Lifesafety Power FPV4-BOXED 12VDC/24VDC Power Supply
Overview
The FPV4-BOXED is a compact, dual-voltage power supply designed to deliver regulated DC power to distributed security and access control devices. It outputs either 4 amps at 12VDC or 3 amps at 24VDC, making it suitable for multi-device installations where voltage flexibility reduces panel count and simplifies wiring logistics. The unit supports FAI (Failsafe & Alarm Interface) supervision and integrates with network-monitoring architectures, enabling remote status reporting and alarm conditions across your security network.
Compatibility
The FPV4-BOXED integrates with Lifesafety Power systems and networked power supply ecosystems requiring dual-voltage output. It is commonly deployed in installations where mixed 12V and 24V devices share a single power management point, reducing the need for separate supply units. Confirm voltage and current requirements of end devices before selection—4A at 12V or 3A at 24V represent the maximum per-voltage output, not simultaneous dual delivery.
Installation Notes
The boxed form factor houses all components in a single enclosure, simplifying mounting in cabinet or panel environments. Power input, output terminals, and FAI supervision connections are terminal-block accessible. Verify local electrical codes for DC power wiring and terminal sizing—undersized conductors create voltage drop and reduce effective current delivery to remote devices. The unit is optimized for indoor, climate-controlled environments; confirm operating temperature range against your installation site.
When to Choose a Different Model
If your installation requires higher amperage (beyond 4A @ 12V), redundancy with battery backup, or PoE injection for IP cameras, evaluate higher-capacity variants within the Lifesafety Power line or consider dedicated power supply categories with those features. If supervision is not required, non-supervised supplies may reduce cost.
