Lifesafety Power FPO250-C8PD8PE2 Sixteen distributed power output

Overview

The Lifesafety Power FPO250-C8PD8PE2 is a 250W distributed power supply built to feed 16 independent outputs across access control, surveillance, and life-safety installations. Eight outputs support lock duty at Class 2 power-limited specifications (2.5A max per output), while eight auxiliary outputs handle monitoring and signaling loads. The supply delivers either 20A at 12V or 10A at 24V — choose based on your wiring run distance and voltage drop tolerance. This is the unit you install when a single centralized power point needs to distribute energy to multiple doors, cameras, and auxiliary devices without running individual branches back to a main panel.

Compatibility

The FPO250-C8PD8PE2 integrates with Class 2 access control systems, surveillance recorder backup power schemes, and mixed-load installations where lock circuits, solenoids, and sensor circuits share a common power backbone. It works with any door lock, magnetic lock, or access control reader rated for 12V or 24V DC operation at or below 2.5A per output. Check your lock data sheet for nominal current draw — if any single device exceeds 2.5A, use an auxiliary output or dedicated external supply for that load.

Installation Notes

The E2 enclosure is rated for wall or DIN-rail mounting in mechanical rooms, panel cabinets, or conduit runs. Verify input voltage (120VAC or 240VAC as ordered) matches your facility branch circuit. Each of the 16 outputs is independently fused and isolated; breaker trips on one output do not affect the others — critical for preventing cascading lock failures. Wire lock circuits (8 outputs) using appropriate gauge for your run length and current; auxiliary outputs (8 outputs) typically carry lower signaling loads. Confirm your cable gauge meets voltage drop limits before termination — longer runs at 12V are more susceptible to voltage sag than 24V circuits.
