Programming Dashboard (Windows Only):
Programming allows you to configure individual circuit amperage limits, individual circuit triggering methods, and timed
delay on and off options. The dashboard programming software is available for download on the homepage of our
website: www.pdm60.com. After downloading the dashboard setup file, unzip the folder and run the setup file. The
dashboard help file will guide you through the programming procedure.
Programming Procedure:
1. Disconnect power to the PDM60, leaving power connected will interfere with programming or cause damage
2. Open the dashboard and plug in the programming cable to the computer
3. Next plug in the cable to the PDM60, be sure to orient the cable correctly as shown in the photo below
4. All the leds should be flashing rapidly indicating it is ready to program
5.
Make sure the correct COM port and “pdm60 programming cable” are selected in Options under the File menu
6.
Configure the settings and click “program” then wait a few seconds for the successful message to appear
7.
Unplug the cable from the PDM60 and it’s ready for installation on your vehicle.

Programming Options:
Ignition Trigger - GRAY WIRE
The Ignition Trigger (IT) responds to positive voltage. Any circuits assigned to activate on IT mode will go live when it detects a positive
voltage. If the IT is connected to a vehicle wire that goes
“live” when the ignition is turned on, the PDM60 circuits set to IT will activate
and deactivate with the ignition. All PDM60 circuits are factory set to Ignition Trigger.
Ground Trigger - BLUE WIRE
The Ground Trigger (GT) wire responds to any ground signal. Any circuits assigned to activate on GT mode will go live when it detects
a ground signal. This feature is great for switching high amperage loads on/off, without the use of relays. Connect the blue GT wire to
any switch that leads to ground and you can easily switch all GT circuits on or off with the switch.
Switching Mode (assign one mode for each of the six PDM60 circuits)
The “switching mode” is the parameter used to establish the behavior of each circuit.
INACTIVE - for circuits not being used
IGNITION TRIGGER
– Circuit activates with the ignition trigger
IGNITION TRIGGER (with time delay off)
– Circuit activates with ignition trigger and turns off after the “shutoff delay”
GROUND TRIGGER
– Circuit activates with the ground trigger
IGNITION
OR
GROUND TRIGGER
– Circuit activates with Ignition trigger or ground trigger
IGNITION
OR
GROUND TRIGGER (with time delay off)
– Circuit activates with either trigger and turns off after “shutoff delay”
IGNITION
AND
GROUND TRIGGER
–
Circuit activates with both the ignition trigger and ground trigger
ALWAYS LIVE
– Circuit is active without the use of triggers
WARNING
–
THE ALWAYS LIVE
CONFIG HAS A CONSTANT CURRENT DRAW OF 50mA
– IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR
VEHICLE BATTERIES WITH LESS THAN A 15Ah RATING, NOR FOR VEHICLES THAT ARE USED INFREQUENTLY or IN STORAGE
WITHOUT A CHARGING SYSTEM CONNECTED
