Where does the power run into this box? Can I run the power into the top of this and mount it directly under my outside service box?

1st, i'm not an electician. i tried running it into the top was very difficult to get the "outlet" back in the box once wired cause the heavy gauge wire has to do a 180 turn in the box. I changed it to feed in from the bottom, wire the box 1st, tighten and re-tighten the wire connections several times cause they loosen, put the outlet in the box. Then you have the slack wire taken out of the box and then have it hooked up to the service panel.

I wud not cut a hole in the top & run a cable or wires thru the top because you don't want rain / water to enter the box. If you punch out a hole in the bottom, rain will not flow up into the box.

box is rain tight, no top mount , back or side.I did not use box my plug was to big to fit the cut out in the bottom

I mounted mine directly under the 50 amp breaker box that feeds it. If I remember correctly it had punch outs on both the top and the bottom.

Bob, I'm not sure what you mean by "outside power source". It plugs into a regular 110 volt wall outlet, or extension cord running to a 110 volt wall outlet. Hope this helped.

NO. This is a main feeder disconnect box only and not a service entrance box...................Although what Robert said below can be done, if a electrical inspector saw this arrangement you would have to redo it (FYI)

No, this isn't the unit for you. It needs to be wired into an electrical box, not an outlet.

Yes, if you can put it in some housing to protected against the weather. Also, the receptacle in the separate box is weather protected, but the connection between the two has to be weather appropriate. In addition the control box has to be connected to the main electrical panel. So, maybe the male receptacle in the weathered box should be on the outside and the control box on the inside?

The outlet has no GFI so using it outside even in a weatherproof box may be a code violation unless the supply feeding the outlet is a GFI breaker. You might need a phase link depending on what devices and phases are in use as the wireless signal to an external outlet might not be good enough. Hope this helps.

It does come with the 30 amp breaker and you can run the incoming power from either side which have the pop-out circle blanks. If your application needed from the back, I suppose you could drill the box, but I wouldn't recommend the top because of the moisture following the wire in. The power cord going out (to the RV, etc.) comes up from the bottom.

The power source it self is not waterproof,however if you keep it in or under a dry and cool area then yes you can use it out doors. You will have to waterproof the power source and your connection your self.Hope this helps and good luck

It's hard for me to intuitively know what you mean by a 'power box', but assuming you mean that you have line power to the shop, and If you know what you are doing, it ought to be straightforward. If not, get an electrician. It will be worth it to have been done correctly and to code (and safety).

I bought a 1500 ups back up and mounted it in a plastic marine battery case and slide it underneath the unit. or you can maybe enclose the bottom??? but it will have to be EXTERNAL

I believe you could. I mounted my outside near my deck and ran an electrical cord to it. It works great.

The Bosch box has an under cut space at the bottom where the power cable and the power input is designed to enter. I would think that a 90 degree elbowwould be hidden behind this undercut area under the bottom of the unit. The back of the unit has a steel wall mounting plate which could be drilled out butcould be tricky to line up with a user installed hole in the rear the unit. Good Luck

It plugs in to a port on the side of the power converter. My converter is under the cabinet in the kitchen area, so I ran the remote through a small hole I drilled in the cabinet and mounted it outside the paneling. The hole is covered by the unit.

No power included. Requires AC power from a bell transformer (such as you would have in a doorbell circuit.)

It fits in a standard electrical box. You must use a ground fault plug cover.

I have mine plugged into a PSU. This is likely the only way to receive power.

1 power source is if you have a standard outlet close by, where you will be mounting this unit, such as in your attic. If you plan to mount this unit outside near the main incoming line of your service provider, there is typically no power outlet nearby. You would then use the supplied power converter in a room of your choosing near a television and outlet. Using the supplied coax T, you could then power the unit outside your home via the coax cable that is already run out there. Basically, 1 input is if you have an outlet nearby, and the other input is if you plan to remotely supply power from inside your house to the unit outside where there is no outlet for power within reach. I did mine this way, and works perfectly.
