Lifesafety Power FPO250-D8PE1 250W Power Supply with 8 Auxiliary Outputs
Overview
The FPO250-D8PE1 is a 250W cabinet-mounted power supply designed to distribute regulated 12V or 24V power to multiple security and access-control devices within a single enclosure. Eight independent auxiliary outputs, each rated at 2.5A (Class 2 power-limited), allow daisy-chaining or parallel-wiring of door controllers, badge readers, lighting relays, and sensor circuits without requiring separate power distribution modules. This reduces wiring complexity in equipment cabinets and simplifies troubleshooting by centralizing power supervision and fault monitoring.
Compatibility
The FPO250-D8PE1 is compatible with access control systems that require regulated 12VDC or 24VDC auxiliary power distribution. It integrates with cabinet-mounted controllers, magnetic lock power circuits, and reader power feeds commonly deployed in enterprise warehouse automation, facility entry systems, and distributed camera networks that rely on centralized power management rather than PoE infrastructure.
Output Configuration
Select output voltage based on your door control and reader voltage requirements. At 12VDC, the supply delivers 20A of aggregate current, providing headroom for simultaneous multi-device operation. At 24VDC, the rating drops to 10A—sufficient for most industrial badge readers and solenoid locks but requiring load planning if powering eight devices concurrently. Each output is independently fused and limited to 2.5A to prevent cascade failure; if one circuit shorts, the others remain operational. This isolation is critical in distributed access control where a single failed lock should not blackout an entire floor's entry points.
Power Efficiency and Supervision
The E1 enclosure rating indicates suitability for indoor cabinet deployment with environmental protection appropriate to controlled environments. When sizing cabinet cooling or UPS battery runtime, allocate 250W of steady-state draw at full load. No battery backup is mentioned in the specification; if 24/7 hold-up is required, pair this supply with a separate UPS or battery module rated for your auxiliary load profile.
