Lifesafety Power FPO250/250-5D8P3M8PNLCE12M/P24-B 250W Power Supply

Overview

The Lifesafety Power FPO250/250-5D8P3M8PNLCE12M/P24-B is a 250W managed power distribution module designed for access control, card readers, and auxiliary security devices in multi-building or distributed-site installations. It delivers either 20A at 12V or 10A at 24V, with eight Class 2 power-limited DC outputs—each independently selectable for Bus1 or Bus2 operation. This module solves the problem of powering mixed-voltage legacy and modern readers from a single supply, without running separate feeder cables to each device.

Compatibility

The FPO250 integrates with Lifesafety Power control panels and systems requiring managed 12V/24V auxiliary power distribution. Each of the eight outputs is Class 2 power-limited at 2.5A per channel—sufficient for card readers, motion sensors, door strikes, and relay modules typical in mid-scale access control deployments. The Bus1/Bus2 selectability allows you to segregate power feeds to different zones or reader types without additional wiring complexity. Verify your specific panel model supports this module's output architecture before ordering.

Installation Notes

This is a managed distribution module; it does not stand alone. It must be connected to a compatible Lifesafety Power control panel or power source. All eight outputs are individually configurable for voltage selection (12V or 24V) and bus assignment. Ensure all auxiliary device current draws remain below 2.5A per output to maintain Class 2 compliance and prevent nuisance lockouts. Environmental operation falls within standard commercial building ranges; do not expose to moisture or condensation without proper enclosure protection.
