Lifesafety Power FPO250-C8PE1 8-Output Door Lock Power Supply

Overview

The FPO250-C8PE1 is a compact 250W power distribution unit designed to supply and control eight independent door locks in distributed access control installations. It provides either 12VDC at 20A or 24VDC at 10A total output, with individual 2.5A class 2 power-limited outputs per lock. This supply-and-supervision topology eliminates the need for per-door power modules while maintaining current limiting for circuit protection and component safety.

Output Configuration

Eight outputs, each rated class 2 power-limited at 2.5A maximum. The dual voltage option (12V or 24V) accommodates both legacy and modern lock actuators without field reconfiguration. Total budget of 20A on 12V or 10A on 24V means you can run up to eight locks simultaneously at their rated draw, or mix loads across fewer doors at higher current if your locks demand it—a practical flexibility for retrofit scenarios where actuator specifications vary.

Enclosure Type

Housed in an E1-rated cabinet suitable for surface or flush mounting in equipment rooms, telecommunications closets, or secure cabinets. The metal enclosure provides EMI shielding and thermal dissipation for continuous duty operation in typical commercial environments.

Installation Considerations

Verify that your lock actuators match the 12V or 24V selection before deployment; the FPO250-C8PE1 does not auto-sense voltage. Each output supports independent wiring runs to remote locks with no additional power conditioning required. Class 2 rating ensures compliance with low-voltage safety codes in jurisdictions requiring isolated power distribution for access control.
