PRO-MIST DURA® ULV
Connecting the Pro-Mist Dura to Your
Vehicle's Electrical System
For continuous operation, we recommend that the
Pro-Mist Dura be connected directly to the vehicle's
battery/charging system. An electrical Installation kit
is available from Clarke for this configuration. This kit
contains vehicle circuit breaker, terminals, and screw lug.
If you intend to supply your own cabling and circuit
protection components, we recommend a minimum
of 6 awg multi-stranded copper power cable with a 60
amp inline fuse located near the sprayers onboard
battery as well as a 50 amp circuit breaker located near
the vehicles power source. This is extremely important to
protect against electrical short and fire. It is critical that
both ends of the power cable are protected.
The sprayer requires a rate of charge of 30 amps
at 13 vdc (measured at the sprayer’s battery) in order
to keep that battery well charged during continuous
spraying. A high output automotive alternator
(60 amps or more) usually provides enough current
to allow continuous operation of the sprayer without
additional charging of the battery after spraying has
been completed.
Regardless of how you power your Pro-Mist Dura,
the SMII Console can be mounted in any convenient
location within easy reach of the operator. Take care not
to obstruct the driver’s view forward or view of vehicles
instruments. The control cable plugs into the back of
the SMII Console at one end and into the Pump box
at the other end. Now you may turn on the
Vehicle Breaker.

(XL) or comparable
• Deep Cycle Marine 12 Volt Battery
Tools Required to Complete Vehicle Installation
• Screw Driver
• Wrench Set up to 5/8”
• Crimping Tool for Insulated Ring Lugs wire size
AWG6.
• Electric Hand Drill and power source.
• A 3/16 inch Drill Bit (for mounting breaker bracket).

Where to Install The Power Cable on
the Vehicle
You may choose to run the power Cable out through
a hole in the front panel of the truck bed, in thru the
rear panel of the cab, under the seat, out thru the fire
wall into the engine compartment, and over to the
vehicle battery.
Or you may choose to run the Power Cable out through
a hole in the front panel of the truck bed, down under
the cab, up into the engine compartment, and then over
to the vehicle battery. With the first choice you could
also bring the Pro-Mist Operator Control Unit cable
into the cab thru the same holes as the power cable
provided the hole is large enough to accept both cables,
which would be a 2-inch hole.
