Enclosure/Box for LED7

[2Biz]

Yea, ran the wires out the back of the enclosure, up through the vac, then up into the dome. I can't remember if I drilled a new hole or used an existing one.

BTW, don't forget to install a mercury relay to handle the vac motor load.

2Biz, another question: what mercury relay do you use/like for the vacs?

Here is the mercury relay I use, its 24v from KR....Good for 30 amps.

Also a picture of how I have mine set up. Not pretty, but I added the transformers and relays over 5 years ago and haven't had the first issue.

That looks just like the top of my vacuums. I highly recommend that you use a 24 volt Mercury relay to control the power to the vac motors. The Mercury relay isolates the vac motor from the timer, if a motor should short out or fail the timer will not be damaged. In 20 years of using the Mercury relay on our vacuums I’ve never had a vac timer fail, the Mercury relay takes the motor load off the vac timer.

I use the 35 amp mercury relay, it's just a couple bucks more and it's even more underworked.

I won't take the credit for this one! Randy is the one who turned me on to this mod in the beginning!
