Lifesafety Power FPO150-B100C8D8E2 150W Dual-Voltage Power Supply
Overview
The FPO150-B100C8D8E2 is a 150W distributed power supply designed to centralize 12VDC and 24VDC power distribution for access control, electronic locks, and auxiliary equipment in security installations. The unit delivers 4A at 12V and 4A at 24V, enabling you to power multiple lock controllers and peripheral devices from a single cabinet-mounted source. This consolidation reduces field wiring complexity and simplifies troubleshooting in multi-door or multi-zone deployments.
Power and Output Specification
The supply provides eight independently fused auxiliary outputs, each rated at 3A per circuit. This fused architecture protects downstream loads—individual circuit faults do not cascade to other outputs, a critical design choice for high-availability access control systems. Total available power is capped at 150W, so sizing depends on the combined demand of your locks and controllers. When integrating with access control systems, verify that the sum of lock holding current (typically 200–600mA per lock at 12V) and auxiliary loads does not exceed 4A per voltage rail.
Enclosure and Integration
The unit ships in an E2 enclosure, which houses the main distribution board and fused outputs. This mounting density suits both retrofit installations (retrofitting existing cabinet space) and greenfield deployments where a power supply must share cabinet real estate with an NVR, PoE switch, or existing alarm panel. Verify cabinet space and thermal airflow before commissioning, particularly in warm environments or installations with sustained 150W draw.
Installation Constraints
Coordinate input voltage source (typically 110–240VAC mains, stepped down by an external transformer if required) and verify all output circuits are terminated correctly before energizing. Do not exceed the 3A per-output limit on any single fused circuit; overloading will trip the fuse, isolating that output but preserving others. Consult the lock manufacturer's datasheet for precise holding and dropout current specifications before final wire gauge selection.
