Lifesafety Power RD150-16 Rackmount DC Power Supply
Overview
The RD150-16 is a 1U rackmount DC power distribution unit engineered for access control and egress lock installations. It delivers either 12VDC at 12 amps or 24VDC at 6 amps — configurable to match your security device voltage requirements — with 16 dedicated egress lock outputs. This architecture eliminates the need for separate power harnesses to individual locks and reduces panel clutter in densely-wired cabinet deployments.
Compatibility
The RD150-16 integrates with rackmount access control systems and standalone egress lock control scenarios. Verify your lock voltage requirement (12V or 24V) before ordering, as the supply cannot be field-switched between ratings. Sixteen discrete outputs support multi-door installations without daisy-chaining or auxiliary distribution panels.
Installation Notes
Rackmount form factor occupies one rack unit (1U). Terminal block connections for input and output simplify integration into existing wiring frames. Confirm your cabinet has adequate thermal ventilation and that upstream circuit protection matches the amperage rating. The dual voltage options (12A at 12V or 6A at 24V) mean total available power is fixed; higher voltage outputs deliver proportionally fewer amps per channel. Budget approximately 9–12A of input current for sustained operation at full load.
When to Choose a Different Model
If you require fewer than 16 outputs or operate in non-egress-lock applications (standalone camera or sensor power), evaluate lower-capacity Lifesafety Power models in the same family. For battery backup functionality or supervised AC input monitoring, consult the full Lifesafety Power catalog to confirm feature availability on alternative SKUs.
