Lifesafety Power FPO150-D8PE8H 150W Auxiliary Power Supply
Overview
The FPO150-D8PE8H is a 150W auxiliary power supply purpose-built for distributed access control and intrusion systems. It delivers either 12A at 12V or 6A at 24V — you select output voltage once at installation. The unit provides 8 independent DC auxiliary outputs, each rated at 2.5A and individually selectable for Bus1 or Bus2 operation. This dual-bus architecture is critical in enterprise access control: it isolates auxiliary loads (door strikes, magnetic locks, sensors) from your primary control bus, preventing a single overloaded solenoid from dragging down communication to multiple readers. The E8 form factor (36H × 30W × 4.5D inches) is designed to fit standard Honeywell back plates, making retrofit into existing control cabinets straightforward without re-engineering the enclosure layout.
Compatibility
The FPO150-D8PE8H integrates with Lifesafety Power systems and Honeywell access control platforms that use Bus1/Bus2 architecture. Verify your control panel documentation for auxiliary output support — this unit assumes your panel has discrete bus selection capability for each output circuit. If your panel does not support independent bus assignment per output, you will need to tie all eight outputs to the same bus, which reduces the isolation benefit.
Installation Notes
Mount the unit in a climate-controlled enclosure (typical panel cabinet environment). Ensure adequate airflow around the supply — 150W dissipates measurable heat during sustained auxiliary current draw. Class 2 power-limited outputs mean fault current is capped at 2.5A per circuit; no additional breakers are required per output, but do verify your panel's total auxiliary budget does not exceed 12A (12V) or 6A (24V). Use stranded copper wire appropriately gauged for the distance and current: 18 AWG for short runs under 100 feet at full 2.5A, 16 AWG for longer cabinet-to-field distances. All bus selection jumpers must be set before live power is applied.
