1 .The Distribution Box cable is 3m (10’) long and pre-wired onto
the Distribution Box PCB. Position and mount the Distribution
Box in a dry location so that it can easily reach the SPU unit.
2. Route any cables into the Distribution Box through the pre-cut
openings in the cover. If necessary, file or cut out the pre-
formed ports in the cover for any extra cabling. (To ensure a
neat appearance, the cover has only had the minimum number
of openings prepared in advance).
