Where do you place the load in relation to this unit? Do the wires from the main box come in from above or up from below? Thanks.

I purchased this item but never have made use of it. Although I have never installed it, I don't think it makes a difference which direction you feed the wires through. If I recall, I believe there are a couple of set screws that will splice into each wire to make the contact. Hope this helps. Steve

You need an electrical box - part of the unit sticks out the back so the box is needed to accept.

The side that is grounded to the box is for your ground wires. The side that is insulated from the box is for the common wire. Load goes to the breaker.

I used a wood box from a hobby store. I just placed the base side up. I also put in an off/on toggle switch.

This is wired directly to your switch, so it is basically hardwired. You take your incoming wires to the outlet/switch run them to this unit and than out of that to your switch/outlet, tuck it all back in the box which can get tight depending on how many wires are coming into the box.

There isn't a place to hide wires coming down from ceiling. Only suggestion is to run wires in back of pipe and hold in place with zip ties. I mounted my cable box and gaming consoles on shelf below tv were wires are barely visible.

Ours is hanging on our kitchen wall. My husband set it up. I had a little trouble when i attempted it, but it took him less than 5 minutes. I think the trickiest part was getting the wires to behave. There was a tab in the front that has to be moved in order to get the receiver to keep from falling. It can be a little tempermental.

There is a little covered box on the side with wires inside. Just remove the cover and insert your wires, connect and recover. In my application I used armoured cable and a connectore for the hole. The unit I purchased was identical to the one it replaced.

I hard wired mine, it's an option illustrated in the installation guide - wire connections are easy to join together and function is unchanged. On warranty - sometimes wiring requires a licensed electrician to maintain warranty but, if you were returning the unit, who would know how it was originally installed anyway? Hope tht helps

I literally unplug the cord connected to the unit and place it beneath the unit. Would love if someone has a better answer!

I use my existing in wall wire setup. Wires provided are not graded for in wall use, FYI.

in the center column.......there are holes in the front that end up getting hidden by your components and other holes in the back to move them to where you want. I even have a six outlet circuit breaker hidden in the back

Hmm That does sound like a serious issue! I cannot say that I have had that problem yet and I have 8 units installed in my house. It sounds to me like the unit is placed on a circuit that is beyond the recommended load which can easily happen. In other words, this issue sounds like people are using the units on circuits that were already poorly wired. Just my thoughts.

Yes, Hide the main unit. Could install UPS to keep power to it. I'm pleased with my setup, especially for the cost.

I just received mine and there was no wiring. Only a pig-tail wire with connector to hook the wiring into it. I am looking into buying a wiring kit so that I can install it.

Mount it from a pole attached to the ceiling above rather than a pole mounted from the ground/base unit as seen in the picture. Just reverse the mounting from above...
