It took about 15 min. Couldn't be easier. Getting a +12v line there took the longest. I just zip tied the alarm buzzer/light to a large gauge grounding wire that was down by my water strainer. So that made the connections very easy. Putting the sensor on the exhaust took 60 seconds. I also tied it into my Actisense EMU-1 so that it would alarm on my N2k displays. J.R.
