Lifesafety Power FPO250/250/250-8M8PNLCE12M/P24-A 250W Managed Power Supply
Overview
The FPO250/250/250-8M8PNLCE12M/P24-A is a 250W managed power distribution unit with eight Class 2 power-limited outputs rated at 2.5A each. Output voltage is selectable: 20A @ 12V or 10A @ 24V. This configuration means you get independent circuit isolation per output and power overload protection per channel — critical when powering mixed-voltage access control, camera systems, and low-voltage door hardware from a single source. The 250W capacity supports mid-scale surveillance and security deployments where controlled power distribution prevents cascade failures and simplifies troubleshooting.
Compatibility
This supply integrates with surveillance and access control systems requiring 12V or 24V DC distribution. Compatible with IP cameras, door locks, powered call stations, and other low-voltage security devices rated within the 2.5A per-channel limit. The dual-voltage design (selectable 12V or 24V) accommodates installations mixing legacy and modern equipment. Verify your system's voltage requirement and total per-channel draw before integration — exceeding 2.5A on any single output will trip that channel's protection.
Installation Notes
The eight managed outputs each incorporate individual power limiting at Class 2 levels (2.5A per channel) — no external fusing or breakers needed per output. Confirm total system current draw against the 20A (12V) or 10A (24V) primary capacity before commissioning. Wire gauge and conduit routing depend on run distance; longer runs to remote powered devices may require upsized conductors to minimize voltage drop. Environmental operating range and thermal dissipation should be evaluated for your cabinet temperature and ventilation conditions.
