Its a battery operated unit. The hard wire ones shows wires coming off the unit or it says hard wire in the name

I don't see why you would have any problem hard wiring the unit. I don't know how the extension plug is wired in but you shoul be able to make the hard wire connection.

its been awhile since I installed it...I don't recall having to do any of that. Can you send me a pic of the wires or I will check mine later and reply

We haven't tried that. We have it installed and have been very pleased with it. It should be easy to disconnect the wires in the unit and take the unit, bring it back and hook it back up. That's what we plan to do if we move. We have had ours a long time.

It doesn't HAVE to be hardwired. You can make a cord with a plug on it and connect that to the unit. Just make sure the cord is secure coming out of the unit and possibly make sure the box is fully sealed depending on your local codes. In that case you'll be connecting it to the normal 110 connection. If I remember right there's also a power adapter option for this unit for you to connect to the low voltage area on the board.

Here is a link to a video description of how I have mine wired and set up. I figured I can take a few minutes out of my day to help you out with this. Hope it helps. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFQOC2s84Wk

Mine has a cord switch, and a transformer. If I remember the directions they wanted the transformer exposed to fresh air, probably for cooling. I do not think I would hard wire this unit.

What do you want to do with the unit? once I know your application then I can suggest a method to wire it so your intended application works.....

As has been said, on my unit the wiring diagram is on the back side of the controller box door. I was able to get an entire service manual in PDF format, it was a few years back and I no longer have the URL. You have to start on the Rudd-Rheem site learning to decode the product number for your unit, and what family it belongs to, then search on that "family of products" number for the service manual. There are several sites that will sell you the PDF of the service manual for about $10. I could not find any site offering it for free. Hope you find your wiring chart inside the door.

Yes it must be hardwired, but only two wires must be connected. If I did it anyone can. Good luck

No, that's one of fhe best features! I installed each of my units, and I will be adding additional units. None are hard wired, but they all work together.

I just used the wires supplied from the unit itself. Simple 3 wire connection. There are no additional connections or additional wire needed. Simple instructions will show you where to connect them. Should you have any issues, please let me know. You will be very happy with this unit. I am. Ron, Mesa, AZPS remember to shut off A/C unit breaker before attempting to install.

I ordered a plug in model. The decided to hard wire it. The descriptions will tell you if the model is a hardwire

Mine came with some paperwork, not really instructions, just how to hook it up. You probably could get them online. If not, send me your email and I will copy mine. I didn't do any kind of mode codes. Just hooked it up and it started working.
