Lifesafety Power FPO150/250-2C8PE2 Dual-Voltage Auxiliary Power Supply
Overview
The FPO150/250-2C8PE2 is a 150W power supply delivering either 12A at 12V or 6A at 24V — sized for mid-scale surveillance installations where you're powering multiple 12V or 24V devices (strobes, relays, door locks, remote readers) from a central panel. The unit provides eight independently selectable outputs, each limited to 2.5A per channel, allowing you to segment load distribution across Bus1 or Bus2 without overloading a single rail. Built into an E4 enclosure (24H × 20W × 6.5D inches) with a Mercury backplate, it mounts standard in rack or wall configurations typical of access control and fire alarm integration scenarios.
Compatibility
This supply is compatible with Lifesafety Power's distributed power architecture — verify your control panel or repeater module manual for Bus1/Bus2 port availability. Typical deployments include Lifesafety Power panel systems and third-party access control hubs that accept Class 2 power-limited auxiliary sources. Each of the eight outputs is selectable between Bus1 and Bus2, letting you balance loads across redundant power paths if your system topology requires it. Confirm your end device voltage requirement (12V or 24V) before ordering — this supply runs one voltage at a time, not both simultaneously.
Installation Notes
The FPO150/250-2C8PE2 is Class 2 power-limited, meaning output terminals are inherently safe for low-voltage field wiring — no additional current-limiting devices needed per NEC/UL. Mount the E4 enclosure vertically on DIN rail or into standard 24-inch cabinet depths. Connect the main 120V AC inlet to a dedicated 15A branch circuit; do not share with logic or data circuits to avoid ground-loop noise. Wire outputs as 2.5A class circuits — bundle associated field loads per output channel to maintain clarity in troubleshooting. The Mercury backplate provides shielding for EMI; ensure it makes full contact with cabinet or DIN rail ground.
