Is the entire probe/cable assembly waterproof, or just the probe?

In my experience, the probe and the rubber covered wire are waterproof. I have not attempted to sink the housing with the battery.

Make sure you have tightened the probes tightly. I have used one for years and never had a problem.

The probe is stainless material. The readout and control box is plastic. Mine has been very durable.

When washing the device off under running water, yes the unit is sealed, however, there are two small vent holes, just behind the power button which should be covered with your thumb. As for your question, the scanning/detector part of the device can only be submersed in water which is about 4 inches. The entire unit should not go with you to the bottom of the river, lake, ocean, or swimming pool. The device meets IEC 60529 IP 66 dust and water resistance standards. Hopefully that answers you question. If the area in question is bigger than a normal size puddle or pothole just scoop out what you need to scan, place the material in a bucket with some water and power-up the detector...

The body is water proof. The solenoid leads are internal. Mine has only one value.

I don't see any issues... it is made of plastic (hence waterproof). The only concerns would be (i) the adhesive (you could reinforce it with a waterproof or more resistent glue) and (ii) the cables. Assuming your cables are waterproof I don't see any problem.

Hi, I don't know if the entire unit is waterproof/resistant. I've had the panel exposed to morning dew and it was fine, but I don't know if rain or water were to get into the usb connector if it would continue to function properly. It might be worth trying to DIY waterproof to the usb connector.Good luck...sorry I didn't have a straightforward answer for you.

It seems to be all waterproof. I ran it to an outdoor extension cord and it's been fine in Portland rain.

I believe it's water resistant, but not waterproof. There are double rubber rings on each connection, but personally I wouldn't try and take it under water.

You're right, it is only the cable. I've only had it a couple of months but it's out in the rain and sprinklers and no problems so far.

Yes, the probe (thermocouple) is sealed in rubber and should be waterproof.

The ports are in the back covered by a snap-on rubber cover. This is some protection from reasonable water/rain exposure. However I would not consider it water-proof and could be breached in excessive conditions. I advise the water-proof dive case and remote for extreme wet conditions.

I had heard it was waterproof but wasn't really sure until I literally took the plunge and put mine in water a few days ago and its still working just fine ... and it's keeping my keezer at a MUCH more constant temperature then strapping the probe to the outside of a keg ever did!!

Yes. Just make sure the probe cable doesn't touch any hotspots and isn't jammed in anything.

Maverick has a hybrid probe on their site for the 732 / 733. Part number PR-022 which is waterproof, but I can't tell if this is that part. Amazon usually has the part number in the description, but not this time.

yes, waterproof, and yes amp is included, as well as all wires needed for assembly

The cable is designed to be exposed to the heat. I've used mine in both the expected environment and on the Barbie.The unit has worked flawlessly. Just how is the unit "failing"? If the meat you're cooking is bone-in you need to be carefulnot to allow the probe to touch the bone. (Bone conducts heat more efficiently than meat and will yield a false reading leading toinsufficiently cooked meat.
