LifeSafety Power Announces New Power Integration with ProdataKey

LifeSafety Power (LSP), in partnership with ProdataKey (PDK), continues to build upon its industry-leading innovation and legacy of integrating access control boards and power modules into a single, pre-engineered enclosure.

LifeSafety Power announced a new FlexPower® technology alliance with ProdataKey, expanding its Unified Power Solutions® with a streamlined enclosure designed to integrate ProdataKey controllers. PDK, Draper, Utah, is the provider of cloud-managed access control security management solutions.

This new Unified Power Solution allows security integrators to take advantage of a single chassis engineered to coordinate electrical and mechanical integration, providing faster, time-saving installations, repeatable designs, and greater service efficiencies for PDK installations. Compatible with PDK Red Series controllers, multiple LifeSafety Power FlexPower modules can be connected in the access control power systems, controlling up to 32 doors.

A removable back plate controller wiring configuration and expansion slots are ready for easy installation of additional power distribution modules and components. The preconnected power section further saves configuration time and an AC disconnect point makes servicing straightforward.

Available in options of single (12 or 24V DC) or dual voltage operation (12 and 24V DC), each LSP output is protected against electrical surges caused by lightening or transients on the external wiring (SurgeShield). LSP control outputs are field-selectable for available DC voltages, either failsafe or fail secure operation with fire alarm interface.

The enclosure also includes space for LifeSafety Power NetLink® Network Connectivity modules for intelligent managed power. NetLink technology enables detailed power health reporting, remote troubleshooting and battery testing, email/SNMP alerts and other proactive and predictive data.

The PDK Unified Power Solution joins the growing list of access control integrated power options. LifeSafety Power has over 17 OEM partnerships covering a wide range of component manufacturers.

Invented by LifeSafety Power in 2010, FlexPower Unified Power eliminates the use of three separate enclosures formerly deployed for access control installations. It requires less wall space, wiring and only one AC drop, resulting in up to 50 percent space savings and as much as 40 percent installation savings.
