The Talon is a solid-state digital switch matrix. Manufactured by Summit Technologies, using their proven “Raptor” technology, the completely digital switch matrix features 15 individually programmable buttons, designed to control ANY 12 volt vehicle electronics system.

The Cartek Retro Power Distribution Panel is a fully integrated, fully electronic solution to power distribution in race and rally cars. Designed to replace 8 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 8 power outputs from the Power Distribution Panel are controlled from the front panel push buttons or from external switches and inputs. All 8 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.

• 8 User configurable channels, selectable current settings of 5, 10 or 15 Amps. Combine two channels together for 20, 25 or 30 Amps. No laptop required
• Selectable functions such as 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)
• Over current and short circuit protection – no fuses or relays needed
• 1 Battery Isolator XR inputs – allowing the battery Isolator XR to shut down the Power Distribution Panel
• 8 Momentary switch Inputs – allowing any channel to be operated by an additional switch or the Cartek wireless control system
• 8 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 Retro Distribution Panel measures W140mm x H145mm and weighs 450g
