Lifesafety Power FPO150/250-2C8P3D8PE8M2/P16-C 150W Dual-Voltage Power Supply
The FPO150/250-2C8P3D8PE8M2/P16-C is a 150W power supply delivering 12A at 12VDC or 6A at 24VDC—sized for distributed camera and access control installations where a centralized PoE switch isn't practical or where legacy 24V infrastructure already exists. The dual-voltage design eliminates the need for separate 12V and 24V units in mixed deployments.
Output capacity scales intelligently: at 12V, you can support 4–5 standard IP cameras (2.5–3A each) or 8–10 card readers; at 24V, current halves but voltage doubles, enabling longer cable runs without voltage drop—critical for remote camera nodes or expansive warehouse automation layouts where cabling distance exceeds 200 feet.
The model designation FPO150/250-2C8P3D8PE8M2/P16-C indicates eight 24VDC outputs (P3D8) and eight 12VDC outputs (P3D8) in a compact form factor, purpose-built for integrators deploying mixed-voltage systems in a single enclosure. This design reduces labor—one unit replaces two separate supply SKUs, cutting installation time and board real estate.
Compatibility
Works with any 12VDC or 24VDC powered endpoint: standard IP cameras, access control readers, magnetic locks, motion detectors, and auxiliary sensors. Not a replacement for IP cameras with native PoE support; use this for legacy analog upgrades or non-PoE IP deployments.
Installation Considerations
Verify input mains voltage (AC 110–240V, 50/60 Hz) matches your site standard. Output connectors require gauge-appropriate field wiring—12A at 12V demands heavier gauge than 6A at 24V to control voltage sag over distance. Confirm enclosure mounting space and thermal clearance; 150W continuous duty generates measurable heat—ensure unobstructed airflow or wall-mount in a cool location.
