Hello all,
I’ve just purchased a CR234 repeater from Bill at www.homeautomationnet.com. BTW, excellent advice and the best place to shop on the net. Now I’m ready to install it.

Here’s what I think I need to do:

Turn off the main breaker
Remove the cover from the panel
Determine location of j-box and knock a hole in the drywall to run the wires through
Mount a j-box somewhere near the panel
Find a 240 breaker, connect two wires and run them to the j-box
Run a neutral wire to the j-box
Connect the wires to the CR234 and mount to j-box
Turn the breaker back on

Sounds simple enough. Keep in mind though that I’ve never worked on a breaker panel. A couple of questions come to mind.

What gauge wire should I use? 16 gauge?

Is there anything else I need to do be aware of as far as electrical codes, safety, etc?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Carter
