Lifesafety Power FPO150-C8E1 150W Supervised Power Cabinet
Overview
The FPO150-C8E1 is a 150W supervised power supply housed in an E1 enclosure, designed to distribute fused 12VDC or 24VDC power to access control, alarm, and security devices across a single deployment location. The cabinet provides eight independently fused outputs rated at 3A per channel, allowing you to isolate device groups and prevent a single fault from collapsing power to all downstream equipment.
Power Distribution & Output Specifications
The unit delivers either 12A at 12VDC or 6A at 24VDC (150W total), with each of the eight outputs fused at 3A. This architecture is critical for integrations where you need granular device isolation—each output can support mid-draw devices (locks, auxiliary relays, backup sirens) without risk of cascading failure. The 150W budget supports typical access control door strikes, readers, and supervisory circuits in multi-door installations.
Enclosure & Mounting
The E1 cabinet form factor is a compact, wall-mounted solution suitable for back-of-house or electrical closet placement. Its supervised design confirms power presence and output integrity, essential for systems requiring real-time fault reporting to a control panel or monitoring station.
When to Choose a Different Model
If you need higher amperage capacity (more than 150W total output) or fewer, larger outputs, consult the broader power supply family—Lifesafety Power manufactures variants with different wattages and output configurations. For non-fused or single-output applications, a simpler linear supply may be more cost-effective.
Integration Considerations
Verify compatibility with your access control panel's voltage and current draw requirements before final selection. Fused outputs require periodic inspection; keep spare 3A fuses on-site. Use a security system installation guide to confirm wiring gauge and conduit routing for your specific door-count and device layout.
