Can this unit be placed in the elements? Mounted to the bottom side of a trailer?

Yes, this is sealed to the elements. This should be placed where airflow is present for cooling also. The instructions suggest mounting flat and upright but I have mounted these sideways without any problems. I guess it should work fine upside down. Coat wire lugs with Vaseline or dielectric gel. Let me know if you have any other questions. Chris

It could be mounted on the outside. I'm not positive if its water resistan but If it is I'm sure it will probably rust a little. I have little tit on my windows and mounted it inside and it's extremely bright even through the tint!

This unit can be installed where ever there is room for it to fit. Install it flat, horizontal, vertical, etc. I doubt it is "trail ready" for a rough environment, though.Hope this helps.

Mine is mounted outside but in a covered location. I'm not sure if it weatherproof but I suspect that Square D can answer that better than I.

No. The inside unit is not built for the outside weather. You need he outside module for that.

I mounted mine in an outdoor waterproof enclosure. Works great. Stays dry. Don't mount it outside without protection.

Yes it can. Mine is supported on the wall towards the front of trailer (inside). It works great.

Yes it could be mounted to an exterior wall with anchors however, it is not a "weatherproof" exterior rated box.

Yes I have had one for 2 years mounted on a inclosed trailer out in the sun everyday and it has held up very well!

This unit would not be practical to mount on the outside of a door, particularly if expesed to the weather. Also, it could easily be removed, so there is a security problem. Technically, it could do that whiich describe.

I sure you can, but I don't think I would risk it. I know that they have a unit designed to bemounted outside and I believe the only differences are the unit is insulated to help ambient moisture to effect the interior electronics, weather protection, and the venting is direct, rather then a B-vent. One thing to keep in mind, a minium water pressure is very important for this unit to operate correctly.

Yes, it can be placed outdoors. The critical controls are protected by a clear plastic cover. Make sure your power source is fully grounded if you live in a wet environment.

I have ours inside the garage, but would imagine it would be fine outside if you were able to anchor it down. It has scew holes for anchoring.

Most if ours are under a metal roofed building without any issues .. we do also have one externally mounted

Yes it can. I am using mine on my carport and it is partially exposed to the elements.

If it were installed under an eave our other location not exposed to direct weather, I don't see why the metal housing wouldn't hold up. The units are well constructed.

YOu could frill a hole in the bottom/back and bring the supply in there instead of from underneath, or just bring your supp;y through the wall below the unit and then upwards through some flex. I do not believe this unit it rated for outdoor use (not waterproof, etc)
