The series is available in two mechanical formats. The U-channel units provide 250W when convection cooled and 450W – 500W with external forced air cooling. The top fan cover version, including a variable speed integral cooling fan for low audible noise, provides a complete 450W – 500W solution.

The product has a low patient leakage current and provides 2x MOPP from input to case, 2x MOPP from input to output and 1 x MOPP from output to ground. Input to case and input to output isolation is rated at 4000VAC and output to ground is 1500VAC. Both conducted and radiated emissions are class B, and the series is compliant with IEC/ES/EN 60601-1 edition 3.1 and 60601-1-2 edition 4

The PBL500 series includes a 5V standby supply, overvoltage and overcurrent protection, remote sense, and thermal shutdown. Also available is an “AC OK” signal and remote on/off control. The U channel version also provides a 12V 0.3A output suitable for powering system cooling fans.
