    SECTION 2 | Installation 2.0 INSTALLATION GUIDELINES EVO-RC-PLUS is provided with 10M/33ft, RJ-45 data cable (straight wired). Check the proposed routing distance of the wire and use longer wire, if necessary. • Flush mounting of the Remote requires appropriate cut-out in the wall/panel - See Fig 2.1.
  • Page 7 3. Route one end of the cable through wall opening to the EVO™ Inverter/Charger, and then plug it into the RJ-45 Remote Control Jack port on the EVO™ Inverter/Charger 4. Take the other end of the remote cable and plug it into the RJ-45 / RJ-12 Jack at the back of the EVO-RC-PLUS (Fig. 2.3).
