Lifesafety Power FPO75-2D8PE2M 75W Power Supply with 8 DC Auxiliary Outputs
Overview
The FPO75-2D8PE2M is a 75W regulated power supply designed to distribute power across distributed security and access-control installations. It provides 6A at 12VDC or 3A at 24VDC from a single input, then splits that capacity across eight independent auxiliary outputs, each current-limited to 2.5A and selectable per output for either Bus1 or Bus2 routing. This topology allows a single AC input to feed multiple circuit branches — reducing panel clutter and simplifying the power backbone for mid-scale deployments with mixed voltage requirements.
Compatibility
This unit functions as a centralized power node in access-control and surveillance systems where powered endpoints — such as IP cameras, card readers, electric strikes, or door controllers — require individual output supervision. Each output can be independently assigned to serve different circuits or security zones, making it suitable for warehouse automation, building perimeter, and multi-tenant facility wiring. Works alongside PoE switches in hybrid deployments where some devices demand regulated 12V or 24V auxiliary power outside the PoE budget.
Key Specifications
Input: Standard AC mains (exact voltage range not specified in available documentation).
Output voltage options: 6A @ 12VDC or 3A @ 24VDC — select one per unit. The 12V variant supports higher current for solenoids and access hardware; 24V reduces wire gauge requirements on long runs by halving current draw for the same wattage.
Eight auxiliary outputs: Each rated 2.5A, class 2 power-limited — safe for low-voltage wiring in walls without conduit separation. Per-output bus assignment (Bus1 or Bus2) enables circuit-level fault isolation and redundancy planning.
Current limiting per output: Prevents any single load failure (e.g., a shorted reader circuit) from collapsing the entire supply. Integrators appreciate this for unattended outdoor deployments where branch diagnostics matter.
Installation Considerations
Confirm AC input voltage specification with the manufacturer before panel integration. Eight separate terminal blocks require careful labeling in the field to prevent bus-assignment errors during commissioning.
