Lifesafety Power FPO150-B100C4D8E4M 150W Power Supply Board
Overview
The FPO150-B100C4D8E4M is a 150-watt power supply board designed to distribute regulated DC voltage across multiple endpoints in access control, surveillance, and alarm system installations. Output selectable between 12VDC at 12A or 24VDC at 6A addresses the voltage preferences of legacy and modern security hardware. This form factor suits integration into enclosures, control panels, and distributed power nodes where space and consolidation matter.
Compatibility
This board functions as a central power supply for mixed-voltage security deployments. Verify input voltage and output connector types against your installation's control panel, access readers, sensors, and any powered IP cameras or door locks requiring 12V or 24V DC. Consult the system integrator documentation or contact the equipment vendor to confirm voltage compatibility before ordering.
Deployment Considerations
A 150W capacity supports moderate-scale distributed systems—roughly 12–15 door locks, multiple access readers, and auxiliary sensors on a single supply. In larger installations, engineers typically stage multiple boards or upgrade to higher-capacity variants. Verify thermal management: the board generates heat under load and requires adequate enclosure ventilation or airflow. Confirm input AC voltage availability and any isolation or surge protection requirements in your site's power infrastructure. When deploying alongside PoE switches for IP endpoints, remember that PoE and DC supplies serve different device classes—do not assume they are interchangeable.
When to Choose a Different Model
If your installation requires higher output current (e.g., 20A+ @ 12VDC), battery backup, or integrated supervision circuits, consult the Lifesafety Power catalog for higher-wattage or feature-rich variants. If you need sealed enclosure-mounted supplies rated for harsh outdoor environments, evaluate outdoor-rated power supply models instead.
