Can this be installed to be manually energized as well?

It works manually and automatically with a float switch! Its a great product and easy to install!

I believe so, yes. There are three leads going into mine. One being ground, the other being constant-run and the other being tied to the built-in float switch. I only have the float switch lead and ground wired up for my application.

I install this unit over 4 months ago and I have gone out more than a dozen times. It's still working perfectly. Highly recommend!

Yes, there are two positive wires. One goes directly to the fuse box for constant power (always energized when the float is raised) and the other can be hooked to a switch for manual operation. That is how I installed mine.

This unit has the ability to do both manual and automatic. I hope this answered your question.

Yes it can be wired up for manual or automatic or both if you have a 2 way switch on the dashboard.

I have not connected mine yet but I believe you may have to go in manually and do it. Sorry not much help.

YES, but you have to determine what type of installation you want, Re; automatic or manual. And for what size load you're going to be attaching to the generator.

Yes you can but it is not advised because if you turn it off by the lamp switch and have it on an automated schedule it won't work.

Sure. Once you have it set the way you like. You can shut it down from the control panel interface. Then just start it back up when you need it.

That would be a great idea. I never tried that but don't think it would work. the controls (mine has two) have to be set manually each time to the heat setting you want. They shut off after about 10 -12 hours. They will not come on automatically by adding power. 9

You can't unless you get the blessing from your local utility company. If you do,it would take a little more watts than the unit provides. Works when the sun shines only.

Yes, it can. I like Energine the best but it seems impossible to find anymore. This is a pretty good substitute.

No. You need to manually change and/or set with changes at months' end, time change or loss of power.

No, but there are wiring options listed in the instructions that will accomplish what you wish

Yes. There is an auto on when you walk into the garage and you can turn the lights on manually as well.

I installed this myself. I work in hardware so it is whatever you're comfortable with. I did need assistance from an electrician because the electrical service wasn't correct. If you're not comfortable doing it yourself you would need both.

I would think so since it is activated by the back-up lights being energized. Mine is hooked up w/ the back-up lights

You certainly can. Think of those big solar arrays...they are several individual panels connected in a system to provide a certain wattage of output.

You can. You'll have to manually program it for what you want to do though.

I don't think so. It works off of electricity and there's no manual switch available.
