will it find electrical wires in a wall

Only if there is significant current through the wires to cause a temperature differential from the surrounding area.

Look at pc board where wires attach written in tiny letters says where wires go.look carefully.

Mine doesn't because it was connected to a power source by wiring within a wall.

Yes it does. Make sure the timer you use in the wall is for 3-prong outlet (grounded)

It could, but you may need to get code approval for something not designed for that purpose--I think.The power wire comes out the wrong side, the front, and would have to be cut, passed into the wall.

You will need to supply your own 14 guage NM cable (aka Romex) for the electrical wiring in the wall. Everything else, including wire nuts, I believe, were included however.

It depends on how deep it is buried. These devices are normally used to pick out a single cable from a bundle of wires. You may be better off with a metal detector.

If by "plug" you mean an external electrical connection you should know that this unit is meant to be wired in line with wiring that is present within the wall.

No its meant to be hard wired, you will need to buy the proper fixture to plug into wall

You can see studs behind plasterboard, but not very well and there has to be some heat difference. IE if the outside wall has been heated by the sun. If you want to locate studs to fix into, a good quality ultrasonic stud detector will be easier to use and more accurate. My E4 does not show wiring or pipes or anything that is not in contact with the plasterboard.

No, it has no electrical wiring at all. You'll need a separate surge protector or power strip.

I really don't think so. I'm not sure that the sensor can read the signal through a wall along the path of the wire as it does at the breaker. Admittedly I've never tried to.

Yes, you can find studs behind plaster walls, and you can find electric wiring behind plaster walls.

you can get wire covers at lowes cheap they are made of plastic that you run the wires through and you can paint them to match the wall

No, it means that it is wired into the wall. We had an electrician hook it up

As long as there is power being fed to that outlet it should pick up the current. I have detected HOT wires through drywall.

It already comes with it's own "mount" that can be attached to your wall. I don't know what your electrical box looks like, probably not on that. But it can be hard wired, by cutting off the plug, then rewired it to your electrical wires. Remember, it works on 4 C batteries alone, by taking off the back panel to wall mount. The plug can detach from the wall mount.
