Lifesafety Power FPO150-B100C8PD8PE4M 150W Access Control Power Supply
Overview
The FPO150-B100C8PD8PE4M is a 150W distributed-voltage power supply rated for access control and intrusion alarm infrastructure. It delivers 4A at 12V and 4A at 24V simultaneously, supporting 8 door locks and 8 auxiliary circuits (rated at 2.5A per auxiliary output, Class 2 power-limited). The unit ships in an E4M enclosure with Mercury backplate — a sealed, space-efficient form factor designed for wall or cabinet mounting in security closets and equipment rooms where physical space is constrained.
Compatibility
This supply is engineered for systems requiring supervised, fault-tolerant 12V/24V power distribution to electromechanical locks, magnetic door holders, exit devices, and auxiliary alarm loads. It integrates into legacy and current access control panels (Honeywell, Bosch, Lenel, Software House) that accept distributed power modules. Verify your control panel's backplane connector type and voltage requirements before ordering — the FPO150 is built for standard DV (distributed-voltage) architectures but some installations may require custom harnesses.
Installation Notes
Mount the E4M enclosure vertically in a protected cabinet or closet — avoid damp or high-temperature environments above the unit's rated operating range. Wiring: separate the 12V and 24V load circuits to prevent cross-talk; use individual Class 2 cable runs (18 AWG minimum recommended for auxiliary circuits). Terminate using the Mercury backplate provided — verify polarity before energizing. The 2.5A per-auxiliary limit is a hard ceiling; exceeding it will trip supervision or cause nuisance faults. If you're running multiple locks in parallel, aggregate the branch currents and stay under the 4A rail limit per voltage. No field-replaceable modules inside — treat as a sealed unit for safety and UL compliance.
