MAXIMUS 7 OPERATOR’S MANUAL

2.2 Installation with cable extensions

In case the distance between the main parts of the Maximus system is larger then the length of the standard
cables the cables can be extended using coupler boxes and spare cables. The total length of an extended
cable can not be longer than 150 feet. If longer distances required use the wireless configuration.

The System Power Supply can be connected to a battery with the standard cable that has bare wires on the
battery end and the users must install their own battery connector. Maximus also has cables with Anderson
connectors installed. There is also an AC Power Supply with cable that can be used if a battery is not
available. The AC power supply runs on 100 ~ 260 VAC.
