This Power Distribution Module is ideal for race cars and motorcycles which have minimal onboard electrical circuits but still require rugged and reliable protection and control.
Simple connections and no configuration procedures makes this system very easy to use and quick to install.
The 4 x 10 amp outputs can be used to control power to various devices such as ECUs, instrumentation, lighting, starter solenoid, radiator fan, etc.
Channels will automatically shut down if a short circuit or over-current is detected – LED Status indication on the PDM and Cartek Switch Panels makes fault finding simple.
The Cartek Power Distribution Module Kit is a direct replacement for 4 x 10amp Fuses, 4 Relays and 4 Switches. This unit therefore reduces all the wiring in between the Fuses, Relays and Switches as well as simplifying the installation.
When mounting the PDM, electrical contact must be made between the vehicle’s chassis/earth and the metal case of the PDM at its mounting points. 12v Power Input is supplied to the PDM via the M6 electrical stud. Power Output connections are made using 6.3mm spade terminals.
Each channel is turned ON by connecting the corresponding channel signal wire to chassis/earth. Connection can be made using dashboard switches, oil pressure switches, thermo-switches, etc. When a Cartek Switch Panel (pushbutton switches with integrated LED) is used then the LED will display the channel status:
No LED = Channel OFF
LED on = Channel ON
Flashing = ERROR
When short-circuit or over current is detected, the PDM will shut down that channel and the corresponding LED will begin to flash. To reset the error, switch the channel OFF then ON again.
