Key Features
------------

The BDx Module offers a turn-key rack-mount blocking diode solution, including:

* Fully integrated and enclosed heatsinking and fan cooling
* User I/O status feedback including a temperature alarm state
* Front panel status indicator
* Heavy-duty tin-plated copper bus bars
* Remote sensing terminal for voltage feedback compensation
* Universal single phase active-PFC AC input connection

Internally, semiconductors are secured to Magna-Power manufactured heatsinks with fans and integrated thermocouples. An internal microprocessor monitors the internal temperature and provides +5V digital output signal when the system is powered and in a normal operating state. This +5V signal can be easily integrated into interlock systems, to ensure power is only driven through the BDx Module when its powered on and cooling is functional. Additional, a +5V digital input allows control of when the BDx Module is turned off and on, providing complete integration with a connected power supply.
