Lifesafety Power RD150/250 Rack Mount Dual Voltage DC Supply
Overview
The RD150/250 is a rack-mounted DC power distribution unit configured for dual-voltage output: 12V at 12A and 24V at 6A. This supply addresses mixed-voltage camera and access control deployments where separate 12V and 24V device families must share a single power infrastructure. Rack mounting conserves panel real estate in distributed security cabinets and eliminates standalone wall-mount clutter in machine rooms and network closets.
Compatibility
The RD150/250 integrates into rack-mount power systems alongside network video recorders, PoE switches, and edge-based analytics appliances. Verify input voltage requirements (AC mains) and terminal configurations with your specific cabinet layout before installation. Common deployment scenarios include backup surveillance systems in telecom shelters, warehouse CCTV hubs, and multi-building campuses where centralized power distribution reduces cable runs and simplifies supervision.
Installation Notes
Confirm available rack space (1U or multi-U form factor) and ensure input mains voltage aligns with regional supply. Verify amperage budget: the 12V rail supplies up to 12A (144W total); the 24V rail supplies up to 6A (144W total). Both outputs may be used simultaneously. Plan wire gauge and breaker sizing accordingly — undersized conductors or overloaded outputs will degrade performance or trigger shutdown.
