Cartek Power Distribution Module

Cartek Power Distribution Module, complete with cable. The 4 channel Power Distribution Module from Cartekhas been designed to replace the functions of fuses, circuit breakers and relays in one small, fully electronic unit. These modules are ideal for race cars and motorcycles which have minimal onboard electrical circuits but still require rugged, reliable protection and control.

With it's smple connections and no configuration procedures required, this system very easy use and quick to install. Outputs can be used to control power to various devices such as ECUs, instrumentation, lighting, starter solenoids, radiator fans, etc. Visual over-current and short-circuit indication makes fault finding simple.

FEATURES

• Fully electronic with no moving parts
• 4 x 10 Amp Channels
• Totally sealed against water and dirt
• Completely resistant to shock and vibration
• Each channel incorporates over-current protection
• Channels can be controlled by switch or signal inputs
• Dual-coloured status LED for each channel
• Very small and with a weight of just 80g
• UK manufactured using high quality components

HOW IT WORKS
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 (push button 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.
