Lifesafety Power FPO250/250-2C82D8E8M1 Dual-Channel Power Supply
Overview
The FPO250/250-2C82D8E8M1 is a 250W dual-channel power supply designed to deliver independent, monitored power to surveillance camera systems and access control infrastructure. This architecture isolates each channel, meaning a fault on one output does not cascade to the second—critical in multi-zone deployments where a single power failure cannot take down redundant camera feeds or card readers across different segments.
Compatibility
This supply integrates into supervised power supply architectures where separate outputs are required for independent device groups—typical in warehouse perimeter surveillance, access control zones, or multi-building sites requiring distinct power domains. Confirm input voltage requirements and output amperage ratings against your specific camera or controller data sheets before assignment.
Key Specifications
Dual independent channels allow configuration of each output for different voltage and current demands. The 250W total capacity distributes across both channels; plan accordingly to avoid undersizing on either rail. Supervision capability—if included in this model—enables the system to detect and log power faults, alerting operators to supply failures before cameras go dark. Battery backup integration (if supported) extends recording capability during AC loss, extending incident capture windows on longer outages.
Installation Considerations
Verify AC input voltage compatibility with your facility mains. Review the output current rating for each channel against total load (sum all connected cameras, readers, and auxiliary devices). Wiring terminations must follow local electrical code and the manufacturer's terminal specifications. Install the unit in a dry, temperature-stable enclosure to maintain component longevity and prevent voltage drift under thermal stress.
