For quick, programmable power on the go, LifeSafety Power has the smart solution: the B150 Intelligent Step-Down Converter, designed for dual voltage in a single enclosure.
The B150 power conversion module, aka “dual voltage with intelligence,” launched at GSX 2024 in Orlando this week and provides an economical, user-selectable voltage output for FlexPower® Unified Power Solutions®.

The B150 enhances power output capabilities, similarly to the B100
The B150 step-down converter offers an additional voltage in a FlexPower system by converting a higher input voltage to a lower output. Primary power for the B150 comes from a LifeSafety Power power supply, which the B150 adjusts down to a user-defined range. The B150 is jumper selectable for either a fixed 12VDC or an adjustable range between 3-18VDC at 6 amps maximum current. An on-board LED display provides real-time values for output voltage, current and input power.
The B150 enhances power output capabilities, similarly to the B100. The B150 offers additional functionality in that it can be paired with the LifeSafety Power NetLink® network connectivity module for remote power management, monitoring and control through a RS485 port. For example, users can receive notifications of power fault or voltage drops and perform remote power cycling and programming through the B150 and NetLink.
As integrators add new devices to their solutions, the B150 can be used to power modems, routers and other IT devices or components without increasing the size of the enclosure. It also eliminates the need for a 12V battery set in dual voltage access power systems.
