Lifesafety Power FPO150/250-2D8PE8S Dual Voltage Power Supply/Charger System
Overview
The FPO150/250-2D8PE8S is a redundant power supply-battery charger system housed in a painted steel, locking enclosure with tamper switch. It addresses distributed security deployments requiring dual independent power feeds with selectable voltage output and integrated battery backup. The unit contains two FPO power supplies, each independently configurable for 12VDC or 24VDC operation, making it suitable for mixed-voltage camera and access control ecosystems where a single unified power infrastructure is preferred over multiple dedicated supplies.
Core Configuration
The FPO150/250-2D8PE8S provides 16 auxiliary DC outputs distributed across both internal power supplies. Each output is selectable to draw from either supply, enabling flexible load balancing and redundancy without requiring external selector modules. This is particularly useful when deploying IP cameras and edge devices that demand isolated power feeds or when integrating with PoE switches that require backup 12VDC auxiliary power for console or management interfaces.
The painted steel enclosure with integral locking mechanism and integrated battery space supports on-premise battery backup installation, allowing sites to maintain critical camera and access control power during AC mains failure—essential for facilities where video retention during power loss is a compliance or operational requirement.
Deployment Considerations
The dual-voltage architecture reduces SKU proliferation in multi-building or multi-tenant deployments. Tamper switch integration signals enclosure intrusion, supporting physical security monitoring. The system is dimensioned for wall or rack mount installation in closets, telecom rooms, or distributed power nodes. Selectable output assignment requires manual configuration during commissioning—plan for this during load mapping.
Verify your endpoint voltage requirements (12V vs. 24V) and amp-per-output draw before installation. The enclosure's locking design necessitates keyed access for maintenance or battery replacement.
