Power distribution

PowerLogic PDM

Ten-channel power distribution module with current monitoring and resettable electronic protection.

PowerLogic PDM CAD render

PowerLogic PDM enclosure with output headers, keypad port and SurLok battery terminal.

What it does

  • Ten solid-state outputs replace fuses and relays, with the current on every channel monitored.
  • Everything is controlled over CAN, from keypads or other modules, so there are no analog or switch inputs to wire.
  • Bluetooth and microSD logging.
  • Battery connections through SurLok Plus terminals at opposite ends, outputs through two Deutsch headers.

Not to scale. Check the numbers molded on the connector before wiring. Pin colors only show each pin's function. They don't reflect the actual wire colors of any included pigtail.

Before you buy

  • Blink keypads use a DTM04-4P connector, so they need an adapter lead.
  • There is no ignition input: the module's run state comes from a keypad key or CAN command.
