Lifesafety Power FPO250-2D8E1 16-Output Fused Power Supply
Overview
The FPO250-2D8E1 is a 250W auxiliary power distribution unit designed to supply 12V or 24V power to multiple security devices — cameras, access points, sensors, strobes, and auxiliary control circuits — across distributed installations. The unit delivers either 20A at 12V or 10A at 24V, distributed across 16 individually fused auxiliary outputs. Each output is independently fused at 3A, protecting downstream circuits from overcurrent events without shutting down the entire supply. This architecture is critical in multi-zone deployments where a single short or fault must not cascade across the entire system.
Compatibility
The FPO250-2D8E1 integrates into security control cabinet installations where distributed, fused power is required. It supplies auxiliary devices in power supply architectures that cannot rely on PoE alone. Typical deployment partners include access control panels, analog or IP camera arrays, RF transmitters, door release magnets, and alarm notification devices. Compatible with standard cabinet 35mm DIN rail mounting using the E1 enclosure form factor.
Installation Notes
Verify input voltage requirements before commissioning — the unit requires a primary power source capable of delivering sufficient amperage to the FPO250-2D8E1 input stage. Each of the 16 outputs must be assigned to a specific downstream load; unused outputs should remain unconnected. The 3A per-output fusing means individual device circuits are isolated — confirm that attached devices (e.g., 24V solenoids, IP cameras pulling auxiliary power) do not exceed 3A continuous draw. Install within a climate-controlled cabinet to preserve component life and ensure reliable fusing operation.
