Lifesafety Power FPO150-3D8PE8M2 150W Power Supply Board
Overview
The FPO150-3D8PE8M2 is a 150W power distribution board designed to supply and manage multiple access control or life-safety circuit boards in a single compact enclosure. It delivers either 12A at 12V or 6A at 24V from a single feed, plus 24 class 2 auxiliary DC outputs rated at 2.5A per output — useful for powering auxiliary sensors, lock strikes, request-to-exit buttons, and other low-draw devices across a distributed access control installation. The board mounts in a standard 30W × 36H × 4.5D enclosure with integrated backplate capable of holding up to eight Mercury or Lenel compatible control boards, making it the backbone for medium-scale access control or fire-alarm integration projects.
Compatibility
The FPO150-3D8PE8M2 is engineered to host Mercury and Lenel control boards — both industry-standard platforms for multi-door and multi-zone access control. The 24 auxiliary outputs are class 2 power-limited, meaning they work with low-voltage door strikes, electric locks, pushbuttons, motion sensors, and other auxiliary devices common in life-safety and access control designs. Verify your specific control boards (model numbers and revision level) fit the backplate geometry before purchase — backplate capacity is physical, not electronic.
Installation Notes
The enclosure accepts either a 12V primary feed at 12A or a 24V feed at 6A — confirm your incoming source voltage before wiring. Each of the 24 auxiliary outputs is independently fused or limited to 2.5A, so plan your load distribution across outputs to avoid nuisance shutdowns on high-draw strikes or solenoids. Standard 16 AWG wire is typical for auxiliary connections; consult your control board manual for exact terminal torque and wire gauge. Mount the backplate securely to prevent board rocking under vibration, and ensure adequate cooling airflow around the enclosure — the 150W dissipation can generate heat in fully loaded configurations.
