Lifesafety Power FPO150-B100C8D8PE6M/P8-A 150W Multi-Output Power Supply
Overview
The FPO150-B100C8D8PE6M/P8-A is a 150W power supply designed for distributed security and access control infrastructure. It delivers switchable 12VDC at 12A or 24VDC at 6A, making it suitable for powering door strikes, magnetic locks, readers, and auxiliary security devices in mid-scale installations. The adjustable 5–18V secondary output (4A max) handles legacy or variable-voltage equipment without separate power conditioning.
Output Architecture & Control
Eight relay lock control outputs (3A fused per output) each support failsafe, failsecure, or FAI (Fire Alarm Interface) configuration — critical for compliance in life-safety deployments. Eight additional class 2 auxiliary outputs (2.5A per output) assign independently to Bus1 or Bus2, enabling zone-based or panel-specific control without hardwired multiplexing. This modular output structure reduces on-site wiring complexity and supports redundant control paths in larger access systems.
Physical & Electrical Constraints
The E6 enclosure (30H × 23W × 6.5D inches) fits standard 19-inch or surface-mount racks with the Mercury back plate. Mercury MR52 and EP1502 boards handle logic routing. Class 2 power limiting on all auxiliary outputs meets NEC Article 725 requirements, simplifying certifications for installations mixing low-voltage control and line-voltage conditioning.
Deployment Fit
Select this unit when you need distributed multi-output power for access control nodes, door hardware clusters, or hybrid security/HVAC automation at a single location. The dual-voltage output and separate secondary circuit accommodate legacy 12V solenoids alongside newer 24V systems. Not suitable as a primary IP camera power source — insufficient capacity for multi-camera PoE loads; use a dedicated PoE switch for camera power instead.
