Can 500c monitor be turn on to set without being in water

If you are asking whether it can be turned on to set it up with out being in the water the answer is yes but you have to connect to the proper battery and follow the directions to take it off of the "auto mode"
214317
Yes, but you can only have a few options. The transducer needs to be in the water in order to work.
214318
Yes. It can be turned on even without the transducer, and it will go into demo mode.

I really cant tell you that, but I can tell you if you unplug the sending unit leave the power plugged up you can see the display you can check it from their

For setting the unit the transducer has to be in at least a few feet of water.

You will not be able to calibrate your speedometer without being in the water but you can set up just about everything else.

If you don't know, then you don't need it. Google is your friend, my friend. :O) I use mine to drive NOC screens for work. With another one, I built a thermometer with a USB thermistor to monitor our baby room temperature. Sends a text message, and a notification popup on our openelec/xbmc HTPC box if the crib temp swings beyond a set threshold. Nifty.

Yes, but I don't as I don't want to risk it. GPS wont work under water so essentially a stopwatch. My bro sent me here for more infohttp://www.dcrainmaker.com/2009/09/garmin-forerunner-310xt-in-depth-review.html

The sensor can be located in any environment but the display itself should be in a relatively dry and protected location. The case is not weatherproof, and the battery contacts should be protected from humidity and airborne contaminants, ie dirt.

You can set it up to do that, but I haven't. I really like using the monitor.

Yes but it has temp control to turn on & off at 40 or higher if you wish. I have left it unattended in my pump house all winter.

you should be able to. I don't think there is a temperature limit on the sensor.

Yes, you can set it so that lets say when it reaches 70 it will alarm you or when your child isn't a newborn anymore and temp isn't as much of an issue you can just turn the whole temp alert function off. We have used this unit since my son was born 2 1/2 years ago and have no complaints. The only minor thing is that the battery life when the monitor is off the base isn't super long maybe 5 hours or so which really isn't an issue its usually only because I forgot to put it back on the charger not that my son is napping for 5 hours, I wish!!

sorry, it has been so long since we hooked it up i forgot. There were 2 hot wires going to the monitor, one did not go on automatically so i used the other. The unit works well, after several months.

I make sure the screen is fully submerged before I turn it on. I never used it when the screen wasn't fully submerged.

The answer is between probably not and definitely not. The cabling and the battery are all inside the 'Weatherproof' case. The unit itself may be waterproof but the connections (wires to transducer and battery) would not be happy submerged in saltwater. If the whole thing took a dunk you would want to wash it all off with freshwater and check everything. Too much time if it happens every trip. I would opt for something more self contained.

Definitely cannot be used direct in water. You can use Aeon Labs water sensor which has a probe on the end of wire and can be kept inside while the device is on dry area. In addition, Aeon sensor indicates lack of water as well.while enire

No not at all. If you want to go above 140 deg. you need a optional controller. This controller can be remotely mounted so you can have greater control over the water temp.

YES!! You just have to disable "power on w/monitor" in the general settings.

No. if you use a separate controller, which I do, then it can be easily adjusted to the temperature you want. I use the Ranco ETC-111000-000 Prewired Digital Temperature Controller (ETC-111000-000W) from ETC Supply.. They can also supply an extra length sensor wire and also install heat shrink tubing for underwater use. As far as a automatic timer for the different temperatures, I don't know about that.

Hello, I'm sure you could set it up as an "automation" that would trigger the strobe alarm when water or a set temperature was reached. This device will send a text when water is detected or a set temperature is reached, either hot set point or cold set point. Hope this helps.

Yes they can. Although the dial out when it alarms is vague about whether the water or motion is alarming. It tells you the current temperature and if the power is on, but if the water or motion is alerted then it only says something like "accesory alert". Still an awesome set up.
