Installation Location
The eGauge is usually installed near the power-distribution panel of a building,
where there is easy access to the power circuits to be measured.
The eGauge is permanently connected equipment. A 15A circuit-breaker shall be
included (one per phase) in close proximity of the device and within easy reach
of the operator. The breakers shall be marked as the disconnecting device for
eGauge. The breakers shall be wired to the device in compliance with the NFPA 8
National Electrical Code using a conductor size of at least AWG12 and tightened
to 10 ft

The eGauge is a listed device and must be installed inside a suitable enclosure.
The enclosure eGauge is installed in must be rated according to the environment
it is used in. For example, outdoor installations require an outdoor-rated enclosure
(e.g., IPX4/NEMA4).
Select an installation location that is not exposed to direct sunlight or the elements.
Otherwise, the warranty may be voided.
Do not install the device in a way that would make it difficult to operate the dis-
connecting device (circuit breakers).
