Extended Product Information

FAQs

How many circuits can the PDM32 control?

The PDM32 has 32 individual power outputs, allowing it to control a large number of vehicle circuits.

What is the maximum total current the PDM32 can handle?

The total continuous maximum current the PDM32 can handle across all outputs is 120A.

Can I replace my existing fuse box and relays with the PDM32?

Yes, the PDM32 is designed to replace traditional fuse boxes and relays, offering a more integrated and controllable solution.

What software is used to configure the PDM32?

The AIM PDM32 is configured using the RaceStudio3 software.

Does the PDM32 include a dash display?

The PDM32 is available with optional 5", 6", or 10" TFT dash displays, but they are not included as standard with all configurations.

What data can the internal data logger record?

The data logger can record PDM output status, ECU data, lap times, GPS data, and inputs from expansion modules.

Can I use the dash display as a reversing camera monitor?

Yes, the dash display can function as a reversing mirror by connecting separately available cameras, supporting up to two cameras for front and rear views.

Troubleshooting

Device not powering on

Verify the main power connection to the PDM32. Ensure the input voltage is within the specified range. Check the fuse (if applicable to the power supply circuit).

Specific output not activating

Check the configuration for that output in RaceStudio3. Ensure it is enabled and correctly assigned. Verify the physical wiring to the load and the PDM32. Confirm the load does not exceed the output's current rating.

Data logger not recording expected data

Ensure the data logging feature is enabled in RaceStudio3. Verify all desired inputs (ECU, sensors, PDM outputs) are correctly configured and connected. Check available memory on the logging device.

GPS not acquiring signal

Ensure the GPS09 module is correctly connected and has a clear view of the sky. Check for obstructions. Try moving to an open area away from buildings.

Dash display not showing information

Confirm the dash display is properly connected to the PDM32. Check the display's configuration settings within RaceStudio3. Ensure the display itself is powered on.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly simplifies complex vehicle wiring.
  • Enhances reliability by reducing potential failure points (fuses, relays).
  • Provides detailed real-time feedback and logging of electrical system status.
  • Offers advanced control functions, including PWM for soft start/stop.
  • Scalable with optional dash displays and expansion modules.
  • Durable construction suitable for harsh environments.

Cons

  • Requires advanced knowledge for configuration and integration.
  • Initial setup can be time-consuming due to extensive features.
  • Cost may be higher than traditional fuse/relay systems for basic applications.
  • Learning curve associated with the RaceStudio3 software.
  • Cameras and some expansion modules are sold separately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Wiring: Connect your vehicle's circuits to the appropriate high-sided or half-bridge outputs on the PDM32 using the supplied 35-pin AMP connector. Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated.
  2. Software Configuration: Utilize the RaceStudio3 software to configure each output's current rating, fault retry parameters, and assign functions (e.g., PWM, switch input control). Connect the PDM32 to a PC via USB for configuration.
  3. ECU Integration: If connecting to a vehicle's ECU, select the appropriate protocol within RaceStudio3 to enable data reception and logging.
  4. Optional Modules: Install and connect the GPS09 module and/or dash display according to their respective instructions.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with most ECUs via its extensive protocol library (over 1000 available).
  • Supports various input devices, including CAN keypads and push buttons.
  • Dash displays offer 'Race' and 'Street' icon sets.

Care:

  • Keep the unit clean and free from excessive dust and moisture, especially the connectors.
  • Periodically check wiring connections for security and signs of corrosion.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit, as it can generate heat under load.
  • Software updates for RaceStudio3 should be applied regularly to benefit from new features and improvements.
