Lifesafety Power FPO150-C8D8E4M1 150W Single Voltage 8-Door Power Supply
Overview
The Lifesafety Power FPO150-C8D8E4M1 is a 150W single-voltage power supply engineered to feed multiple door locking devices in access control deployments. This unit distributes power across up to eight doors simultaneously—each circuit independent, so a short on one lock doesn't collapse the entire system. Deploy it in office buildings, warehouses, or facilities where you need centralized power management for electrified strikes, magnetic locks, and request-to-exit readers without oversizing to a multioutput modular unit.
Compatibility
The FPO150-C8D8E4M1 is a single-voltage output device. Verify your access control panel or door-control module specifies a matching voltage (typically 12V or 24V DC on these units). If your site mixes voltages—some readers at 24V, others at 12V—you'll need a multioutput supply or separate units per voltage. Check your panel's power requirements and the total amperage draw from all eight doors before installation; undersizing the supply is the most common field failure in access control power distribution.
Installation Notes
The FPO150-C8D8E4M1 is a compact, DIN-rail or wall-mountable unit. Route power leads in separate conduit from data and alarm lines to avoid inductive noise coupling into credential readers or control panels. Terminate all unused outputs with terminal caps or dummy loads if the supply is fused per output—this prevents nuisance breaker trips from capacitive inrush. Verify 120/240V AC input availability at the installation site and confirm local electrical codes permit direct-wired access control power (some jurisdictions require a dedicated breaker). Ground the supply frame securely, especially in facilities with extensive networking or wireless systems, to minimize hum on analog alarm circuits.
