Lifesafety Power FPO150/250-2M8NLCSD16E8M3 Managed Power Distribution Module

Overview

The FPO150/250-2M8NLCSD16E8M3 is a managed power supply that delivers dual voltage outputs—either 150W at 12A/12V or 6A/24V, or 250W at 20A/12V or 10A/24V depending on your system needs. It includes an 8-port managed distribution module with individual 3A fused outputs, allowing you to provision power to multiple cameras, readers, or door locks from a single unit without daisy-chaining wall adapters. Ideal for compact server rooms, electrical closets, or cabinet-mounted surveillance and access control installations where space and cable management matter.

Compatibility

The FPO150/250-2M8NLCSD16E8M3 is compatible with any 12V or 24V networked security device that accepts hardwired DC power: IP cameras drawing under 3A per port, magnetic locks, electronic strikes, access control panels, and auxiliary PoE devices. Verify your specific camera or reader datasheet for nominal current draw—each of the 8 ports supplies up to 3A before the fuse trips, so a 2.8A camera uses most of one port's capacity. Not suitable for high-current devices (4A+) without load balancing across multiple ports or upgrading to a larger PSU.

Installation Notes

Mount the unit vertically or horizontally in a 19-inch rack, wall-mounted enclosure, or DIN-rail chassis using standard hardware. Terminate DC output to each endpoint using the appropriate gauge wire for the current draw—12-gauge minimum for runs over 50 feet to avoid voltage drop. The managed distribution module logs power events and port status, improving troubleshooting when devices fail; configure remote monitoring via Ethernet if your security management platform supports SNMP or vendor-specific protocols. Ensure adequate ventilation around the PSU; sustained operation near maximum wattage generates heat.
