Does the device have instructions saying has to be mounted outdoors?

It is fine outdoors...or in if you want. I have owned ours for several years and it still works great outside in Chicago year round.

It says clearly on the first page of the manual under "Warning risk of fire or electrical shock," "Install OUTDOORS ONLY" but doesn't say why.

It can be mounted anywhere there is a 110 VAC outlet available. There is no reason it has to be mounted outdoors. Be aware there is a slight 60 cycle hum when it is turned on.

No, it does not. It seems pretty water resistant, but there is nothing about restricting it to outdoors only.

It is an outdoor transformer but I don't think there should be any problem in mounting it indoor as long it controls the low voltage circuit.

No, I did not read that anywhere in the instructions, but then I was not looking for that answer, as I placed my unit outside on oour front porch, near the light set.

Instructions shows several ways of mounting the coupler: under eaves, on the mast, on a wall and on the floor with the input/outputs faced down. It appears it can be mounted outside, I have only used it inside.

The instructions in the box contains all the details. IIRC, it requires a NEMA 650 outlet with an outdoor cover (if installing outside).

Yes, I have mine mounted outside under the eves and out of direct weather exposure.

Yes, I purchased this item and it is mounted outside and looks great. It can be mounted to any surface.

While the unit does work well, I would NOT use the item in an outdoor application. It is not designed for un sheltered environments.

I would not install it outside unless you can cover the unit from the weather.

It is made of heavy duty plastic, so the unit itself would be fine for outdoor use, providing you have a wall or surface that you can mount it on.

IMO it doesn't seem like an outdoor capable. seems like a light duty thing...so I would not install it outside.

The unit should mount on the exterior of you home without issue. It has a protective flip cover that will protect it from the elements.

Yes, that's exactly where I have mine mounted. I mounted it on the side closest the street so you can barely see it from the street. Good luck. Kenny

It is designed to be mounted in a garage or shed. They make outdoor models if you need to put it outside.

It is designed to be outdoors, pole mounted, it is a sealed unit and should be fine.

The unit comes without installation instructions. There are instructional videos on Youtube on how to mount the unit at the following link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INL9RVTlLr4

i think it is not advisable to put outdoors. the outer built of the device is sturdy and solid, the inner parts will likely to spoil easily. i have 1 that broke down which i also do not understand why. and the battery compartments are loose, i had to place some blu tack to keep the batteries tight.

I'm not sure. There was no mention of this in the installation instructions. Mine is mounted on a door that is covered by a porch but the rain is often blown in. I have had not problems.
