solenoids, etc, each of these loads must have a reverse protection
diode either built-in or external to the device.
ck Battery Connection (BAT+ & BAT–)
Faston connectors for connection of the backup battery set.
Pre-terminated battery leads are provided. See the Specifications
section for the maximum battery size. If no battery set is to be
used, ensure the BAT DET jumper is off to prevent a fault condition
from being annunciated. The generation 2 FPO power supply has
built-in low battery disconnect to prevent deep discharge of the
batteries and to prevent damage to sensitive equipment.
HSelect the proper battery type before connecting a battery set
to the FPO power supply. See #15
HNote that FPO75 PCB and FPO150-250 PCB's have different
battery connection layouts.
HAn FPO set for a 12V output requires a 12V battery set. An FPO supply set
for a 24V output must use a 24V battery set (two 12V batteries in series).
HObserve polarity or damage to the system will occur.
HIt is the installer’s responsibility to determine the proper bat-
tery size for the installation. See the Specifications section for
standby current requirements.

4.Verify DC1 output voltage with a meter.
a. If set for the 12V nominal setting, the
voltage should be approximately 12.5VDC
b. If set for the 24V nominal setting, the
voltage should be approximately 25.0VDC
5.Connect battery, if required for the installation.
6.Verify that no yellow LEDs are lit on the FPO power
supply.
7.If used, activate the FAI input and verify that the red
“FAI” LED lights and that the DC2 output pow-
ers down. Deactivate the FAI input (and reset
the input if configured for latching) and verify
that the red FAI LED extinguishes and the DC2
output returns to normal.
8.If the battery presence jumper is enabled, remove
one lead from the battery – verify that the yel-
low “SYS FLT” LED lights. Reconnect the bat-
tery and the “SYS FLT” LED should extinguish.
9.If the Earth Ground jumper is enabled, connect a
wire from the ground stud on the enclosure to
the DC1+ terminal – the “GND FLT” and “SYS
FLT” LEDs should light. Remove the wire and
the “GND FLT” and “SYS FLT” LEDs should
extinguish. Repeat for the DC1- terminal.
10.When a standby battery set is used, remove AC
power from the FPO power supply. Verify that
the “DC1” LED remains lit and that the “AC
FLT” LED lights. Reconnect AC power and
verify that the “AC FLT” extinguishes.

Troubleshooting
Section 2 – Troubleshooting and Maintenance
2.1 Troubleshooting Table
Symptom Possible Problem Information / Possible Solution
SYS FLT LED lit and SYS
FLT relay indicating a
trouble condition
Battery Disconnected • Verify that the battery is connected to the FPO. Check all crimp connec-
tions on the battery leads
• Verify that the battery set being used is charged and in good condition
• If no battery will be used in the installation, remove the BAT DET jumper
Earth Ground Fault • This fault will be accompanied by the GND FLT LED being lit and will
only display if the EARTH GND DET jumper is ON
• An impedance exists between earth ground and a voltage output or DC Com-
mon connection on the FPO power supply, an accessory board, or any con-
nected piece of equipment. Isolate the connection with the impedance by
removing wires in groups or one at a time until the fault clears. Note that
most accessory board terminal strips are removable
• Ensure that no other equipment in the system is set to detect earth ground
faults (including other FPO power supplies in the system). Enabling earth
ground detection on more than one piece of equipment in a system will
cause a conflict and may cause one or all pieces of equipment in the system
to display an earth ground fault
Low Battery Voltage • Battery discharged or damaged– Allow the battery to charge or replace
the battery
High Battery Voltage • Incorrect battery set– Ensure the battery set is configured properly for the
output voltage setting
• Problem with battery charging circuit– Contact LifeSafety Power
High or Low Output Voltage • Measure the output voltage at the DC1 terminals. The voltage should be
12.50V for the 12V setting or 25.00V for the 24V setting (±10%). Contact
LifeSafety Power if the voltage is outside of this range
Blown Fuse • Check the Battery fuse.
• Verify the integrity of the output wiring and powered devices before replac-
ing any ruptured fuses. Replace fuses only with the same type and rating
Accessory Board Fault • Verify that no fault conditions are present on any accessory board or
other FPO power supplies in the enclosure. The FlexIO connectors may
be disconnected to isolate the source of an accessory fault.
Internal Problem • Contact Lifesafety Power
AC FLT LED lit and AC FLT
relay indicating a trouble
condition
Primary AC Voltage Low or
Missing
• Verify that the AC input voltage is 120V or 230V (±15%) with a meter.
For safety, the green AC ON LED indicates the presence of any AC volt-
age on the input, but not the integrity of the voltage
120/230 Jumper (JP1) Set
Incorrectly
• Verify that JP1 is set correctly– intact for 120V input, cut for 230V input
• Note: Models ending in "-E" are factory set for 230VAC operation and
cannot be changed to 110VAC operation
Internal problem • Contact LifeSafety Power
No DC1 Output
DC1 LED Extinguished
Power Supply Shut Down • Verify DC output voltage, AC power, and backup battery voltage (if used)
• Check output load integrity and current draw
• If the FPO detects ten output faults within one minute, the supply will
shut down, transfer to battery backup (if available), and generate a fault
condition. Cycle AC power to reset the supply after determining the
cause of the output fault condition

Troubleshooting
Symptom Possible Problem Information / Possible Solution
No DC2 Output
DC2 LSD Extinguished
Output disabled due to FAI • The DC2 output is disabled when the FAI input is active. Verify the red
FAI LED is extinguished.
Power Supply Shut Down • Verify DC output voltage, AC power, and backup battery voltage (if used)
• Check output load integrity and current draw
• If the FPO detects ten output faults within one minute, the supply will
shut down, transfer to battery backup (if available), and generate a fault
condition. Cycle AC power to reset the supply after determining the
cause of the output fault condition
REV BAT LED lit Battery connection reversed • Check the polarity of the battery connections at both ends of the battery
harness
• This LED will be accompanied by a blown Battery Fuse
AC ON LED Extinguished Missing or extremely
low AC Input
• Verify that the AC input voltage is 120V or 230V (±15%) with a meter
Blown AC Fuse • The FPO power supply’s AC input fuse is non-replaceable, as rupture of
this fuse indicates a major malfunction within the FPO supply. Contact Life-
Safety Power
Missing Battery
