INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Parts Included:

1-MSD Power Module

1-Main Wiring Harness

1-Mounting Kit

OPERATION

The MSD Power Module is a programmable four stage solid state switch that can handle up to 20

amps of current each.

The outputs can be controlled independently or simultaneously, giving great exibility. Channels can

use Time, RPM or temperature sensor to control fans, fuel pump, or a NOS system.

A High Speed Data Logger can be used to record all functions when paired with the MSD PN7730

Power Grid.

PN 7764/77643

WARNING: During installation, disconnect the battery cables. When disconnecting the battery always

remove the Negative cable rst and install it last.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 3 Figure 2 Power Module Harness MOUNTING The Power Module must be mounted in a sturdy, dry location and away from extreme heat. The Power Module should be mounted using the included rubber mounts to limit excessive vibration. The unit is fully potted, but should not be immersed or subjected to direct spray from a power washer.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS SAVES AND TRANSFERS Changes made to the Power Grid Controller via MSDView are in real time. You can create and save numerous different files to your PC and load them back into the unit for different applications. The following will go through a general description of the software for the Power Grid Power Module PN 7764 Controller. OPERATION The 7764 Power Grid Power Module is a fully programmable 4-channel solid state relay.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 5 SETTINGS Features, such as the frequency, current limit and activation source, can be configured under this tab. Frequency: This is the frequency of the output when operating in PWM mode. The possible frequency values are: 10, 30, 100, 1K, 5K and 10K Hertz. Current Limit: When the output current exceeds the set value, the output will turn OFF until the next cycle. Note: Continuous current over 20 Amps may overheat the driver that consequently will turn OFF to protect itself.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS DUTY CYCLE Under this tab the user can find a plot that controls the output duty cycle as a function of “Time From Activation”. This plot is only functional when the “Time Setting” is set to “Graph”. Figure 3 Output Duty Cycle vs Time From Activation. TIMING This tab contains a plot that controls the amount of timing retard applied to the engine as a function of “Time From Activation”.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 7 DATA ACQUISITION The data acquisition system works in conjunction with the Power Grid (PN7730) data recorder. It allows the user to watch input activations as well as the state of any of the outputs and temperature sensor while going down the track. When connected to the Power Grid, the Power Module sends the enabled channels over the CAN bus to be recorded by the Power Grid. The channels will be recorded at a rate of 5 samples per second.
