Lifesafety Power FPO250-C8PD8E2 250W Power Supply Board
Overview
The FPO250-C8PD8E2 is a 250W enclosed power supply board engineered for access control and door lock systems in commercial and institutional facilities. It delivers either 20A at 12V DC or 10A at 24V DC—enough power to run multiple electromagnetic lock controllers, door strikes, and ancillary security devices from a single panel. The 8 relay lock control outputs (Class 2 power-limited at 2.5A per relay) manage solenoid coils and signal lines, while 8 auxiliary fused DC outputs (3A per output) feed card readers, sensors, and intercom modules. This is the board to integrate when you're building out a distributed access control architecture across a multi-tenant building or warehouse with multiple independently powered door zones.
Compatibility
The FPO250-C8PD8E2 integrates with standard access control panels (Honeywell, Lenel, Salto, and Allegion controllers) and third-party lock management systems that expect 12VDC or 24VDC relay-driven solenoid coils and sensor inputs. It pairs with electromagnetic locks, electronic door strikes, and card reader modules rated for 12V or 24V operation. Verify your door lock voltage and relay coil current draw (must stay under 2.5A per relay) before specifying; oversized coils will require external intermediate relays.
Installation Notes
Enclosure dimensions: 16″ W × 20″ H × 4.5″ D—fits standard electrical utility boxes or wall-mount surface cabinets. Power input requires 120VAC or 240VAC service (verify local supply); internal transformer handles the step-down. Relay and auxiliary outputs are screw-terminal connections—use 14–16 AWG stranded wire, crimped. Each of the 8 relay outputs is fused internally at 2.5A; each auxiliary output at 3A. Test relay contact closure and voltage outputs under load before commissioning door locks. Ground the enclosure chassis to facility ground per NEC Article 250.
