Programmable Power Distribution Module (PDM) Install - Gen 4

[tdragger]

Found a nice location for the PDM on my Gen 4 GTex.  There's a perfect spot under the pillion seat and under the phone holder.

I went with the Rowe Electronics AMPlink module as it was the most compact size and doesn't use traditional fuses.  The internal circuit breakers are programmable via a bluetooth connection to your phone.



It allows the wiring to pass under the support bar for easy connectivity.  I tapped into the rear power socket for the switched circuit.



Initial plans are to power my GPS and heated gear.  I'll add aux lighting when the CANbus controllers become available in the spring.

Nice install.

I've got the older style PDM. I'll have to see if it fits there as well.

I have the PDM 60 installed on mine.  It fits and works great.  I’m running the following off it…

Gerbing panel mount heat controller
Garmin LM595
Radar Detector

I plan to add Denali driving lights.

I verified that the PDM60 is the same size as the Amplink (same outer package). So it'll fit in the same space.

Now I just need to decide if my PDM60 is good enough, or if I want to spend the $$ for the added Bluetooth connection and iPhone app.

Or there's an IPDM with 9 outputs up to 13A each (100A max), 9 input triggers, and CAN bus on board. I wonder if it can be programmed to trigger off of standard Tiger CAN bus messages?

Hmm...

@tdragger and @jjscsix; have you guys found a good way to tap off the ignition signal? I see from the TT1200 PV01 wiring diagrams that the ignition signal should be available at the alarm connector under the pillion seat. I'm considering installation of a PDM like the Innovv Power Hub 3 or the Denali PowerHub2. The Amplink might be a good alternative as well. Planning for installation I'd like to go for the easiest and most non-intrusive way to get to the ignition signal.

I tapped into the aux power port back under the pillion seat.  Active only with key on.

   ^ I did the same. It is working great.

Thanks, guys! 
Haven't been riding since September due to frost and winter and spent no time in the garage either. I've never used the rear accessory outlet during the riding season, so I had totally forgotten about it. The wiring schematics doesn't discuss "Auxiliary...", but "Accessory socket". While the FSM names the same connector as "Auxiliary power socket". Silly me, not searching for "accessory...." in the schematics. And how very British of Triumph not to be consistent in the FSM and documentation.

The plan and route is given then. Fitting the PDM in the void space under the USB charger box is a great suggestion!

Björn, where did you find the Tiger schematics?

It's a paid subscription these days. No paper FSM's from Triumph for the newer chassis models I guess.
