AEM AEM EV PDU-8 is an eight-channel power distribution unit that allows for programming and control of various devices using compatible Engine Control Units (ECUs) and Vehicle Control Units (VCUs). These devices can include high-voltage contactors, cooling fans, lights, turn signals, windshield wipers, and fuel pumps. Up to eight PDU-8 units can be connected on a single CAN bus network, enabling installers to position the units near the subsystems they control. This design simplifies wiring, reduces overall weight, and improves reliability.
The PDU-8 is a solid-state control module that eliminates the need for traditional fuses and relays for the switched functions it manages. It can also be controlled by other CAN-based controllers that support custom CAN settings, including Motec, Link, FuelTech, and Haltech. Additionally, compatibility with Holley EFI is possible when using the AEM dash display for logic-based control. The PDU-8 utilizes CAN bus 2.0 with a bit rate of 500kbps and supports up to eight units per bus. It offers an output duty cycle of 100Hz with a range of 0-100%
