TTL PDI WIRING
The device is connected to the
RED
wire; a 47K
Ω
resistor is
necessary to supply the ground level to the device.
12 V PDI CONNECTION
See P/N 1050 Manual.
SETTING PDI DISTANCE
(i.e. feet/miles/kilos between pulses)
STEP 1
: Set the measurement units, (feet,miles or KM), you wish
to use for your PDI distance. Even though the default “1”
appears, you must re-enter the required PDI Distance number and
press
MARK/ENTR
.
STEP 2
: Next, press the following keys:
8PDI
key,
2UNIT
key
(DISTANCE),
MARK/ENTR
key.

SETTING PDI DURATION
(TIME = milliseconds the pulse is ON)
STEP 1
: Press the following keys:
8PDI
key,
3PD
key (number
of milliseconds),
MARK/ENTR
key. 1000 mill-secs = 1 sec.
STEP 2
: Remember, depending on your PDI distance, if your pul
es are too long they can run together at high speeds. If you use
pulses of less than 10 milliseconds duration then this should not
happen at normal highway speeds. If you need longer pulses use
the following formula to find what your absolute maximum speed
will be.
SPEED
= (PDI Length) * 1000/ (PDI Time in milliseconds)
This speed will be in Length/second units and use your standard
conversion factors to change to KPH or MPH
For feet/second -> MPH multiply by 0.6818
For kilometers/sec -> KPH multiply by 3600
SETTING PDI DURATION (DISTANCE)
(i.e. feet/miles/kilos pulse is ON)
STEP 1
: Press the following keys:
8PDI
key,
3PD
key,
DISP/HOLD
key, (DISTANCE)
MARK/ENTR
key.
