The safety section in this manual lists basic safety precautions. Read the basic safety precautions before installing the PRCM or operating the PRCM.Description of the PRCM
The Programmable Relay Control Module (PRCM) provides the control of seven relays, six alarms, and two LED displays. In addition, the PRCM can be programmed to control up to two Relay Driver Modules (RDM). Each RDM provides an additional nine relay outputs for a total of twenty-five relays. The PRCM receives information via the CAT data link from the Engine Control Module (ECM). The PRCM utilizes information from eight switched inputs on the PRCM to control the outputs. Control of each relay is programmable through the keypad and displayed on the PRCM.
