what is a direct circuit & do you have to have one installed?

Our home was built around 1988 and I can plug the heater into any outlet and run it for hours. It is in its second winter of use with no problems. It has never tripped the circuit breaker even though it draws as much current as a hair dryer. As with high current use devices like hair dryers and vacuum cleaners it is not wise to use extension cords due to electrical resistance causing excessive heating in the wiring.

Please clarify as I do not see this in the specifications. But I'll guess that "must be plugged in directly to wall outlet" no extension cord" Most home breakers are 15 amp and extension cords can cause problems if equipment/heaters are drawing close to this amperage.

No. It's a simple install that needs only a switch, and connection to 12V power and ground.

No u don't, everything u need comes with it, I have bought two and the work great, it all depends on knowing how to wire them correctly

no relay is required. My shop guys installed it with no problems direct to the power source

this model does not have any external wiring, this unit is to be wired directly as you would wire up exhaust fan or any other appliance

that would have to be answered by a qualified electrician , mine was hard wired direct to the panel box

No direct connection to power supply necessary or possible. Whether your existing power supply will be adequate is more a question of how many hard drives and other components are powered by it.

Yes it needs to be wired in or plugged in...but it works great when installed...

I don't know that it 'requires' one. I'm not using one on mine. So far no problems.

Nope, this is all ya need. I had an electrician mount it and put a new outlet, so I can plug directly to it

Nope. But my experience with it is, its a hit or miss if you use it. I just wire mine directly.

This unit is a direct wire unit and does not come with any electrical connection cord. You need to buy the cord for plug in or direct wire it to an existing electrical connection in your home.

It will run direct. Mine goes on and off but it is hooked up to bigger panel, a thermal switch I think?

No. It's powered by a small AC to DC adaptor. You do need to factor that into the installation.

While my contractor initially installed this unit, I did have to remove and re-install it in my kitchen island for a repair service (control circuit board.) It is a straight plug in so no problem, assuming the outlet is in place. The unit is a little heavy for one person to manage, but it can be handled by two or if you use some sort of hand truck.

No. I installed it directly a power source over a year ago and mine works perfect.

It's probably easiest to cut it and direct wire it, But yes you can direct wire it. Incidentally, it's an awesome disposal.
