Lifesafety Power FPO250-2C83D8PE8M2/P16-B 250W Single Voltage Power Supply
Overview
The FPO250-2C83D8PE8M2/P16-B is a 250W single voltage power supply designed to feed access control and door lock hardware in medium-scale distributed installations. Operating at 120 VAC input, it delivers the sustained output needed for multiple electrified locks, readers, and control panels without requiring per-door individual supplies. This model is purpose-built for installations where you need centralized power distribution across a building floor or security zone — the alternative is stringing separate supplies to each door, which wastes conduit runs and complicates troubleshooting.
Compatibility
The FPO250-2C83D8PE8M2/P16-B integrates with Lifesafety Power control panels, networked access control systems, and any door lock or reader requiring 24 VDC or 12 VDC output. The 16 relay lock outputs allow direct control of electrified strike plates, magnetic locks, and solenoid bolts without intermediate relays. The 24 auxiliary outputs support supplemental devices — card readers, request-to-exit buttons, status LEDs, or monitoring sensors. Verify exact voltage and current requirements of your lock/reader hardware against the supply's rated output per port to avoid nuisance lockouts or underpower conditions during peak simultaneous demand.
Installation Notes
Mount in a secure, conditioned enclosure — this supply is not weather-sealed and must be installed indoors or in a protected cabinet. Ensure 120 VAC supply has adequate amperage for peak load (250W = ~2.1A minimum feeder). Wire relay lock outputs and auxiliary outputs to corresponding hardware using appropriately gauged copper conductors; do not mix high-current lock lines with low-voltage sense circuits in the same conduit without shielding to avoid feedback. Verify all outputs are terminated or load-limited to prevent short-circuit damage to internal distribution boards.
