I would say later this year, but by then I will have more gear planned to install.

My monitor panel arrived, but it is in San Antonio and I am in Baja California Sur, so, the installation will have to wait till I return.

I installed mine a week ago. Not too hard of a job. A wee bit of a pain installing and wiring in the relay due to the tight quarters of the water heater, but that's it.

OK. Just getting ready to install this monitor. My question regards confirmation of the relay wiring. Ignore the connections at the relay because I just placed the wires there for the photo.
Does this look like the correct way to wire my Suburban Relay 232948?

The wire you show going to the battery actually is the 120v ac wire
The black wire coming into the box goes on one side and the one coming from the water heater lands on the other. Afterwards just leave the switch on the front of the water heater on and control it from inside

Thanks Ken. I also successfully tested the relay with 12 volts and a meter. But, I wanted to confirm I was using the correct side of the 120v.
Much appreciated!!!

Fred, I’m having a problem with scale. It would help, if next time you post a picture, to include a bottle of beer for comparison..............
