Lifesafety Power FPO250-C8D8E2 Fused Power Distribution Enclosure
Overview
The FPO250-C8D8E2 is a 250W fused power distribution enclosure designed to supply door locks, auxiliary devices, and access-control loads in integrated security systems. It provides 8 dedicated lock outputs and 8 auxiliary outputs, each independently fused at 3A — meaning individual device faults won't cascade across the system. The unit supports either 20A @ 12V or 10A @ 24V input, giving you flexibility in how you source primary power. This is the right choice when you need supervised, fused protection for multiple electromagnetic locks and auxiliary loads (sensors, relays, solenoids) in a single enclosure.
Compatibility
The FPO250-C8D8E2 integrates with access-control panels and security management systems that require distributed fused power outputs. It is compatible with most 12VDC or 24VDC power sources (including dedicated power supplies or main panel outputs) and works with standard electromagnetic locks, door holders, and auxiliary devices that draw under 3A per channel. Confirm your lock and auxiliary device current draw before installation — exceeding 3A per output will trip the fuse and disconnect that channel.
Installation Notes
The E2 enclosure form factor is standard wall-mount or rack-mount configuration. All 16 outputs (8 lock + 8 auxiliary) are fused individually, requiring no external breaker coordination. Input voltage must be stable 12VDC or 24VDC; do not exceed 30VDC. Each output accepts standard terminal connections; use appropriately rated wire for your load current (typically 16–18 AWG for 3A circuits). Verify input power capacity before connecting multiple high-draw locks — exceeding 250W total will result in insufficient power delivery.
