Lifesafety Power FPO150/250-2M8NLCSD16E8M2 Managed Power Distribution Module
Overview
The FPO150/250-2M8NLCSD16E8M2 is a dual-supply managed power distribution unit (PDU) designed for IP security systems requiring redundant power supply architecture and individual outlet supervision. This configuration supports either 150W or 250W primary supplies, with 8 individually fused outputs rated at 3A per channel—eliminating nuisance breaker trips from single-device faults and simplifying troubleshooting in multi-camera or multi-appliance deployments. The unit houses a 16-output Mercury back plate within an E8 enclosure (36H × 30W × 6.5D inches), enabling dense wiring and integration of powered endpoints across warehouse automation, perimeter surveillance, and access control systems.
Compatibility
This PDU integrates into Lifesafety Power infrastructure ecosystems supporting 12VDC and 24VDC endpoints. Confirm compatibility with your specific IP cameras, sensors, and access control devices by verifying voltage and amperage requirements against the 12A/12V or 6A/24V (150W) and 20A/12V or 10A/24V (250W) output configurations. The dual-supply topology pairs with standard PoE switch deployments where high-current endpoints (door strikes, heaters, strobes) require dedicated DC rails separate from network PoE delivery.
Installation Notes
The E8 enclosure dimensions (36H × 30W × 6.5D inches) accommodate standard 19-inch rack mounting or wall placement. The Dual FPO Buss/Flex Cable Kit 3 (included in this configuration) provides cross-connection between primary and secondary supplies, ensuring seamless failover if one supply fails. Each fused 3A output protects downstream devices—verify total connected load does not exceed the supply rating (150W or 250W) and that individual circuits do not exceed 3A per output. Fuses are field-replaceable; use Lifesafety Power OEM fuse assemblies only to maintain warranty coverage.
