howdy all,

today i took out my prosine 3.0 and started installing a magnum 2812 like alot of you guys have.

a few questions for you

i bought the battery monitor kit and the advanced control panel.

the battery monitor requires the unit be within 5 feet of the batteries.  it has a 4 wire harness that goes to each side of the shunt and plus and minus on the batteries.  it also says it should not be installed in an enclosed area or in where the batteries are.  

i see no way of putting it anywhere else.  did you guys just put the shunt on top of the batteries?

the prosine had a mounting bracket that held it about an inch off the wall.  the magnum is mounted directly to the wall.  no standoffs.  did you make a bracket or some kind of standoff or just put it directly on the wall?

thanks

tom
