Software Loading and Selection

Ensure that the system is powered up and that the PDU is correctly connected to the base station. Check and if necessary load the DB7 software CD Revision 002. (see the installation guide)

Switch ‘on’ the PDU which will run through two front screens and then load the following initial PDU software.

• Operating System
• Main Menu
• Selector
• Digital Multimeter
• Interactive Training

Software for 95 and 97 Model Year Vehicles

Software for both the 95 and 97 model year vehicles is provided.

The PDU system requires a Vehicle Interface Adaptor (VIA) to communicate with the control units of 95 model year vehicles.

Communication with 97 model year control units is principally via an Aston Martin multi-protocol adaptor to 2 inbuilt diagnostic sockets in the vehicle. Only the air conditioning unit requires the VIA on 97 model year vehicles.

If the multimeter function is used, the Vehicle Battery Adaptor (VBA) will be required to provide the basic supply and ground levels for the multimeter.
