Does this mount inside a Breaker box or some other box. What about exposed wires?

You could, it works by running the main power lines through 2 holes in the unit. I used it to track the usage on my air conditioner. It also has a light that will flash each watt used

i cut an opening in the box - the main wires are just taped into w/ the meter - easy install

It should be mounted inside some type of enclosure because there are some exposed metal pieces and you will have 220V there. If you are not up to homebrewing something, here is another vendor of the same type of meter that sells a couple enclosure options - their version of this meter sells for about $100 on ebay.http://www.ekmmetering.com/ekm-metering-products/enclosures-and-mounts.html

Where ever you would like / can run the wires. It comes with 3 mounting options. I mounted mine with the angle pieces to the part of my door panel that covers the inside of where the side mirrors are.

The mounting stud needs a hole that is about 7/16 inch. The wires come through the inside of this mounting stud, and out to the power source. They weigh so little that that is not a factor.

The module is relatively small (4 1/2 X 6in) and should be easily mounted on the side of the box if it has sufficient depth. Just mount it near two breakers of opposite phase that you will use to connect the 2 hot wires to and near the neutral and ground buss bars where you will connect those wires. If none of this makes sense to you, please be safe and hire an electrician to do the job. Installation can be dangerous if you don't know what youre doing. Good Luck.

This device is not design to be installed on the inside of wall or regular electrical box. However electrician would most likely be able to install larger electrical box to accommodate for this switch.

You can mount it anywhere. If you don't need access to turn on and off inside the car, then I would go closer to the battery. Not sure I would "mount to the battery" as you suggest. Find a safe space close to the battery to mount it running a short proper gauge wire from the battery to the switch. If it is inside the vehicle then you must run the positive cable from the battery to the back of this switch. I would suggest considering an appropriately sized circuit breaker inline as close to the battery as possible (to protect in case your cable gets compromised).

No it doesn't. What I did was to mount it with Velcro tape right on the wall switch plate. I've done with 3 rooms without a problem.

The mounting bracket has a notch where the cables can be exposed or if you drill a hole using the template then the cables will be covered by the mounting bracket

It is completely hollow inside, if you mount it over a 4x4 post there is still enough room to run the wire inside, as the post is smaller than the inside opening

Sidney, I wonder if you tried it? If so, how did it work for you? I am considering the same setup. I cannot run a wire from the inside wall to the outside wall so I was thinking simply mounting the units on opposite faces of the door, hiding the wire inside the door itself. (sorry if this comment is entered in the wrong place)

There is a slim "add-on" box about 4"x2"x1" which sits inside the ceiling mount. This box has 5 wires, 3 of which are connected to the fan wires and 2 to the power in the ceiling. If you have a shallow ceiling junction box (mine was only about 3/4" deep) it can be tricky to get all of the wires "stowed" before putting on the cover. It took a little patience! If your ceiling box is the deeper kind then there should be no difficulty. I have installed 2 fans (both with shallow box) and am extremely pleased with them.

There is no place in the bracket to hide the wire. The working part of the bracket screws to the wall, preferably over a stud, wood or metal. A decorative plate then slides over top of the bracket. There are other products to conceal the wire in the wall, but if it's an outside wall, the insulation will interfere with pulling the wire through the wall if it doesn't diminish the quality of the insulation while pulling the wire. Interior walls are no problem.

Probably,It is installed from the outside,extending through the wall,and the wiring from your fuse/breaker box attaches to the rear.Generally the installation is in"waste space" beneath/inside an existing cabinet or storage area out of sight.The Marinco connector has 3 mounting screws for the outer flange and a large gland nut you can use in the inside end if needed.A very nice unit all in all.

I am not an electrician but will try to provide my perspective. Mine (one) is mounted in like an electrical outlet box-- I don't know what a 2-gang box is. By mounting depth I assume you mean how deep it goes into the wall and I would estimate 2" maybe 2 1/2". Hope that helps.

You will certainly have room if you an empty breaker slot. You might also have room if you make direct connections - i.e. not tap into a vacant slot - this is a questions an electrician could easily answer for you - and if you are asking these questions then you need an electrician. Also, you need WALL space to mount the unit on the wall near to your breaker box.

As stated already, if you have access to your breaker box, you just need to place the clamps around your main electrical lines. Very simple and straightforward. The unit comes with a self adhesive Velcro strip to secure it in place inside the breaker box. No tools needed to install it other than removal of the breaker cover. Can be removed without any trace.
