Does this item require a dedicated circuit?

That would be the best thing to do. Mine is on a dedicated 20A circuit. If you have a 20A circuit instead of a 15A and depending what else is on the circuit you'd probably be good.

It recommended that it be a 20 amp. As to whether that has to be dedicated or not, I don't know, but I know that on my breaker, it is on its own circuit. I think the heater takes a fair amount of energy so it should be on its own.

It does not have individual circuits. It is used solely as a manual transfer switch whereas utility power and generator power come in to the box, and then EITHER feeds another main box with individual circuits, but will not allow utility nor generator to be on at the same time.

Sort of. You need to open it up, add a jumper and move a jumper on the power board. Requires soldering and about an hour of time

Yes I run it on a regular home outlet. Nothing special is required but it does use a good amount of power so if you have a lot of other electronics on the same circuit you may trip the power.

It does not need additional supply, however, I would buy cheap UPS (from Costco) so that it can stay up for for few minutes. I would check the Amp requirement on your circuit as they do consume a bit more power. I am running 4 of them at my shop. Thanks

No. And yes if you know what you're doing. Technically no for most part. It requires some connections and other components.

Yes, it requires 12 DC to operate. I have it connected to the 12 volt source through one of my console switches.

Yes it is. The booklet tells you how to build the circuit, but not the code. The included cd does that. Hope this helps.

This is what "I" would consider a NO circuit. This will not conduct electricity unless the magnet is engaging the switch.. BE CAREFULL!!! Unfortunately they seller will not correct this issue for me

No it does not, you need the USB module or the more expensive houselinc system. This is not a remote controllable type outlet.

Nope, I just wished it worked. Some similar units do have one. Look further.

This truly need a designated circuit. If not you can't use any other devices on that circuit. It will trip breaker. I had one installed upstairs and downstairs a few yrs ago for ac and heat. I plugged it into a outlet with just my computer and cell phone charger on it and it tripped. It maxes out 15 amp circuit. But it work very well keeps 900 sq ft room nice and comfy.

This is not a stand alone switch. It must be wired into the circuit containing the fixture to be controlled (i.e. traveler, neutral and ground).

Yes, it works on different circuits, but please be aware, and this may of been an isolated issue with my units, but they fried everything I connected them to (a desktop PC, a network switch and a security camera DVR). I had my power checked and all is well with my power in my house.

no, you need a hvl switch which has 3 toggle switch. use a 12/4 tray cable to wire the unit.

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

I have mine connected to a circuit strip. So no. No problems so far, works great. Happy with my New LifeSmart LS.
