Lifesafety Power FPO250/250-3D8P2M8E8M2-WPV-IU03 250W Managed Power Supply

Overview

The FPO250/250-3D8P2M8E8M2-WPV-IU03 is a 250W managed power supply designed to handle distributed surveillance and access control installations where you need reliable, centralized power distribution with individual outlet management. This unit addresses the core problem: managing multiple low-current loads (cameras, card readers, electric locks, auxiliary devices) from a single rack-mount source without daisy-chaining power strips or oversizing a generic UPS.

Compatibility

The FPO250 integrates into Lifesafety Power's Mercury ProWire ecosystem. The 16 managed outputs accommodate individual remote power monitoring and selective outlet cycling, while the 24 auxiliary outputs provide general-purpose 12VDC distribution. Deploy this supply with standard security system architectures: IP camera networks requiring PoE injectors or local 12VDC hubs, access control panels drawing sustained 2–5A per door, and mixed analog/digital equipment stacks in small-to-medium commercial facilities. Confirm your specific load requirements (voltage per outlet, current draw, simultaneous peak demand) against the FPO250's output specifications before final selection.

Installation Notes

Rack-mount installation requires standard 19-inch EIA mounting. Verify inlet voltage matches your facility (the unit designation includes dual-voltage configuration options — confirm yours). Establish a separate ground path independent of signal cabling. Size backup battery capacity based on maximum concurrent load draw across managed and auxiliary outlets; undersizing the battery defeats the redundancy benefit. Test outlet load distribution during commissioning to prevent nuisance shutdowns from inrush current spikes.
