Lifesafety Power FPO250/250-2C8P2D8PE8M2 250W Power Supply Board
Overview
The FPO250/250-2C8P2D8PE8M2 is a 250W power supply board designed for access control and electronic lock systems requiring distributed relay control across multiple zones. It delivers 20A at 12VDC or 10A at 24VDC, addressing installations where centralized power and switching are impractical. The dual-voltage output flexibility allows field configuration to match existing lock hardware and control logic without redesign.
Specification & Output Configuration
This board provisions 16 Class 2 power-limited relay lock control outputs at 2.5A per channel, plus 16 additional Class 2 auxiliary DC outputs—also 2.5A per channel. Class 2 current limiting provides inherent protection against short circuits and load faults without requiring external breakers on each channel, reducing panel complexity and wiring labor. The enclosure measures 30W × 36H × 4.5D inches with integrated backplate capacity to mount up to eight Mercury or Lenel control boards, making it suitable for multi-zone access systems where modular board stacking is required.
Compatibility
The FPO250/250-2C8P2D8PE8M2 integrates with Lifesafety Power and Mercury control ecosystems. The backplate design accommodates standard Mercury/Lenel modular boards, enabling mixed deployments across warehouse access points, dock gates, and emergency exit control applications. Verify existing board form factors against the enclosure mounting pattern before installation.
Installation Considerations
Ensure adequate 120VAC input availability near the mounting location. The 4.5-inch depth fits standard electrical enclosures but verify clearance for terminal blocks and wire routing. Per Class 2 specifications, all output wiring must comply with low-voltage code separation requirements—do not run auxiliary outputs in the same conduit as building power. Relay outputs are normally open; verify lock hardware supports this control logic before commissioning.
