Trace TM500 [RE-wrenches]

[info at backwoodssolar.com]

Hello William,

As you probably know, the TM500, is Trace's version of Bogart Engineering's
Trimetric Meter. Per discussions with Ralph at Bogart and actual installs,
the following wire sizing works.

Up to 100', 22 awg 4 conductor
100' - 250', 18 awg 4 conductor
250' - 400', 22 awg 4 conductor for the (M+) (+) (G2) and (SIG) connections
                    14 awg single conductor for the (G1) connection
400' -700', 22 awg 4 conductor for the (M+) (+) (G2) and (SIG) connections
                    12 awg single conductor for the (G1) connection
