TTL PDI WIRING

The device is connected to the RED wire; a 47K Ω resistor is
necessary to supply the ground level to the device.

12 V PDI CONNECTION

See P/N 1050 Manual.

SETTING PDI DISTANCE

STEP 1 : Set the measurement units, (feet,miles or KM), you wish
to use for your PDI distance. Even though the default "1"
appears, you must re-enter the required PDI Distance number and
press MARK/ENTR.
STEP 2 : Next, press the following keys: 8PDI key, 2UNIT key
(DISTANCE), MARK/ENTR key.

SETTING PDI DURATION
STEP 1 : Press the following keys: 8PDI key, 3PD key (number
of milliseconds), MARK/ENTR key. 1000 mill-secs = 1 sec.
STEP 2 : Remember, depending on your PDI distance, if your pul
es are too long they can run together at high speeds. If you use
pulses of less than 10 milliseconds duration then this should not
happen at normal highway speeds. If you need longer pulses use
the following formula to find what your absolute maximum speed
will be.
SPEED = (PDI Length) * 1000/ (PDI Time in milliseconds)
This speed will be in Length/second units and use your standard
conversion factors to change to KPH or MPH
For feet/second -> MPH multiply by 0.6818
For kilometers/sec -> KPH multiply by 3600

SETTING PDI DURATION (DISTANCE)

STEP 1 : Press the following keys:
8PDI key, 3PD key, DISP/HOLD key, (DISTANCE) MARK/ENTR key.
(TIME = milliseconds the pulse is ON)
(i.e. feet/miles/kilos pulse is ON)
