Lifesafety Power FPO150-2D8E8S 120 VAC UPS Power Backup
Overview
The Lifesafety Power FPO150-2D8E8S is a 150W uninterruptible power supply (UPS) rated for 120 VAC input, purpose-built for Software House Unified Power Systems environments. This unit delivers backup power to access control readers, door locks, intercoms, and auxiliary surveillance peripherals during mains failure — critical when you need the security perimeter to stay active through a power event. The 16 auxiliary outputs mean you can distribute power to multiple device classes (card readers, electric strikes, mag locks, signage) from a single battery-backed source, eliminating daisy-chaining and reducing point-of-failure risk.
Compatibility
The FPO150-2D8E8S integrates directly into Software House Unified Power Systems architectures, where it serves as the battery-backup hub for 120 VAC access control and life-safety peripherals. It is compatible with Software House software platforms and third-party systems that accept standard 120 VAC UPS inputs and auxiliary power feeds. Verify compatibility with your existing Software House controller or system integrator before deployment, as power distribution requirements and firmware revisions can affect auxiliary output assignment.
Installation Notes
Install the FPO150-2D8E8S in a temperature-controlled cabinet or utility closet with adequate ventilation — do not mount in direct sunlight or high-temperature environments. The unit accepts standard 120 VAC mains input via hardwired terminal blocks; do not use extension cords. All 16 auxiliary outputs are individually fused and configurable for load distribution. Consult the manufacturer's installation guide for output voltage ratings and maximum wattage per auxiliary circuit — exceeding rated load on a single output will trip its fuse protection. Ensure the battery is installed and conditioned per manufacturer instructions before powering peripherals; a new or long-idle battery may not provide full capacity until the first 2–3 charge cycles.
