FlexPower Features
VSelect®
Jumper selectable voltage of 24 or 28VAC by zone allows
for the reduction and simplification of service inventory by
eliminating the necessity of stocking units in each voltage.
FlexConnect®
The FlexPower series provides a prewired interconnection
system between the power supplies and accessory boards
of the power system that eliminates inter-module wiring
by the field installer. Field upgrading is as simple as using
common mounting footprints, predrilled mounting holes,
snap-in standoffs, and pluggable wires to add additional
system capability or capacity when needed.
Reliability+®
All power supplies within the FlexPower system are fully
fault protected and feature conformal coating on the elec-
tronic PC boards to protect the electronics from water, dust,
and other corrosive elements found in industrial settings.
GreenSmart®
All members of the FlexPower family are RoHs compliant,
lead-free, and meet the new state and federal requirements
for energy efficiency.
FlexPower Power Management System CCTV Standard Features
FlexPower's advanced feature set provides greater product reliability, increased flexibility, shorter install time, a smaller service
inventory, and an intelligent, economical solution to the problem of reliable system power.

Quick Install Guide
Enclosure-Level Products
Mounting an enclosure to a wall is via the two recessed
keyholes and two recessed mounting holes in the back of
the enclosure.
1. (Optional) Remove the enclosure’s cover.
2. Locate the top keyhole mounting holes in the back of the
enclosure.
3. Mark and pre-drill the locations for the keyholes in the
mounting surface.
4. Partially install two fasteners appropriate for the sur-
face on which the enclosure is being installed. Leave the
heads of the fasteners approximately ¼" out from the
surface. Minimum fastener size should be #10 or larger.
5. Hang the enclosure on the two fasteners and mark the
locations of the two bottom mounting holes.
6. Remove the enclosure and pre-drill the locations for the
two bottom mounting holes.
7. Re-hang the enclosure on the top mounting fasteners,
start the bottom two fasteners and tighten all fasteners.
8. Reinstall the enclosure’s cover, if removed in step 1.
i It is the installer’s responsibility to determine the ap-
propriate fastening system for use with the surface to
which the enclosure is being mounted.

1AC Input (J9)
The primary AC input for the FPA Series power supplies. Multi-trans-
former supplies should have all transformer primaries connected to-
gether then connect to the AC Line. Input must be 120VAC 60Hz.
• White - Neutral
• Black - Hot
• Green/Yellow - Earth Ground
HAlways connect Earth Ground first and remove last
2A8(P) Board Zone Outputs
The zone outputs on the A8 boards distribute the transformer power
to the devices to be powered. These terminal strips are removable
and accept wire sizes from AWG14 - AWG22. Phasing is indicated on
the PC Board.
3Output Selection Jumpers (JP1 - JP8)
These jumpers select which voltage buss input is selected for the out-
put. Jumper numbers correspond with the zone number (eg. JP1 is
the jumper for OUT1). Possible settings are as follows:
• Position 2 (Left) - 28VAC (18V for 16.5/18V FPA models)
• Position 1 (Right) - 24VAC (16.5V for 16.5/18V FPA models)
• Removed - Disable Output
4Output Fuses (F1 - F8) - Optional
When using the fused version of the A8, these are the fuses for each
zone output. Fuse numbers correspond with the zone number (eg. F1
is the fuse for OUT1). When using the PTC version of the A8, the fuse
will be replaced with a soldered-in PTC.
5Output LEDs (D1 - A8) - Green
These LEDs indicate the availability of voltage on a zone’s output.
When voltage is available on the output terminals, the LED is lit. LED
numbers correspond with the zone number (eg. D1 is the LED for
OUT1).
1.2 Connections and Setup HEnsure all power is disconnected before wiring.

1.3 Typical Installation & Wire Routing
The drawing above shows a typical installation. Actual con-
figuration and wire routing will vary based on the compo-
nents installed in your system. The following guidelines
should be followed for installation.
• Class 2 Power limited wiring must be separated from
non-power limited wiring by a minimum of 1/4 inch and
must use separate knockouts.
• AC Input Power must enter the enclosure via one of the
3/4" single knockouts
• The installation and all wiring methods shall be in ac-
cordance with ANSI/NFPA70 and all local codes.
• For Canadian Installations - For permanently connected
equipment, a readily accessible disconnect device shall
be incorporated external to the equipment. Output cir-
cuits not connected to removable terminal strips shall
also utilize a readily accessible disconnect device.
• Any wiring passing through knockouts in the bottom or
top surfaces of the enclosure must be enclosed in rigid
or flexible metal conduit.

1.4 Power-Up and Basic System Verification Checklist
Q 1. Ensure proper configuration of all jumpers.
Q 2. Apply AC power to the FPA power supply.
Q 3. Ensure all green Zone LEDs are lit.
Q 4. Verify zone output voltage with a meter.
a. If the zone's jumper is set in position 1 , the
voltage should be approximately 24VAC
b. If the zone's jumper is set in position 2, the
voltage should be approximately 28VAC
Note that the exact voltage will vary with the
AC line voltage and loading

Wire disconnected Verify that all wires are connected between the transformer and
the A8 board(s) in the system. Ensure that all crimp connections
are secure.
Transformer problem Verify that 24 and 28V (or 16.5 and 18V for 16.5/18V FPA Models)
are being output from the transformer. If not, the transformer's
internal protection may have opened. Contact LifeSafety Power.
A8 Board Problem Verify all jumpers and fuses are in place and intact. Contact Life-
Safety Power.
Incorrect voltage out of zone Zone jumper set incorrectly Verify the proper setting of the zone jumper
AC Input voltage incorrect Verify AC input is 120VAC
Improper wiring between
transformer and A8 board(s)
Verify the proper wiring between the transformer and A8 boards.
Contact LifeSafety Power for assistance.
2.2 Maintenance Instructions
The following are the maintenance instructions for the FPA
Series power supply system.
• Disconnect AC power prior to servicing
