Lifesafety Power FPO150-B100C8D8E4A/P8-A 150W Dual-Output Power Supply
Overview
The FPO150-B100C8D8E4A/P8-A is a 150W regulated power supply designed to distribute power across dual voltage rails in access control and security integration deployments. The unit provides simultaneous 4A output at both 12VDC and 24VDC, allowing you to power mixed 12V and 24V loads from a single enclosure—eliminating the need for separate supplies and reducing panel real estate.
Output Configuration
This model delivers 150W total capacity split across two independent output voltages: 12VDC at 4A and 24VDC at 4A. The power distribution includes 8 lock outputs and 8 auxiliary outputs, enabling control of electric strikes, magnetic locks, solenoids, and monitoring relays on the same panel. Factory-wired with 8DBC connectors and Panduit termination reduces installation labor by eliminating manual wiring and splicing inside the enclosure.
Integration Context
Dual-voltage supplies like the FPO150-B100C8D8E4A/P8-A solve a common integrator pain point: heterogeneous hardware. Access control systems often mix 12V readers and keypads with 24V door strikes and auxiliary equipment. Consolidating both rails under one unit simplifies circuit management, reduces troubleshooting surface area, and ensures load-balanced current delivery—critical for maintaining voltage stability under peak draw scenarios such as simultaneous strike activation.
Installation Considerations
Confirm input power availability (standard 110–240VAC assumed from the 150W designation). Mount in a secure enclosure with adequate ventilation; heat dissipation becomes important under sustained full-load conditions. Verify that total connected 12V load does not exceed 4A and total 24V load does not exceed 4A to prevent nuisance shutdowns or fuse trips. Pre-plan your lock and auxiliary circuit allocation before wiring.
