Where is the hardwire cover mentioned in the manual? I don't see any cover to remove and expose the hardwire point for direct wiring to a breaker box

Remove the entire front panel and you will see the wires and wire nuts for hard wire connection

hardwire is where you wire the gp3000 to a transfer switch to supply 120 power to all outlets in side

I would contact Intermatic directly to get that information -- then you don't have to purchase from them, but you can shop for the items. They have a pretty good website you can browse and there are telephone contact numbers as well. They're a very good company to deal with and are very forthcoming with any information you may need! Mine is installed next to my circuit breaker box in my basement, so it wasn't necessary to purchase other parts. Frankly, I wasn't aware these COULD be installed outdoors! It's typical to locate the protector close to the main power source the way I did!

The wall plate itself connects to a standard outlet box like any other wall plate (AC outlet, cable outlet, etc..). I found a handy one at ACE hardware that you can install from the front (outside) of the wall by just cutting the hole, inserting the box, and tighten down the "molly" like tabs. Run the wires inside the wall and into the box before inserting the outlet box into the wall. I hope that helps.Take a look at "Thomas & Betts #b120r Sg Old Work Box" on Amazon for an example of the outlet box.

The exact model is on a sticker well inside the unit and believe it or not the number is not listed in the Owners manual. I didn't have time to open it up before leaving for work this morning but I'll look tonight and if someone else hasn't already given you the answer, I'll answer it then. Well, I took the outside cover and the inside protection cover off and did not see either of the numbers that you gave. However, there is a rather large Disconnect Switch right there in front of the box on the right hand side. So the switch that came with mine definitely has the service disconnect installed in it. Let me know if you want me to email you a picture.

You probably need to pop the cover off and pull off the connector inside that has the wires going to it from the house. You either have to put in a new battery or disconnect it from your house power.

The existing wires come directly out of an encapsulated power supply in the box. What I did was open the box and attach the existing wires to an inserted Romax wire using wire nuts. There is plenty of room in the box for the wire nuts. I sealed the hole with a little calk.

I hard wired mine, it's an option illustrated in the installation guide - wire connections are easy to join together and function is unchanged. On warranty - sometimes wiring requires a licensed electrician to maintain warranty but, if you were returning the unit, who would know how it was originally installed anyway? Hope tht helps

I installed mine hard wired to the ceiling. There is a length of metal piping to conceal the wires. It was a bit too low for my hallway so I had to cut a few inches off with a pipe cutter. Good luck :)

This is wired directly to your switch, so it is basically hardwired. You take your incoming wires to the outlet/switch run them to this unit and than out of that to your switch/outlet, tuck it all back in the box which can get tight depending on how many wires are coming into the box.

hardwire through knock-out hole, jumper cables available but sold separately

Well, yeah, anything's possible, the decorative base is large enough to cover a service box, but IIRC you'd have to drill the wall attaching plate for wire passage... Seems I remember that Jerdon makes a hardwire model?

Yes, the back cover is perforated so you can remove a portion for the wiring.

The cords are to be hard wired. They are quite simple to tie into an existing connection box. Directions are readily available on the net. Be sure to turn off power to the circuit at the breaker box before doing anything.

Thanks for answer - and for person who asked question.We wondered what that wire was for also. It's not listed anywhere in the instruction manual.

I had no idea you were supposed to move the coverplate until I saw these answers! I just plugged it in over the outlets and put the screw aside bc I didn't know what it was for... (heh) It works perfectly fine but I'll fix mine now. Thanks for asking this question & thank you everyone for your answers!

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.

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.
