Lifesafety Power FPO250/250-2C8P2D8PE4 Access Power Supply

Product Description

The LIFESAFETY POWER FPO250/250-2C8P2D8PE4 is a distributed access control power supply rated at 500 watts total output capacity. It provides 16 lock outputs and 16 auxiliary outputs, making it a high-density power distribution unit suited to large-scale access control installations. The unit is Class 2 rated, meeting NEC Class 2 circuit requirements for low-voltage power distribution. Licensed security and low-voltage electricians typically specify and install this supply in commercial and institutional access control systems where a large number of locking devices and auxiliary loads must be powered from a single, centralized source.

This power supply is designed for commercial access control environments that require simultaneous power to multiple electromagnetic locks, electric strikes, or other locking hardware alongside auxiliary device loads such as request-to-exit sensors, door contacts, and alarm peripherals. Its 16-lock and 16-auxiliary output configuration reduces the number of individual power supplies needed in a panel room or IDF closet, consolidating power distribution for mid- to large-scale deployments in office buildings, schools, hospitals, and government facilities.

Key Features

• 500 watts total distributed output capacity across lock and auxiliary circuits
• 16 dedicated lock power outputs for electromagnetic locks, strikes, or similar hardware
• 16 auxiliary outputs for sensors, readers, and other low-voltage peripherals
• Class 2 output rating in compliance with NEC low-voltage circuit requirements
• High-density output count reduces panel room power supply count in large installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or system-expansion power supply for commercial access control panels requiring Class 2 distributed lock and auxiliary power.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage electrician or security systems technician in accordance with NEC Article 725 Class 2 circuit requirements and applicable local codes. Disconnect and lock out all upstream power before servicing or wiring outputs. Verify that the total connected load on lock and auxiliary circuits does not exceed the rated output capacity of each circuit or the 500-watt aggregate rating. Proper enclosure grounding and fusing of individual outputs should be confirmed before commissioning.
