m unit blue and m lock wiring
« on: July 11, 2020, 05:32:40 PM »
Hi, plan on using M unit blue and m lock together.  I have looked over the wiring diagram for the m lock and trying to see how these two will work together. Does anyone have a diagram?

This should be sufficient

Thanks for the response, so I do not need to use the included relay ? or do I?

Seems the wiring diagram that comes from Motogadget is for when you're integrating it into a factory system. I am using a ricks reg/rec, m unit blue, and revival cycles distribution block.

The fuse is advised, the relay is superfluous.

Cal, the Fuse you are talking about is it the 1amp fuse or the 40amp main fuse ? I have mine getting power after the 40amp main fuse at the m-unit. just want to clarify thanks.

The new units are slightly different than the one in the diagram. There is a second Aux, and a few other variations. And for some reason they changed the name.

But for the purpose of the OP it's the same.

Revival Cycles has a decent video that may help with wiring design.
