Lifesafety Power FPO250-2C8PE2 16-Output Class 2 Power Limited Enclosure

Overview

The FPO250-2C8PE2 is a Class 2 power limited enclosure rated for 250W total output across 16 independently fused lock outputs. Each output handles up to 2.5A, with the supply capable of delivering either 20A at 12V DC or 10A at 24V DC—giving you flexibility to match your existing access control infrastructure. The E2 enclosure rating means it's built for wall-mount installations in commercial security systems where you need distributed power for multiple electric locks, strike mechanisms, or door access hardware without running separate conduit or power lines to each device.

Compatibility

The FPO250-2C8PE2 integrates with any Class 2 access control system requiring distributed 12V or 24V DC power. It's commonly paired with access control panels (both legacy and modern IP-based) that control multiple doors or zones. If your existing system uses individual power supplies or daisy-chained locks, this unit consolidates that infrastructure into a single, fused power point—reducing wiring complexity and improving fault isolation. Verify your lock hardware and control panel specifications call for Class 2 operation before installation; some modern access control systems specify power-limited circuits, making this the correct choice.

Installation Notes

The 16 outputs are individually fused, so a single failed lock will not trip the entire supply—a key advantage in multi-door deployments. Wire the unit for either 12V or 24V operation depending on your lock voltage; do not mix voltages across outputs. The E2 enclosure is intended for wall mounting in secure locations (electrical room, server closet, access control cabinet). Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit for the 250W thermal load, and locate it within reasonable cabling distance of your locks to minimize voltage drop—Class 2 circuits are sensitive to wire gauge and run length. Follow your local electrical code for Class 2 installation, including conduit sizing and separation from line-voltage wiring.
