Lifesafety Power FPO150-C8PE1 8-Output Lock Supply
Overview
The Lifesafety Power FPO150-C8PE1 is a 150W cabinet-mounted power distribution unit designed to supply and supervise multiple electronic locks, door readers, and access control ancillaries in integrated security installations. With eight independently supervised outputs rated at 2.5A per channel, the unit delivers either 12VDC at 12A total or 24VDC at 6A total—allowing you to configure voltage based on your lock hardware and wiring distance. Class 2 power-limited design means the supply meets code requirements for life safety applications without requiring additional current-limiting relays.
Compatibility
The FPO150-C8PE1 integrates with access control systems, card readers, and electric strike/mag-lock hardware that operate at 12V or 24V. Compatible with building management architectures that require individual output supervision and current monitoring per lock or device. Verify your lock voltage requirement before deployment—this unit supports both, but not simultaneously.
Key Specifications
- Output Capacity: Eight supervised outputs at 2.5A per channel, class 2 power-limited—delivers the current budget needed for standard electric strikes, mag locks, and solenoid readers without nuisance shutdowns under load.
- Voltage Options: 12VDC at 12A total or 24VDC at 6A total—24V reduces wire gauge and voltage drop over longer runs, lowering installation labor and copper cost on distributed lock systems.
- Supervision: Each output is individually monitored for faults; supervision feedback signals tamper or short-circuit conditions to your access control panel in real time.
- Enclosure Rating: E1 enclosure—compact, wall-mountable, suitable for mechanical rooms, electrical closets, and secured panel locations.
Installation Notes
Mount in a climate-controlled, accessible location near your access control panel. Verify incoming AC supply matches the unit's input requirements. Use appropriate wire gauge (typically 12 AWG for 12V, 14 AWG for 24V) to minimize voltage drop at the furthest lock. Terminate outputs to a relay panel or directly to locks depending on your system architecture. Consult the access control integrator's wiring guide for supervision signal integration.
