Modes of Operation 

 

Standby Mode 

In Standby Mode the PDU is dormant with zero consumption.  It awakes either by turning the Ignition ON or 
by depressing the test switch.  The test switch will turn on all outputs for two minutes and if no other action 
is taken during this time, the PDU will go dormant again. 

 

Low Battery Voltage Shutdown Mode 

The PDU provides a battery protection by turning off the outputs when the voltage reaches a pre-set value.  
This setting is the same for both groups. 

 

Timed Shutdown Mode 

The PDU allows the user to set the time remaining after the ignition switch is turned off.  This setting is the 
same for both groups.  The 7 segment display will cycle through and indicate the time remaining for each 
output group. 

 

Test Mode 

Pressing the TIME SETUP/TEST button for at least 2 seconds will start a 20 second test mode for both output 
groups. 

 

Reset Mode 

Pressing the VOLTAGE SETUP/RESET button for at least 2 seconds will reset the PDU to STANDBY mode. 

 

Vehicle Battery Voltage Monitoring 

The vehicle battery voltage is continuously monitored.
