Progressive EMS install question

[Berdan]

[QUOTE=LHaven;484772]It looks like Berdan installed the EMS inside his mousehole, not in back of his fusebox. I was considering the same but decided against it because I didn't like any of the places I would have had to mount the monitor panel in the bathroom.

After trying different ideas I ended up routing my display cable through the wall that the EMS was mounted to and pulling it out the outlet opening on the opposite side. The display is readable from across the room. Not entirely sure why the attached picture goes horizontal.

I installed the EMS behind the breaker/fuse panel, as mentioned above. I then routed the display cable to the area just inside the main entry door so the display could be mounted in the same location as the other controllers, like the iN-Command and tank warmer switches (and my battery monitor).


I had a friend create a mounting bezel using a 3D printer which allowed me to mount the display flush with the surface of the wall:

Great job!

Well, I began the bench work today to hook in a 3 foot piece of #6 as several posters mentioned. Tough wire to work with is an understatement. Found myself at the line in their instructions "The arrow side of the sensor needs to face.......". Spent an hour trying to find the arrows. Called their tech support line - "there are no more arrows, the sensors work as long as the wire passes through the sensor". Suggested rather strongly that the instructions should be revised.


Next week, into the coach!
