  • Switch Versatility
    The PG8 is a great way to extend the versatility and flexibility of selection in switch types, sensors and dash layouts, yet continue to enjoy all the benefits of digital power distribution. This includes dual control stations, remote trip re-setting and reduced cabling. All of this is available with one low-cost interface gateway. Every range or model that requires a dash layout change becomes a simple process utilizing the same hardware, leaving all the feature enhancements and interconnectivity to new devices networked.

  • Digital/Analogue inputs
    The PG8 allows inclusion of up to 8 digital inputs and up to 4 analogue inputs to any given onboard CANbus system. This simplifies management of additional input signals from things such as sensors in a boat or motorhome application

  • Low power outputs
    Thanks to PG8 it is now also possible to manage up to 8 low current outputs (max 150mA), primarily attributed to switch indicator LEDs
