Lifesafety Power FPO250/250-2C8P2D8PE8SP 500W Dual Voltage Supply
Overview
The Lifesafety Power FPO250/250-2C8P2D8PE8SP is a 500W dual voltage (120 VAC) power distribution unit designed to supply and manage power across access control, intrusion detection, and surveillance systems. With 16 dedicated relay lock outputs and 16 auxiliary outputs, this unit handles the power distribution and logic control needed for multi-door access control installations, backup siren systems, and synchronized equipment shutdown during a fire or alarm event. Deploy this in a wall-mounted enclosure or rack when your system requires centralized power routing with isolated output circuits.
Compatibility
The FPO250/250-2C8P2D8PE8SP integrates with access control panels, door controllers, and intrusion systems that accept standard 12 VDC or 24 VDC logic-level inputs and relay-switched load control. It works alongside fire alarm panels, UPS systems, and networked VMS platforms that require synchronized shutdown or failover signaling. Verify pinout and voltage requirements against your existing control hardware before installation—relay outputs are typically wired to door strikes, magnetic locks, or auxiliary equipment requiring switched DC power.
Installation Notes
Input voltage is 120 VAC; confirm your facility's main panel voltage matches. The 500W capacity must account for peak inrush current when multiple relay loads energize simultaneously—size your upstream breaker accordingly (typically 20A for 120 VAC service). Mount in a locked, climate-controlled enclosure to protect terminals and prevent tampering. Relay contacts should be derated based on load type (inductive vs. resistive); consult the relay rating table for your specific strike mechanism or solenoid. All outputs should be independently fused or circuit-protected to isolate a fault to a single door or zone.
