This is the output socket for the Packard 5- pin output connector port. Display data exits here and passes through the Univer-sal Bridge Harness to the instruments.

It is very easy to damage the terminals if testing is done on the front side of the connector. Damaging the terminal in this fash-ion will cause intermittent or failure of the MDC or instruments.

Using “T” pins in the back of the connector will help prevent any damage to the connector or terminals.

The Multi-Marine Data Concentrator TheMMDCgetsall its inputs fromtheenginesen-sors,paddlewheel,ignitionswitchandbattery.Alltheseinputs go into the 24 pin (INPUT) connector from theengine harness.Always make sure the MMDC has agoodgroundand12voltsbeforetroubleshooting.

Itisveryimportantthatnothingelseisattachedtothe7voltsorthegroundfromtheMMDC.

7-Volt RegulatorProvides 3 amps of regulated volt-age to drive up to 30 gauges.

A to D ConverterThe resistance from the senders is converted into a 0 to 7 volt (ex-ample fuel empty = 0 volts and full = 7 volts)

The A to D takes that in-formation and converts it to a digital signal that the processor uses to drive the instruments.

Conclusion: M2 and M3 components should not be mixed! A M3 MINI MMDC should never be installed in a system of M2 gauges!!!
