When it comes to wiring up the new panel, always use the incldued 7V power supply, plugged into a non-switched outlet.
If not using the included cable and using an existing cable run instead, ensure that it meets the guidelines on page 12 of the manual:
7vDC Transformer: Use 18AWG wire no longer than 98.5ft to ensure sufficient
power is received at the panel.
The minimum permissible wire size shall not be smaller than 22 AWG
Failure to follow these requirements can result in power failure and/or damage to the panel
