Lifesafety Power RC150-C16 Rack Mount DC Lock Control
Overview
The RC150-C16 is a rack-mounted access control power controller designed to centralize power distribution and supervision for multiple electric locks, door strikes, and electromagnetic accessories in enterprise door control systems. It delivers either 12VDC at 12A or 24VDC at 6A across 16 independent, supervised outputs — each monitored for load integrity. Deploy this in security operations centers, data centers, or distributed access control hubs where you need reliable, monitored power to badge readers and door hardware across multiple doors without deploying individual, unmonitored supplies.
Compatibility
The RC150-C16 integrates with any card reader or door strike installation requiring centralized DC power supervision. Its 16 outputs support standard electromagnetic lock loads, door strikes, and related access hardware. Consult the facility's access control architecture documentation to confirm voltage and current requirements match the chosen output mode (12V or 24V).
Installation Notes
Install in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. Wire input AC mains to the unit's power inlet; connect supervised outputs to individual lock or strike circuits using the terminal blocks provided. Each output is monitored independently — a broken wire, short, or disconnected load on one output does not affect the others. Configure output voltage (12V or 24V) at installation; output current available per rail depends on your voltage selection (12A total at 12V, 6A total at 24V). Ensure facility electrical standards and local code compliance before commissioning.
When to Choose a Different Model
If you need fewer outputs (4–8 locks) in a non-rack environment, consider compact panel-mount or wall-mount lock controllers from the Lifesafety Power line. If your deployment requires battery backup for emergency egress, verify whether the RC150-C16 supports optional battery integration or select a model with integrated UPS functionality.
