Lifesafety Power FPO250-2C82D8E4 Equipment Cabinet Power Supply

Overview

The FPO250-2C82D8E4 is a 250W equipment cabinet power supply designed for distributed access control and security integration deployments. It provides dedicated power distribution to electromagnetic locks and auxiliary equipment across multiple circuits, eliminating the need to split supply capacity among heterogeneous devices — a common bottleneck in mid-scale control panel installations.

Output Configuration

The unit delivers 20A at 12VDC or 10A at 24VDC (selectable), distributed across 16 independent lock outputs and 16 auxiliary outputs. Each auxiliary output is individually fused at 3A, isolating faults and protecting downstream equipment from cascading power loss. This architecture is essential in facilities where door locks, mag locks, and control devices must maintain isolation; a short on one circuit cannot degrade the entire panel.

Installation Notes

The E4 enclosure classification confirms suitability for standard cabinet mounting. When specifying, confirm your control system's voltage requirement (12V or 24V) and calculate lock current draw against the 20A/10A ceiling — typical magnetic locks draw 0.6–1.2A each. Fused auxiliary outputs are sized for pilot lights, monitoring relays, and low-power sensors; do not use them for main load switching.

Compatibility Scope

The FPO250-2C82D8E4 is compatible with any access control panel or security integrator's cabinet architecture that accepts 12VDC or 24VDC modular power supplies. It does not include integrated battery backup; if UPS-class availability is required, consult UPS power supplies or access control panel datasheets for integrated supervision options.
