OVERVIEW

MoTeC’s multi-button backlit CAN Keypads provide a switching solution that can be customized and connected to any MoTeC PDM.

The buttons can be used as inputs to control the PDM and other devices in the vehicle. The three LED lights along the top of each button can be used to indicate the state of the devices.

Four separate Keypads, each with up to 15 keys, can be combined on a single CAN bus and controlled by the same PDM (factory configuration required).

WIRING

The Keypad has a male 4 pin Deutsch DT connector molded into the back of it. The corresponding female connector should be wired as follows.

Power Wiring

The Keypad will continuously send CAN messages to the PDM, which will prevent the PDM from entering standby mode. There are two methods for wiring the supply to the Keypad.

For vehicles with a battery isolation switch, configure the PDM to always power the Keypad. This will allow the Keypad buttons to be used for master start up functions, but the PDM will never enter standby mode. To minimize battery drain when the vehicle is not being used for extended periods, the battery isolation switch needs to be turned off.
Wire a master switch or ignition key into a PDM input and configure the PDM to turn off all the outputs (including the Keypad) when the switch or key are turned off. This will allow the PDM to enter standby mode, minimizing battery drain.

PDM MANAGER SETUP

PDM Global Setup

CAN open Node ID, Button CAN Address, LEDs CAN Address and Brightness CAN address options are set by MoTeC and should not be changed. These default settings are required for the Keypads to work correctly.The brightness of the backlight and status LEDs can be set as a percentage of maximum intensity. An additional brightness setting can be set, which is used when a selected channel becomes true.

Keypad Setup

Keypad buttons can be allocated to control an input channel in a similar fashion to controlling the input pins of the PDM. Each input can then be used for multiple functions as required. See the sample configurations built into PDM Manager.

The three LED lights along the top of each button can be configured to indicate the state of devices. One example is: LED 1 (green) may be turned ON when the button output channel is active; LED 2 (orange) could be used to show that the output has gone into fault; LED 3 (red) could turn on if the output channel has faulted and stopped retrying.
