Lifesafety Power FPO250/250-C8D8E2 Dual-Channel Power Supply Enclosure

Overview

The FPO250/250-C8D8E2 is a 250W dual-output power supply housed in an E2 enclosure, delivering 20A at 12V or 10A at 24V on two independent channels. Deploy this where access control systems, door locks, or auxiliary surveillance devices require redundant or parallel power feeds — the dual configuration eliminates single-point power failure for mission-critical lock and sensor circuits.

Compatibility

The FPO250/250-C8D8E2 integrates with security systems requiring split 12V and 24V rails or dual 12V/24V feeds. Typical installations pair this with Lifesafety Power control panels, networked access control systems, and distributed lock/relay architectures. Eight (8) fused lock outputs and eight (8) auxiliary outputs (all fused at 3A per circuit) provide flexibility for mixed loads — door strikes, electromagnetic locks, request-to-exit buttons, and sensor relays across separate supervised circuits.

Installation Notes

The E2 enclosure is designed for indoor, climate-controlled installation. Verify incoming power matches your facility's available service (typically 120V or 240V AC single-phase). Each of the 16 output circuits is individually fused at 3A — plan your load distribution accordingly; a single 250W budget split across two channels means each channel delivers 125W maximum under ideal conditions. Oversizing a single channel (e.g., pulling 15A on 12V) will trip the fuse. Route control wiring in separate conduit from AC mains to prevent inductive coupling into low-voltage logic signals. Mount the enclosure in a locked, temperature-stable location (typically an electrical closet or server room); ambient temperature extremes will degrade battery backup performance if an internal UPS module is present.
