Lifesafety Power FPO250/250-2C82D8E4 Access Power Supply

Product Description

The LIFESAFETY POWER FPO250/250-2C82D8E4 is a 500-watt dual-voltage access control power supply designed for large-scale door control and access management systems. It delivers dedicated power across 16 auxiliary output channels and 16 locking device output channels, making it a high-capacity solution for commercial and institutional access control installations. Licensed electricians and low-voltage security technicians are the primary installers. The dual-voltage architecture supports simultaneous operation of multiple locking hardware types from a single power platform, reducing panel count and simplifying system design in demanding multi-door deployments.

This power supply is suited for commercial access control environments requiring a high channel count from a centralized power source. Typical applications include multi-door office buildings, healthcare facilities, schools, and other institutional settings where 16 locking devices and 16 auxiliary loads must be powered and supervised from a single enclosure. The E4 designation in the part number indicates the specific output and feature configuration for this unit. Installation is typically performed alongside access control panels, electric strikes, magnetic locks, and ancillary devices such as REX sensors and door contacts.

Key Features

• 500-watt total output capacity supports high-density multi-door access control systems
• 16 dedicated locking device output channels for electric strikes, maglocks, or similar hardware
• 16 auxiliary output channels for ancillary access control loads
• Dual-voltage output architecture allows simultaneous support of mixed locking hardware
• Packaged as a single unit (sold individually) for straightforward procurement and installation planning

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style centralized power solution for commercial access control systems requiring high-channel-count dual-voltage power distribution. Consult the manufacturer data sheet for confirmed compatible panels and locking hardware configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or a certified low-voltage technician familiar with access control power distribution. Disconnect all AC mains power and verify zero voltage at the enclosure before wiring outputs or making any connections. Local electrical codes, including applicable NEC low-voltage and power-limited circuit requirements, govern conduit fill, wire gauge, and circuit protection. Do not exceed the rated output capacity across combined auxiliary and locking channels.
