The PRO-M Series condenses multiple wiring connections into just two, cutting down on corrosion risks and simplifying setup. Available now with multiplex pre-installed
Buyers Products has officially released its new SaltDogg® PRO-M Series with Multiplex controller, marking a major step forward in ease of installation and reliability for contractors and municipalities alike.
The PRO-M Series has been in development for four to five years, as Buyers took a careful and deliberate approach to engineering the new multiplex system. “We’re a conservative company—we like to move carefully into new areas,” Scott Mormon explained. “Often you create new problems by solving old ones, and we wanted to make sure we got this right.”
Why Multiplex Matters
While “multiplex” has become a buzzword in the industry, Buyers Products emphasizes that the real advantage is in simplified installation and reduced failure points.
In a traditional spreader setup, components such as the auger, spinner, vibrator, and lights each require separate wiring—often seven or eight wires in total. The new multiplex system condenses that into just two wires: a signal plus and a signal minus.
This design offers several key benefits:
- Simplified installation: Only a single small connector is needed to reach the truck cab.
- Reduced corrosion and contamination risk: Fewer connections mean fewer potential failure points.
Retrofit and Upfit Options Available
The new PRO-M Series spreaders are now shipping with the multiplex system pre-installed. But Buyers is also offering an upfit kit for contractors who already own a SaltDogg® PRO Series spreader.
For those with an older controller or worn harness, the retrofit provides a simple upgrade path. “It’s pretty easy to do—you’re really just changing the connectors on the motor. The multiplex consists of three main parts: the control head, the harness, and the power module,” Mormon stated.
This straightforward design means existing customers can easily take advantage of the new system without a complicated overhaul.
