Lifesafety Power FPO250-F8PE1 Unified Power Supply
Overview
The FPO250-F8PE1 is a 250W unified power supply built for access control and integrated security systems where you need flexible output switching across multiple door controllers, readers, or electromagnetic locks. The unit delivers 20A at 12V or 10A at 24V — enough headroom for modest multi-door installations — and routes power through eight independently controlled outputs, each rated at 2.5A maximum, class 2 power-limited per NEC requirements.
Compatibility
This supply is designed for FAI (Failsafe/Failsecure/Auxiliary Input) control integration, a standard protocol in commercial access control panels and distributed lock control systems. Each of the eight outputs is individually selectable for FAI operation, failsafe mode, fail-secure mode, or Bus1/Bus2 configurations — a flexibility that supports both hardwired door control and networked panel architectures. Verify your access control system or door controller datasheet to confirm FAI input compatibility before ordering.
Installation Notes
The E1 enclosure measures 14 inches high by 12 inches wide by 4.5 inches deep — a standard DIN-rail or wall-mount footprint for electrical closets and telecom rooms. Class 2 power-limited outputs mean each output can safely run low-voltage loads (door strikes, magnetic locks, request-to-exit buttons) without additional circuit breakers, provided total load per output does not exceed 2.5A. Confirm your control panel's input voltage requirement (12V or 24V) and select the corresponding tap on the supply before installation. Sized for 24/7 standby duty — verify thermal conditions if mounting in confined spaces above 40°C ambient.
