Hi guys,
can anyone give me the wire color used by MoTeC for the M800 Loom?
I need all the pin and color, if possible with the group.
I want to use all the time the same color and attribution, for make my job easier.
Thank for all reply.
Francois
PS: If possible, the same for old ADL.

Looms are typically custom made -- often by the MoTeC dealer or distributor in your country. Where are you located? On many of the harnesses I see (and have built in the US), you will find the following colors used:

Red - +12V power
Orange +5V
Purple +8V
Black or Brown 0V

Other than that, we typically see Green for CAN Lo, and Yellow for CAN Hi.

I usually create a spreadsheet for each harness and supply the customer with what colors were used. I know that MoTeC USA does the same thing with their standard harnesses.

I think the colours will change depending on the country you are in. We usually use black for all grounds and 0v and red for all power (5v, 8v and 12v). CAN Hi is white (but sometimes yellow) and CAN Lo is green.
