Lifesafety Power FPO150/250-2D82M8NLCE8S Dual-Output Managed Power Supply
Overview
The FPO150/250-2D82M8NLCE8S is a configurable managed power supply unit designed for distributed surveillance and access control installations where multiple endpoints require individually supervised, fused power distribution. The unit operates in two configurations: 150W (12A @ 12VDC or 6A @ 24VDC) or 250W (20A @ 12VDC or 10A @ 24VDC), allowing you to scale power delivery based on your endpoint density. The integral managed distribution module provides eight independently fused DC auxiliary outputs at 3A per output, each selectable for Bus1 or Bus2 operation. This separation prevents a single failing endpoint from cascading power loss across your entire system — critical in installations powering multiple IP cameras, door locks, or access readers from a single enclosure.
Key Specifications
Dual-Bus Architecture: Eight outputs split between Bus1 and Bus2 allow logical circuit separation. Each output is fused at 3A, protecting downstream devices from overcurrent without requiring external breaker panels. Enclosure Footprint: The E8 form factor (36H x 30W x 6.5D inches) fits standard 19-inch racks or wall-mount installations in equipment rooms, providing a compact footprint for multi-floor deployments. Voltage Flexibility: Support for both 12VDC and 24VDC regimes means you can configure the unit to match your existing infrastructure—12V for legacy analog access systems or 24V for modern powered endpoint standards.
Installation Considerations
Verify your total connected load does not exceed the selected configuration's rated amperage. Wire sizing and breaker protection upstream should follow the selected output voltage and current. The managed distribution module eliminates the need for external fusing blocks in many installations, reducing panel complexity and single points of failure.
When to Choose a Different Model
If your deployment requires integrated battery backup (UPS functionality), higher current density per output, or integrated PoE switch capability, consult the broader Lifesafety Power product line for supervised or battery-backed variants. The FPO150/250-2D82M8NLCE8S is distribution-focused, not UPS-focused.
