Is this unit waterproof so it can be mounted outside

The level switch is water proof but the control unit has holes for cooling and an opening for the alarm so if it was mounted in the weather it would fail.

The float section definitely can be positioned so it is exposed to the elements. However the main box is not waterproof. Built within some enclosure would probably make it workable.

No the unit is not designed to be weather resistant. You could however easily run an electric wire to up a 4x4 pressure treated post to an exterior outlet then mount the unit to the post and plug it in. Then make a weather proof enclosure around the outlet and the unit to make a weatherproof. Run your low voltage wires from the float/switch up the post to the unit and poof; problem solved! Good luck!

The control box definately is not. It is meant to be inside. You're at least going to have to build some kind of enclosure for it.

It can be mounted outside but recommends somewhere somewhat shielded. I mounted mine on a cross beam above the spare tire so it's tucked away. It does have air vents so not sure how water tight it is. Easy install.

Yes. It is an outdoor unit and cannot be installed inside due to ventilation requirements.

I doubt if it is waterproof. It could be used outside if you didn't need the light to work, however the base would have to be weighted.

It's an outdoor camera, but mine are mounted under the eaves. I can't attest to the weatherproof status of this unit if subjected to direct rain.

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

If you mean outside, NO, it is not waterproof. I have mine mounted on the basement cement block wall that is dirt outside.

Yes it is waterproof. I mounted it on my ATV and used it outside in rain and snow to operate a winch.

The outdoor sensor is waterproof but the instrument itself is not. I would not mount it where it is exposed to the weather.

Unit is NOT waterproof. There is NO provision for tripod mount, but you could fabricate a 1/4, 20 male/female mount using parts from a camera store & JB weld (two part epoxy) to attach mount to unit. Hope this helps.

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!

Not sure I would mount it outside unless it was enclosed. It would be very easy to disconnect and drain it for winter storage.

I have no experience on this. However, I do not think that the unit is for outdoor use. Please consult with the vendor. All the electrical stuffs are up on top of the unit; and the cover on top is not water or weather proof. I also do not know whether the walls will withstand the outdoor weather. Please note that there are units for outdoor use.

Frank, no the switch is not waterproof, there's approximately an inch opening on the back between the feet and the back of the unit (this is where the battery cables connect into the switch). The Battery cable connections would be exposed to the elements. The switch will work mounted outside, but I'd suggest putting a coating over the exposed battery cable wire/connection nut.

I purchased this light fixture and mine is mounted outside in my entry way. Works nicely! I would not mount it somewhere that it could get wet.

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.

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.
