10 feet–TC/10

25 feet–TC/25

50 feet–TC/50

100 feet–TC/100

Pre-Installation

Before installing the TM500A, read all instructions and cautionary markings located in this manual. The unit should be mounted in a clean, dry, protected environment.

Determine the wire route to the batteries (and inverter, if the remote INVERTER ON/OFF function is desired).

NOTE: Check for existing electrical, plumbing or other potential areas of accidental damage prior to making cuts in structural surfaces.

Mounting

The unit can be surface mounted (using the adaptor supplied) or flush mounted into a rectangular opening. Provide at least one inch clearance behind the meter circuit board for the cabling when flush mounting.

The TM500A ships in three sections:

•TM500A

•Adaptor for surface mounting

•Mounting Bracket

Trace Meter
