I installed the hardwired version under our dinette seat since the panel/converter was mounted on the end. If there is a problem, I just need to lift the cushion and plywood off. I also got the remote readout because the EMS is mounted vertically and wouldn't be able to see the display on the case. I mounted the remote on the floor.
The blinking display is pretty annoying. We have enough LED displays in the kitchen/living area that provide enough night lighting - blue and green. Adding a red display would look like Xmas and miake it too bright...
Personally I don't like the design of the remote display as it's meant for service mounting only. I'd rather have one that would fit on a standard sized flush mount outlet box cover if I were to mount it on a wall.
I'll probably mount the remote inside an upper cabinet where it's easy to get to. I don't need to see the voltage reading since we have a permanently mounted LED display on the wall which is the important one to keep an eye on. The cable that comes with the remote is something like 20' long and is a few feet short of my preferred mounting location at one end of a line of cabinets.
If I wanted an LED readout with AC volts
and amps I'd look at something like this DROK item which doesn't blink either (around $20 on Amazon & ebay).
I really like our PI EMS. It shut us down at one CG this season with simultaneous open ground and low volts. These things are worth every penny they cost.
