Can the sensor be immersed in water?

The sensor appears potted quite well. For severe duty it may be placed in a well.

Yes. I've been using it in a heated water bath. I'd guess about 48 hours of total use in average 140 degree Fahrenheit water without a problem.

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

No. I wish you could, but it's a pretty basic unit. I was thinking of experimenting with it by putting some translucent tape over the sensor to reduce its sensitivity, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. I'll post another review if I do.

I wouldn't put it in water. It is an inexpensive little item that is just bare bones and doesn't look waterproof to me.

You can but water ruins electronics! I don't know that much about it was a gift for my Grandson! He loved it! It will climb all over!

If it's going to be submerged yes. Otherwise not really. Squirt a little silicone behind it if you want

The sensor has a key hole on the back so it can be mounted on a screw or nail. NOTE, the sensor is not waterproof.

No man you cant ... even a water drop make sensor wrong.. paint will just imo do the same..

YES! However the unit must be in contact with the water or ice with no bubbles underneath. Recommend melting a small patch of ice on the surface then allow to freeze around the senser. electronics work better under cold. conditions less los in the from of heat.

no brother. you must put the sensor outside and attached to the hull of your boat.

I have used mine for swimming as it is water resistant to 50 meters. However, if the screen is wet the touch sensor that moves you between screens does not work without drying it off first. All in all, I've been satisfied with my purchase, though.

Yes, you could mount the sensor so that when the water rises to that level, the sensor would sound and you could respond before the water overflowed.

Fully immersed in water, absolutely not. They say it is moisture proof, not waterproof. I'm telling you this because I'm an electronics engineer, rather than from experience with the actual device.

I would not be surprised if it is. I use it to monitor the timing marks on my yamaha vx 1100 waverunner engine. It has excellent resolution. I never submerged it , but according to its design it may be waterproof.

Tested only in raining but worked well. I would not trust immersion in full water due to battery and how unit is pulled in for recharging.

I don't believe it can be immersed. I clean mine with a dish water cloth and rinse with water . no problems with that method

The heater and sensor are fully submersible, the digital control is not (I would assume).
