The Cartek Retro Power Distribution Panel is a fully integrated, fully electronic solution to power distribution in race and rally cars. Designed to replace 16 fuses, relays and switches as well as a variety of control systems, these units therefore greatly simplify the wiring, reducing build time, saving weight and maximising reliability.

The Power Distribution Panel takes +12V power directly from the battery then distributes this to all the electrical systems around the car. The 16 power outputs from the Power Distribution Panel are controlled from the front panel push buttons or from external switches and inputs. All 16 power outputs are fully protected with 6 selectable current settings thereby completely removing the need for fuses or circuit breakers. The function of each channel is also selectable from a choice of 8 different options.

There are 16 user configurable channels, with selectable current settings of 5, 10 or 15 Amps. Combine two channels together for 20, 25 or 30 Amps.

• Momentary action (starter motor, washer pump etc.)
• Latching (with memory) – latching (without memory)
• Latching with time delay (heated screen)
• Flashing (indicators etc.)
• Toggling (headlights high beam/low beam)
• 0v Momentary action (use as ordinary switch for ECU map etc.)
• Over current and short circuit protection – no fuses or relays needed
• 2 Battery Isolator XR inputs – allowing the Battery Isolator XR to shut down the Power Distribution Panel
• Dedicated wiper module included as standard
• 16 Momentary switch inputs – allowing any channel to be operated by an additional switch or the Cartek Wireless Control System
• 16 ECU inputs – allows the ECU to run on channels such as fuel pumps
• 4 Dedicated function inputs – flash input for lights, wash input for wipers, wiper park position etc

Unlike most PDM’s on the market the Cartek Retro Power Distribution Panel does not need a laptop to program the configuration. Pre-set options for functionality and current settings can be chosen by going through a simple process via the switch panel. This saves the user time and any potential labour costs in setting it up. A choice of pre-crimped or loose crimped connector kits are available separately to make the installation of the Power Distribution Panel easier.

The Distribution Panel measures W140mm x H195mm and weighs 625g
