For Orion TR Smart 12 12 - 30, witch cable cross section in mm² do I need for 7m long?

In the victron energy book it says, in the English and German text (p. 10) that I need for 5m: 16mm² minimum. In the French version: 16mm² maximum? In the pages 17 an other description. What is right?

If not 16mm² maximum needed, I would like to take 25mm², because I need a 7m long cable (this to avoid voltage pert).

If someone can help me I will be very pleased. Thank you.

Looking at the data sheets for the Orion TR Smart (isolated, non-isolated), the maximum cable cross-section that the device can handle is 16mm2.

If you need a larger size cable, you would need to terminate that large cable on a stud and then use a 16mm2 tail between the stud and Orion TR Smart.
