Installation

CAN Keypads

The CAN Keypads continuously communicate with the PDM which will
prevent the PDM from entering its low power standby mode.

Options for powering the keypads include:

-

Configuring the PDM to always power the keypads.

This allows buttons on the keypads to be used for master startup
functions, but the PDM would never enter standby mode.

To minimize battery drain, the isolator would need to be turned off (eg.
during vehicle transport or storage)

-

Wiring a master switch or ignition key input to the PDM.

All outputs (including the keypad power) would be configured to turn
off when the master switch or key is turned off.

This allows the PDM to enter standby mode, minimizing battery drain.

PDM Manager Software Installation

The PDM Manager software is used to:

Change the PDM configuration

Monitor the PDM operation including the output currents and

diagnostics

Test the outputs by manually turning them off and on

Set and unlock security password

PC Requirements
