V) LOAD GROUP POWER ACTIVATION PROGRAMMING
Switch Guide
Programming Overview
The PDS-100 can be programmed to independently disconnect the 3 Load Groups based on various selected conditions.
There are 3 input elements to the programming process
1) Dip-Switches
Programming is provided though three sets of dip-switch modules. One per each Load Group. Each set is divided into two
sections. The first section, made up of switches 5 & 6, is for selecting the power activation MODE to the Load Group. The
second section, made up of switches 1 through 4, is for setting either a TIMER duration or Low Voltage Disconnect and
reconnect (LVD) level of the Load Group (dependent on MODE selected). Use a screwdriver or pen to adjust dip switch
positions; there are two positions - up and down.
2) SET Button
This switch is used to put the PDS-100 into programming mode and save settings to memory. Also used for resetting the
PDS-100 to factory defaults (see Setting to Factory Defaults on page 9).
3) RESET Button
This switch resets the microcontroller. Use it to exit the programming mode without saving any settings and when resetting
the PDS-100 back to factory defaults.
WARNING: pressing the RESET switch will momentarily interrupt power to loads.
Programming the Load Group Relays (easier performed on test bench rather than in vehicle)
Note: A short programming jumper wire is provided to aid in programming the PDS-100.
Before programming ensure 12 volt power is properly applied to unit. Connect (+) power to (+) INPUT stud and the (-)
power return to the (-) ground bus stud. The PDS-100 will not power up unless input power is above 10 volts.
Programming
Once the battery is first connected to the PDS-100, the microcontroller operates at the factory default settings. To change
any of the settings, the PDS-100 will first need to be set to programming mode. To do this:
1) Jumper the IGN-In terminal to the (+) INPUT bus using the programming jumper wire provided, then press and hold the
SET button until the red status LED begins flashing.
2) Release the button and LED will stay illuminated.
The PDS is now in programming mode.
Note: if programming mode has been entered unintentionally or if you don’t
want to save any changes, press the RESET switch at this point to abort programming mode. Pressing reset will
momentarily interrupt output voltage of all Load Groups.
Load Group Activation Selection
Each of the three Load Group relays can be programmed, independent of each other, to one of four activation modes
using dip-switch positions 5 & 6 (refer to the Switch Guide).
