Is this unit weatherproof ?

It appears to be, but my unit seems to have failed even though it was mounted inside the cab. It's stuck on 550 rpm, even when the engine is off.

I can only say that I have not had a single problem with these units on rental equipment that I know has been operated in the rain, as well as left out in the weather! At my business, everything is stored insided.

It seems to be pretty well sealed. The battery is non-replaceable, sealed inside the plastic molded case. The two control buttons and the LCD display are covered with a clear plastic film that should seal them completely if it is intact.

No, not to my knowledge. I have never seen a review or spec that states it is weatherproof. And my copy has no obvious seals or rings that would provide weatherproofing.

These units are not waterproof. They are sealed fairly well and might hold up as long as they don't get wet.

I've used mine in the rain many times, never an issue. The unit uses the ground pin on the outlet and has a breaker. I think they kept safety in mind with outdoor use.

This model is not weatherproof. youd need a self contained unit like this MOTORCYCLE AND CAR VEHICLE GPS TRACKER MOTORBIKE TLT-2H WITH FREE GPS TRACKING SOFTWARE BY @CHI

From what I saw, it is weatherproof but not intended to be permanently left outside. I left mine out in my backyard for a month and the hardware, screws, hinges, etc is showing signs of oxidation .

Yes, but shelter it from the weather. I ended up replacing two of them a month after warranty expired.

I bought and installed mine 2 years ago in an exposed outdoor location. I'm located in northern NJ and the unit is like new and works perfectly. It has survived numerous downpours, a few tropical storms, superstorm Sandy, several weeks of below freezing temps and several snow storms. Granted I shut that circuit off in the winter but there's been no evidence of wear and tear. I have it installed on a stake I've set in the ground so in winter I put a bucket over it to keep the snow off it. The box has no gaskets and isn't sealed up tight to make it weather proof. Whatever moisture gets in seems to easily find its way out. I was a little worried like you before I bought it but it seems to hold up very well.

I don't know if these are weather proof. I have mine inside my garage but I do know they sell outdoor boxes to mount timers in.

It is advertised as weatherproof. Mine is in my golf cart. The speakers and amp have been subject to indirect water from rain and drizzle, and I don't take any special precautions when I hose the cart out or give it an occasional thorough washing, including the amp.

Yes it is waterproof. The unit is encased in a heavy plastic case with substantial wiring.

It's supposed to be weatherproof. It's gone through the winter at my house and has definitely been rained and snowed on with no issues.

This particular unit is not, because it does not meet the National Electrical Code to do so. It is not sealed from moisture, and probably not protected from corrosion.

No. Not in my opinion, It has no real weatherproofing. It will need to be protected from the elements.

We have ours out exposed to the weather and have not had any issues with it. So I would say yes!

I am not sure if the unit is waterproof, I am guessing it has some water resistance built in but I am guessing if it was they would say it on the packaging.

the direct answer is no, it can't be exposed to snow, rain, or water ... i have used it for 2 christmas seasons with my outside decorations ... my fix is to cover the unit with saran wrap which keeps the outlets dry
