kbolin10 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 How do I get power to the pixie 4 controller with the 2 prong setup? Is there an adapter? I have a 350w power supply but no purchase gave me what I need. I have been looking for a week and can’t find any information on this. Maybe it’s common knowledge to seasoned vets but not this newbie. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use 14awg stranded wire. You can pretty much get it anywhere, Lowes, Home Depot, local Hardware, Amazon. https://smile.amazon.com/BNTECHGO-Silicone-Flexible-Strands-Stranded/dp/B01CL0JPVG/ref=sr_1_20?ie=UTF8&qid=1538861466&sr=8-20&keywords=14awg+stranded+wire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find another clerk (the wire is on small spools and the Lugs are on the wall) OR better yet, go to any store with an Auto parts section. This is LOW VOLTAGE, like automotive Crimp Lugs are color codes by wire GRIP RANGE Red 18-22, Blue 14-16, Yellow 10-12 Get a good crimp tool FOR INSULATED LUGS Ring and spade lugs have an additional size value. intended screw size (PSU usually have #6 or #8 ) Typ power cords use Blues, Same for a Pixie 4 12V (<10A), 16Ga. For a single CMB 24 bank (and Pixie ? 14Ga and 10 or 12 Ga for a Pixie16. If you run 2 wires (either + or common) make sure their lengths are identical (current may nor balance if there is very much length difference) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
