Lifesafety Power FPO250-B1002C82D8E8M 250W Dual-Voltage Power Supply

The FPO250-B1002C82D8E8M is a 250W power supply delivering either 20A at 12VDC or 10A at 24VDC — selectable output for flexible integration into power supplies and backup systems across mixed-voltage security environments. This dual-voltage architecture eliminates the need to stock separate 12V and 24V units, reducing spares inventory and simplifying panel design.

Compatibility & Deployment

The PSB format and 250W capacity position this unit for mid-scale installations: access control panels, door locks, magnetic locks, and distributed 12/24V sensor networks. The dual-voltage output (20A/12V or 10A/24V) supports legacy 12V installations and newer 24V systems without substitution — critical in retrofit and mixed-technology sites.

Integration Considerations

250W capacity handles concurrent loads across multiple devices: a 12V/24V door controller (3–5A), two electric strikes (4–6A each), and auxiliary sensors (2–3A total) remain within headroom. Verify your panel's input voltage specification (wall AC or battery backup topology) before wiring. The selectable output voltage must be confirmed during commissioning — output cannot be switched live without removing load.

For battery backup and UPS planning, confirm whether the FPO250-B1002C82D8E8M includes integral battery supervision or if external charger/backup hardware is required; consult the manufacturer specification sheet or your system integrator for exact battery topology.

When to Choose a Different Model

If your installation requires fixed 12VDC or 24VDC only (not both), a single-voltage variant may reduce component cost. For power demands exceeding 250W or higher current requirements (>20A at 12V), specify a higher-capacity supply in the same family.
