Lifesafety Power FPO150/250-2C8P3D8PE8M2/P16-A 16-Channel Power Supply

The Lifesafety Power FPO150/250-2C8P3D8PE8M2/P16-A is a 400W multi-output power supply designed for distributed surveillance, access control, and auxiliary security loads. This unit delivers 12A at 12V and 10A at 24V across 16 independently protected channels, making it suitable for mid-scale camera and door-control deployments where centralized power distribution reduces wiring complexity and improves fault isolation.

Overview

Built for commercial security installations, the 16DR E8M2 configuration supports up to 16 separate load circuits with individual overcurrent protection on each channel. The 400W total capacity handles mixed loads—combining camera power draws (typically 5–15W per IP camera), electromagnetic lock currents (up to 500mA per door at 12V), and auxiliary control circuits (relay panels, sensors, intercoms) without requiring multiple supply units scattered across the installation. The dual-voltage output (12V and 24V rails) accommodates legacy and modern equipment in the same rack, eliminating the need for separate power supplies per voltage standard.

Compatibility

The FPO150/250-2C8P3D8PE8M2/P16-A integrates with standard 19-inch rack enclosures and pairs with Panduit wiring infrastructure (per evidence: Wired 1502/MR52 Panduit connectors). Compatible with industry-standard surveillance equipment expecting 12V or 24V DC power input—IP cameras, PoE injectors, door access control modules, CCTV baluns, and 12/24V auxiliary solenoid or relay circuits. Suits networked installations using Lifesafety Power control modules, as well as standalone deployments requiring only regulated DC distribution.

Installation Notes

Mount in a climate-controlled equipment rack or wall-mounted enclosure with adequate ventilation; 400W continuous output requires airflow to prevent thermal throttling. Each of the 16 channels is independently fused or circuit-protected—verify individual channel load ratings before deploying. Panduit connectors (1502/MR52) are standard on output terminals; ensure compatible termination hardware is on-site before installation. Individual channel current limits should match the lowest-current device on that circuit to avoid nuisance trips on high-inrush loads (e.g., solenoids or large relay coils—consider soft-start modules if surges are frequent).
