Lifesafety Power FPO150-C8PE4M1 150W Dual-Voltage Power Supply with 8-Relay Lock Control
Overview
The Lifesafety Power FPO150-C8PE4M1 is a 150W power supply designed to centralize power distribution and relay-switched control for door locks, electric strikes, and access-control magnets in mid-to-large multi-door security installations. It delivers either 12A at 12VDC or 6A at 24VDC—a practical split for mixed-voltage lock ecosystems where some electromagnetic locks operate on 12V and others on 24V. Each of the eight relay outputs is independently selectable for failsafe, failsecure, or FAI (Field Assignable Input) operation, allowing on-site configuration without firmware updates. Class 2 power-limited output at 2.5A per relay protects wiring runs and reduces shock hazard in accessible cabinet installations.
Compatibility
This unit pairs with enterprise access-control panels that support relay-triggered lock commands—typically integrated alongside power delivery infrastructure in security cabinet layouts. Verify your lock model voltage (12V vs. 24V) and current draw before selection; the FPO150-C8PE4M1 is designed for scenarios where a single centralized supply feeds multiple locks from a single enclosure. Confirm your access controller has open-relay or supervised relay outputs to drive the unit's input terminals.
Installation Notes
Wire lock circuits to the appropriate relay terminals; ensure each load does not exceed 2.5A per output to remain within class 2 limits and avoid nuisance trips. Set each output to failsafe or failsecure mode before powering up, matching your facility's fire code and safety requirements (failsafe = power loss unlocks; failsecure = power loss locks). Use appropriate gauge wire for the distance from cabinet to remote locks to minimize voltage drop on long runs.
