Lifesafety Power R8-BOXED 8-Output Lock Module
Overview
The R8-BOXED is a dedicated lock output module designed to extend control capability in access control systems. Each of the eight outputs is individually fused at 3A, enabling independent circuit protection for multiple door control loads. This distributed fusing architecture isolates a single lock failure or short from affecting other outputs—critical in multi-door access control deployments where downtime on a single entrance cannot cascade across the facility.
The module supports both failsafe and fail-secure operation modes, allowing you to match the lock behavior to your security policy: failsafe unlocks on power loss (life safety priority), fail-secure locks on power loss (access denial priority). Mode selection is per-output, giving you granular control across different entry points in the same system.
Compatibility
Verify compatibility with your door controller or access control panel before procurement. The R8-BOXED integrates with systems requiring auxiliary lock output expansion; specific controller models and protocol requirements must be confirmed against your panel's documentation or with pre-sales support.
Installation Notes
Each output is fused independently at 3A—do not exceed this rating per circuit. Proper wire gauge selection is essential; undersized conductors can trip fuses prematurely under normal lock loads. Failsafe/fail-secure jumpers are field-selectable per output; document your configuration to avoid mismatches during future maintenance.
