How and where do you mount this power pack? Can it screw right into the siding?

Hello gin Yes you can put it on siding but the red lights on the unit shine toward the street I took a 2x6 board put it in the ground and put unit facing my house that way the neighbors dont see the unitm lights if you get shocked dont worry its only 12volts

Yes...as long as there is wood or solid material to hold the screws. You use a template to locate the screws and the unit slides over the screws.

Yes, it hangs on a screw on the siding. Mine is mounted on the north side of my house and works perfectly there.

Mount it near your outside outlet and yes, two screws into the siding will hold it.

Two screws in an area (wood preferably, but any sturdy material) close to an outdoor electrical source. We have it outside all year long.

Yes, mounting holes are in the back of the unit. If you are replacing an Intermatic (Malibu) transformer you will have to drill new holes for the screws since the span between the holes is different.

You can mount it however you want. I originally had it mounted to the underside of my solar panel but later moved it next to the wall by my battery. I just used double sided foam tape.

I added another side vent and a quality greenhouse fan in the side of the greenhouse. As the weather changes, a small heater will be installed too. The clear siding can be drilled and cut with a saber saw. It is tough stuff and a razor knife is difficult. I used a fine blade on the saber saw for the fan mount. I suppose you could put a heater anywhere in the unit and run the cord through a small opening.

need to have battery pack tied into electrical outlet; we had similar problem until we tied battery into electrical line.

Yes. As matter of fact, that's what I did. The connections on this power pack are screw-posts. The Bachmann wires don't connect directly, but not too difficult to adjust. I cut one end of the (Bachmann) wires, stripped off a little of the insulation and just wrapped the wires around the posts. If you want a little more professional look, you can solder spade connectors to the wires. I ultimately did that for the wiring for lights I used in the "DC connection" posts.I've been very satisfied with this power pack. Enjoy!

It comes with a long screw that replaces the one in your face plate on the outlet. Once tightened it is very secure.

The wall plate itself connects to a standard outlet box like any other wall plate (AC outlet, cable outlet, etc..). I found a handy one at ACE hardware that you can install from the front (outside) of the wall by just cutting the hole, inserting the box, and tighten down the "molly" like tabs. Run the wires inside the wall and into the box before inserting the outlet box into the wall. I hope that helps.Take a look at "Thomas & Betts #b120r Sg Old Work Box" on Amazon for an example of the outlet box.

I bought mine from my boat and I attached outdoor 12 V receptacles to each of my batteries and mounted my solar charger so that it was facing straight up and I keep it plugged into one of the batteries all the time to keep it charged.

There is a power cord that comes with it. You mount it directly to your battery using the eyelets at the end of the cord.

It mounts inside the case at one of the rear quarters. You should see screw holes there that line up with the power supply.

I do not recall the length of the screw, but you should never attach a fixture directly to siding, because the fixture will not sit flush and water can get in to the where the wires are. You should make a cut out in the siding, attach a mounting plate (wood block) and caulk around the edges. The screws provided were long enough for me to mount in this fashion.

I believe you can if you solder to the wires on the opposite end of the power plug. The problem I had was hanging them. Mine were inside of some sort of silicone sleeve. Nothing would stick to them including the 3m tape that was supposed to be used for mounting. I also tried 20lb heavy duty 3m outdoor tape and no luck. If I had realized this I would not have ordered them in the first place! They were not like strip in the picture on Amazon!

No good way to mount or install it. No mounting holes,no snap-on-track mount - I had to fabricate a hinged-lid plastic box for it, by adapting an outdoor wet location elctrical power outlet box and creating a custom cutout in the inner wall that the LPM-20 fits into. The hinged lid provides access to the button (that is indeed flush with the surface of the device and needs to be pressed in to toggle state).

Nothing. You should be able to hook that stuff up directly to the power outlets of the generator.

Actually, what you'll want to do is get a 3 gang low voltage bracket or box from your local hardware store. The bracket will hold onto the drywall and give you something solid for this wall plate to screw into.

i mounted mine to the bottom of my service panel. it shouldn't be placed too far away from it. i don't recall specific instructions.
