the unit nameplate) connects to the main terminal block; 12V and 24V regulated outputs distribute through the Mercury relay array to individual circuit terminals. Wire gauge and torque specifications are model-specific — consult the printed wiring diagram affixed inside the enclosure door. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit; the 400W thermal load requires unobstructed airflow, especially in continuous-duty applications. Test relay closure and voltage regulation before commissioning.
