Lifesafety Power FPO150-C8E2 12A/12V or 6A/24V Relay Control Power Supply
Overview
The FPO150-C8E2 is a compact, dual-voltage power enclosure designed to supply low-voltage DC power and relay switching to access control systems, electric locks, and door strike devices in security installations. It delivers either 12A at 12VDC or 6A at 24VDC, with 8 independent relay outputs for controlling lock solenoids, door openers, and other latching devices. This voltage/amperage configuration supports mixed-voltage deployments — common in retrofits where 12V legacy hardware coexists with newer 24V equipment on the same circuit board.
Compatibility
The FPO150-C8E2 integrates with access control panels, door management systems, and any application requiring low-voltage DC distribution with discrete relay switching. The 8 relay outputs handle standard 12V/24V solenoid coils and mechanical latches; each relay is independently rated, allowing load distribution across multiple lock lines. Consult your access control panel documentation to confirm compatible relay voltage ratings and signal requirements before wiring.
Installation Notes
The E2 enclosure rating indicates weatherproof/sealed construction suitable for indoor and semi-protected outdoor mounting. Power input (field-supplied AC or DC) connects to the enclosure terminals; relay outputs connect to strike plate and solenoid leads via low-voltage field wiring. Ensure adequate current capacity downstream: a single 12A supply cannot service eight 2A devices simultaneously — calculate aggregate relay coil current and budget peak inrush load. Battery backup capability (if specified) requires external 12V or 24V battery module connection; confirm charging circuit compatibility with your backup architecture.
