Lifesafety Power FPO150-B100C8D8PE6B1 150W Dual Voltage Power Supply
Overview
The FPO150-B100C8D8PE6B1 is a 150W power supply rated for 120 VAC input, delivering either 12A at 12V or 6A at 24V output — standard voltage rails for surveillance camera systems, access control panels, and networked intercom equipment. This is a fixed dual-voltage unit suited to distributed installations where branch circuits cannot deliver isolated supplies to each camera or door controller, requiring a centralized backup or primary feed. The adjustable 5–18V output capability makes it compatible with a wider range of legacy and modern security devices that operate outside the strict 12V or 24V rails.
Compatibility
The FPO150-B100C8D8PE6B1 is compatible with surveillance and access control systems requiring 12V or 24V DC input — including dome and turret IP cameras drawing up to 12A @ 12V, access control readers and door strikes rated for 24V @ 6A, and outdoor strobe sirens or signal devices with similar voltage and current ratings. Confirm the voltage requirement and maximum current draw of each downstream device before deployment; if a single device draws more than 12A, you will need a higher-capacity supply or dedicated feeder. The adjustable output range (5–18V) allows integration with older pan-tilt-zoom motors and relay boards that expect non-standard voltages.
Installation Notes
Wire the FPO150 to a dedicated 120 VAC branch circuit; do not share it with high-inrush devices (HVAC, large motor loads) to avoid nuisance shutdowns due to voltage sag. Use appropriately sized copper wire for the AC input lead and the DC output runs — shorter DC runs reduce voltage drop, critical when daisy-chaining cameras or access devices. Verify the unit can be mounted in an accessible enclosure (not inside a sealed electrical box unless forced-air ventilation is present) to allow heat dissipation. If this supply is feeding outdoor cameras or door hardware, ensure the output wiring and connectors are rated for the environmental conditions — the supply itself should not be exposed to direct weather.
