Lifesafety Power FPO250-2D8PE8M2 250W Power Supply Enclosure

Overview

The FPO250-2D8PE8M2 is a 250W regulated power supply mounted in a compact industrial enclosure designed to feed distributed access control systems, card readers, electric locks, and auxiliary 12V/24V DC loads across multiple zones. This unit delivers either 20A @ 12V DC or 10A @ 24V DC primary output, with 16 auxiliary outputs rated class 2 power-limited at 2.5A per channel — meaning each auxiliary port can safely support a single reader, electric strike, or solenoid without risk of overload faults. The all-in-one enclosure eliminates the need to rack separate power supplies and terminal blocks, reducing wiring labor and footprint in equipment closets or wall-mounted installations.

Compatibility

This unit is designed to accommodate up to eight Mercury or Lenel access control boards directly into its backplate — a common configuration in distributed door control networks. The 16 auxiliary DC outputs support standard 12V/24V accessories: electromagnetic locks, request-to-exit (RTE) buttons, door position sensors, and badge readers rated for class 2 power-limited circuits. Check your existing reader and lock datasheets to confirm voltage compatibility (12V or 24V) before selection; this unit is a passive distribution point and does not include voltage selection — you choose either 12V or 24V operation at install time based on your door hardware.

Installation Notes

Enclosure dimensions are 30W × 36H × 4.5D inches — confirm wall or DIN-rail mounting space before order. Power input is line voltage (120V/240V AC) — wire to a dedicated 20A circuit breaker per local electrical code. Class 2 rated auxiliary outputs use screw terminals; ensure all door hardware wiring is run in separate conduit from line-voltage circuits to meet NEC Article 725 separation rules. Each auxiliary output is internally fused at 2.5A; over-current trips are silent, so test each zone after install using a multimeter to confirm voltage presence.
