When running cables, if they pass through panels or wall, ensure the
cables are protected from damage by sharp edges. In such cases, it is
recommended to use cable glands.
Recommendation is to install the PM200 as close to the service battery as
possible to minimize voltage drop and ensure accurate charging.
