Lifesafety Power FPO150/250-4D8E8P 150W Power Supply Board
Overview
The FPO150/250-4D8E8P is a 150W power supply board from Lifesafety Power designed to centralize 12VDC or 24VDC distribution across multi-camera installations and access control systems. The dual-voltage design—12A at 12VDC or 6A at 24VDC—lets you match the supply to your powered endpoints without additional conversion hardware. This form factor supports densely packed security deployments where board real estate and efficient power handling are priorities.
Compatibility
The FPO150/250-4D8E8P integrates into Lifesafety Power enclosures and works with any IP cameras, door locks, or other security devices rated for 12VDC or 24VDC operation. Confirm your endpoint power draw against the board's maximum current rating to prevent overload—a 12A/12V supply, for example, supports up to 144W of total connected load at that voltage. If pairing with a PoE switch in a hybrid PoE + hardwired DC architecture, use this board for non-PoE devices only (IR illuminators, access control readers, auxiliary solenoids) to avoid voltage conflicts.
Installation Notes
Verify input voltage compatibility with your facility's AC power available at the enclosure location. Output terminals are screw-down connectors—wire gauges and torque specifications depend on the cable diameter and insulation type; consult the board documentation or your integrator's standards for 12A and 6A conductor sizing. The board operates within standard commercial temperature ranges; confirm your enclosure provides adequate ventilation if ambient temperature approaches 40°C (104°F), as thermal buildup reduces effective current capacity. Backorder status may apply; confirm availability before finalizing the installation schedule.
