Page 4: General Information, Theory Of Operation, And Equipment Description Pdm 3000 Introduction
DC loads that are sensitive to the quality of power. The PDM 3000 “boosts” the DC bus voltage (typically < 30.0 VDC), up to 36 VDC then “bucks” it down to a stable, regulated 28.0 VDC. Power sources (24 VDC nominal) may be connected to the Inter-Connect port or to the NATO port. -
Page 5: Important Product Safety Information And Instructions
While the PDM 3000 is designed for indoor/outdoor operation, the cutouts on the bottom must remain clean with access the environment for proper cooling. The PDM 3000 is not field serviceable. If repair is needed, contact Solar Stik Technical Support for assistance in diagnosis and identification of the proper repair and parts. -

Page 14: Operator Instructions Integrating The Pdm 3000 Into A System
Figure 9. PDM 3000 output breakers 2 Use an Inter-Connect cable to connect the PDM 3000 to a 24 VDC power source (e.g., Solar Stik HPS PRO-Verter or Power Hub DC bus). The choice of HPS Inter-Connect port will depend on the HPS configuration. -
Page 15: Figure 11. Connecting A Voltage-Sensitive 28.0 Vdc Load To The Pdm 3000
Do NOT connect a battery directly to the regulated 28 VDC output port. Connecting a battery directly to the regulated 28 VDC output port will damage the PDM 3000. 4 Use a NATO slave cable to connect load to 24 NATO port to a load (tower). -
