Mixmate Wiring

Mixmate Wiring

Power

  • You must run a group 31 battery with a minimum of 960 CCA and either a battery maintainer with a minimum of 2 amps or connect to a vehicle charging system.

  • 8 gauge wire at a maximum of 60 inches of length

  • Proper grounding

    • Always ground Mixmate system back to battery ground

    • Each power wire should have a parallel ground wire back to the source whether it is a pump or charging source

  • What should voltage be?

    • Check voltage with charger disconnected. Test at the Mixmate and at the battery

    • A Fully Charged battery is 12.7 volts. A Dead Battery is 11.7 volts and below.

  1. How do I charge a battery?
    1. Maintenance voltage of a standard battery is 12.7 to 13.8 volts. This voltage range doesn't add to the capacity of the battery, it just maintains the current capacity.
    2. The charging voltage is 13.8-14.5 volts. WARNING: overcharging can damage batteries just like letting them go dead!
    3. If you depend on your truck to charge your battery, make sure that the voltage is ABOVE 13.8 volts when the truck is running, otherwise you will end up with dead batteries.


CAN Bus Terminators

Each Mixmate system must have two (2) CAN bus terminators for the system to operate properly. These terminators are included in your system when purchased. The placement of these terminators is equally important; each one should be placed at ‘opposite’ ends of the CANbus line. For example, if the system is laid out in a line (right to left), Carrier (with terminator at/around valve) -> Mixmate system/inductor (w/ terminator on opposite side of carrier wiring) OR if there is a stack stand, flow single, etc. beyond the inductor, terminator should go there.
