Hughes Autoformer and Progressive EMS

Nancyc7 · 04-25-2018, 11:26 PM

My question is about the arrangement of these items, not if they are necessary etc.

We have a new Hughes Autoformer with built in surge protection. We plug that in first as directed by the Hughes company and then the Progressive EMS plugs in to the Autoformer. The EMS goes in sideways.

Now we have this *weird lump of electrical equipment* we need to keep dry and off the ground. We can not install them, we have a 24 ft MH, no room.

Does anyone have a suggestion about how they handle these?
And not installing them permanently. Thanks!

This is the electrical mess I am talking about using a Hughes Autoformer and a Progressive EMS system together. Does anyone have a suggestion? [ATTACH]

Unfortunately, that is my recommendation.

I have both. The EMS is hard-wired. The AutoFormer goes outside, but I definitely want to install the AutoFormer inside, as well.

Since we are in Moab UT I wasn’t concerned about rain, we don’t have buckets/covers for them yet. Forgot about the sprinklers....

I don't have the autoformer but I put my EMS in a toolbox. You could put them in a tote for now that has a good cover but bets are off with sprinklers not spraying water up into a tote. You would need a pretty good sized box for the autoformer and not sure how much venting they need.

If I went portable and if I had a square bumper, I think I would mount storage boxes back there to put them into. Cut holes for the wires coming in and out.

Just use heavy duty black zip ties to keep them on.

[attach] this is our solution for now. The autoformer is under the slide.
