Interface Cable

The BDx Module includes a 15-pin D-Sub male to 37-pin D-Sub male interface cable to integrate the BDx Module with a MagnaDC programmable DC power supply. Connecting the Interface Cable ensures safe operation, allowing the BDx Module to shut down the power supply in the event of BDx Module thermal alarm.

The Interface Cable’s 15-pin connector is attached to the BDx Module and the 37-pin connector is attached to the MagnaDC programmable DC power supply.

The power supply’s interlock feature must be enabled to allow the BDx Module to perform a shutdown. Refer to the power supply documentation for instructions on how to enable this interlock feature.

Warning

FIRE HAZARD. Failure to connect the Interface Cable or enable interlock on the MagnaDC power supply could result in overheating and catastrophic failure of the BDx Module.
