LifeSafety Power FPO75

FPO75

75W Power Supply/Charger, 6A/12V or 3A/24V

LifeSafety Power FPO75 is a patented power management system for security and life safety applications.

The FPO75 is an offline switchmode power supply-battery charger specifically designed for the lifesafety industry capable of providing two outputs, user selectable for 12 or 24VDC.

One output provides continuous output power and the second is programmable to either fail-safe or fail-secure lock operation, when the onboard fire alarm interface is activated

Complete fault detection and reporting, with programmable fault delays, is provided along with datalogging capability of fault occurrence, battery usage time and current power supply status.

Standard Features

The microprocessor controlled charging process used by the FPO power supply guarantees proper charging current for the battery and the fastest charge time. The constant current charger provides a linear, predictable charge time for any lead acid, gel battery set from 4 to 40 amphours without stress or damage to the battery.

One single switch for configuring the output between 12 and 24VDC eliminates field errors and allows for the reduction and simplification of service inventory by eliminating the necessity of stocking units in each voltage.

Output power capability of the power supply remains constant regardless of the output voltage setting. For example, a FlexPower 250 watt supply will provide 10 amps at 24VDC and 20 amps at 12VDC, allowing the same number of locking devices to be used at either the 12 or 24V setting.

Intelligent battery charging and battery state monitoring improve battery performance. Install hours are tracked and reported for optimum service life.

Power supply and accessory board interconnection system uses common mounting footprints, predrilled mounting holes, snap-in standoffs, pluggable wires, and a dual buss distribution architecture to simplify installation and service.

FPO power supplies are fully fault protected and feature fiberglass printed circuit boards to protect the electronics from water and other corrosive elements found in industrial settings. High efficiency design promotes low heat generation leading to longer service life.

FlexPower systems are RoHs compliant, lead-free, and meet the latest state, federal and European requirements for energy efficiency

Key power functions can be monitored and reported through any device, anywhere at any time with BluSKY™ Power Management.

Fault Detection and Reporting

The comprehensive fault detection and reporting mechanism of the FPO series provides for both local and remote fault reporting

On-board visual indicators are provided to give immediate installer feedback. Independent form C relay contacts are provided to report AC and system fault conditions to remote or auxiliary equipment.

Detected Fault Conditions

  1. AC Power
    1. AC loss, AC low
  2. DC Power and System
    1. Abnormal or loss of power supply operation
    2. Over current, over temperature condition
    3. DC output high, low
    4. Battery Presence, Earth Ground (user optional)
    5. Reversed battery condition, blown fuse or loss of output voltage on selected accessory boards (detected on the power supply)

Fire Alarm Interface (FAI)

Activation Methods

  1. DC voltage: 9 to 33VDC, 3 to 15mA
    1. Dry contact NO/NC

Latch Enable
