Users can extend it to their desired length, depending on installation conditions such as electrical noise and resistance. However, we recommend not using an extension longer than 100 meters.

Once the chargers are properly connected to the electrical grid and interconnected to each other, the next step is to configure the settings for each charger using the Teltonika Energy app. Below, you will find a comprehensive list of the settings that should be adjusted to achieve DLM functionality.

It is very important to set this parameter correctly in the master charger if you want to use DLM. This parameter shows how much of current you have in the circuit you want to balance. That means you have to set as much as this current can have amperes. Usually it should be the same current as the breaker tripping current. If for example in the master charger you will set lower current, DLM might not work and charger might not even start charging process.

These settings must be configured for all chargers in the circuit, regardless of whether they are slaves and have direct communication with the meter. These settings establish the communication protocol between the master-slave and master-meter.

#*Distribution by priority: Energy will be distributed based on priority. Chargers will be prioritized according to their charging state, and those with higher priority will receive maximum charging power.[[File:Dlm.png|right|frameless|276x276px]]''For example, if we have a 100 A grid and five connected chargers, each capable of accepting 30 A, the first three chargers will receive 30 A each. The fourth charger will receive only 10 A, and the fifth charger will not initiate the charging process at all. This setting is exclusive to the master charger.''

#'''Slave Modbus address start''' - This setting is exclusive to the master charger. The user needs to specify the starting address for the slave chargers. For instance, if the start address is set to 1, the first slave charger should have address 1, the second should have address 2, the third should have address 3, and so on.
