Lifesafety Power FPO150-B100C8D8PE4M/P8-A 150W Access Control Power Supply with Relay Lock Control
Overview
The FPO150-B100C8D8PE4M/P8-A is a 150W rackmount power supply purpose-built for access control and electronic lock management in mid-scale security installations. It delivers 12A at 12VDC or 6A at 24VDC — sufficient to power mag locks, door readers, and control electronics across a single control zone. The unit combines primary power distribution with onboard relay switching, eliminating the need for separate relay modules in compact deployments.
Key Specifications & Deployment Context
Eight fused relay lock control outputs rated 3A per channel allow independent control of electric locks or solenoid gates. Each output is field-selectable for failsafe, failsecure, or FAI (Fire Alarm Interface) operation — critical when specifying locking behavior during power loss or alarm conditions. Eight additional Class 2 DC auxiliary outputs at 2.5A per channel, distributed across two independently switchable buses (Bus1/Bus2), enable parallel supervision, indicator lights, or secondary control signals without consuming primary relay capacity. Fusing on lock outputs protects against short-circuit faults; Class 2 power limiting on auxiliary outputs meets life safety code requirements for low-voltage control wiring.
Compatibility & Installation
The FPO150-B100C8D8PE4M/P8-A integrates with door access control panels, badge readers, and electronic locking hardware supporting 12 or 24VDC inputs. Dual-voltage output selection (via onboard jumper) suits mixed-equipment environments. The B100 control board, C8 configuration jumpers, and D8 Flex Cable Kit 3 (included in documentation) provide field-configurable bus and output assignment. Verify your control panel's voltage requirement and relay contact rating before deployment — this unit's 3A per-relay limit is suitable for mag locks and solenoid gates but not direct motor loads.
