The two Powercells (top and left) handle all the power distribution functions and completely take away any high-amp loads from the car's switches. They basically take battery power and distribute it directly to whatever loads (lights, horn, turn signals, radio, ignition, and so on) are connected to their plug-in output harnesses. Instructions on how, where, and when that power is to be distributed comes to each Powercell through a single datalink cable connected to the Mastercell. The Mastercell (lower right) accepts up to 32 channels of individual switch inputs. Its onboard processor is pre-programmed for one of a number of responses to each input, i.e., it knows that, say, Channel 3 is the reverse-light input, so it's a simple On/Off function, whereas Channel 8 might be the left turn-signal input, so it must apply a flasher function. The Mastercell is also user-programmable. The processor and its software therefore eliminate any need for separate flasher modules in the car. On the Powercells, each channel is protected by its own fuse, therefore eliminating any need for a separate fuse box. View Related Article
