Overview: 

 

The PDM60 provides 6 individual circuits, with a total load handling capability of 60 Amps. The unit is designed to connect directly to a 
primary (12V) power source (vehicle battery), and efficiently power, protect and monitor the supply of power to your electrical/electronic 
devices.  
A stock configuration is installed on all PDM60 units when they ship from the factory. If desired, the unit is ready to use, fresh out of the 
package, without any additional programming. The stock configuration is shown in the screenshot below.

You are also able to create your own custom configuration, and load it into the PDM60 using a PC/laptop via the programming 
dashboard, and custom programming cable. 

You’re able to configure individual circuit amperage limits, individual circuit triggering 

methods, circuit delay activation and delay off settings. Below is a screenshot of the dashboard program. 

You’ll need to have a 

Windows compatible PC with .NET Framework 4 installed. The link below will allow you to download the appropriate .NET files as
