CARTEK Power Distribution Modules have been designed to be a simple but effective solution to improving your vehicles electronics. Our PDM’s come with a selection of amperage and function settings to choose from – simplifying the configuration process greatly.

 

The CARTEK Power Distribution Modules use the latest solid state technology to provide over-current and short circuit protection to your electrical components. If an electrical component draws more current than expected or experiences a short circuit then the CARTEK PDM will safely shut down the output automatically. The RGB status LED will indicate a fault on the channel when this occurs and the channel can be reset by either pressing the integrated push button or by turning the channel off and on again.

CARTEK Power Distribution Modules come with a range of functions to operate Headlights, Indicators, Heated Screens, Wiper Motors, Rad Fans, Fuel Pumps etc. Channels can also be operated by a range of input types such as momentary/latching switches and ground or battery positive activation. CAN-Bus is also available allowing diagnostic data to be displayed and recorded by third party devices. CARTEK PDM’s can also be controlled by CAN messages.

OVERVIEW

The PDM-5 is a small 5 channel PDM – designed for users that don’t require CAN-Bus. Outputs can power Ignition coils, Rad Fans, Fuel Pumps, Rain Lights etc. The PDM-5 can also be configured to become a dedicated Car lights or Spot Lamps controller. Inputs can be configured to activate with either momentary or latching style switches/signals.

OVERVIEW

A new addition to the CARTEK PDM family – the CARTEK PDM-8C.

This PDM features 8 outputs in total of which:

• 2 x high-current outputs with a maximum current limit of 40 Amps each – recommended 30 Amp continuous.
• 4 x outputs with a maximum current limit of 20 Amps each – recommended 15 Amp continuous.
• 2 x outputs (optimised for wiper motors) with a maximum current limit of 15 Amps each – recommended 10 Amp continuous.

The CARTEK PDM-8C has also been designed with a choice of pre-set functions which allows timed output controls for use by Fuel Pumps, Rad Fans, Heated Screen etc.

FULL HEADLIGHT CONTROL:

It also features a choice of dedicated logic functions to control Headlights (tail lights/low beam/high beam/spot light). Tail Light output will automatically come on if either low beam or high beam outputs have been activated. Spot Light logic where the output will only turn on if High Beam has been activated. A headlight flash input can also be configured where you have a choice of which lights to flash (Low beam/High beam/Spot Lights) as well as a choice of flash frequencies.

WIPER MOTOR CONTROL:

The PDM-8C has been designed with 2-speed wiper motor control in mind. Low speed and High speed functions can be chosen as well as a wash pump function which will automatically activate the High speed output if used. The Wiper park input can be configured to react with a falling edge (Active low – most common) or rising edge (Active high) signal.

KEY FEATURES

• 8 x Outputs (2 High power)
• Selectable ‘Soft Start’ option for driving devices with high inrush such as fans or pumps.
• 8 x Inputs – select from Active Low/Active High/Edge Triggered/Always on or PWM signal (200hz max).
• 3 x Auxiliary Input – can be used as Ignition input or additional logic functions such as Hazard input, Wiper Park, Headlight Flash etc.
• 6 standard output functions such as Input Controlled, Flashing (1Hz), Timer on 5 mins/10 mins and Over-run 5 mins/10 mins available. 4 Headlight functions and 3 wiper functions also available.
• CAN Bus connectivity for transmitting diagnostic data including output status, volts, amps, configuration settings, etc. Outputs can also be operated through CAN Bus.
• RGB status LED’s on PDM indicate status of Inputs and Outputs.
• All connections via sealed 12 pin Amphenol (Deutsch DT) connectors. PDM comes supplied with crimps and mating connector.
• Max current output: 120 Amps
• Operational Voltage: 8-18V
