Can I mount this unit outside to control a boat dock deicer, and put sensor in water?

I don't know if it should be mounted outside or if the sensor can be placed in water. I've installed mine inside in a temperature and moisture controlled area--with the sensor inside a conventional refrigerator. I suggest you contact Johnson Controls for more information about how to complete your installation.

The unit is definitely not sealed up for outdoor use, there is no panel to cover the power and sensor connections.

No. The actual control unit is not water proof. I ran irrigation wire to my LED light from the garage where the control unit is housed.

The unit comes with charts already built in and the resoulution is high. you also dont need to mount a receiving sensor as long as you dont bury the unit from the sky. I have mounted my unit on the dash of my center console. If you purchase the black box FF525 and a transducer it also becomes a fish finder. This is a great unit.

Sensor could be placed anywhere outside as long as there is an overhang or something to keep the rain and wet weather from directly hitting it. I love this clock and sensor. Works really well. We placed our sensor on the underside of our bow window any spot on your balcony with a little protection from direct rain. :)

The product will install outdoors, but must be mounted so that water will not pool inside the housing.

Probably not. Looks like connected on a circuit board. It won't activate with wet weather or splashes. Needs to be submerged under water to activate.

Yes, I use it as an outside siren. Do wrap it in plastic to shield it from the elements, like plastic shopping bags. As long as you sync it and the sensor to the master controller you should be fine. Just do according to written instructions.

Yes. I purchased 2 of these and set up one in my runabout and one in my Lund. That way I transfer the head unit from boat to boat. Worked out great.

I have a salt pool and my sensor is attached to the outside of the pipe so it works well. If you were to put it into the pipe, the bit that goes in is plastic so it should be OK as well.

Tom R., Yes, this unit may be mounted on the outside of a boat. No 8 watt is available but there is a 15 Watt (sp-1500). The ToolCritter Team

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.

Yes you can. They have tie down kits for that. But it is better to mount on the transom of the boat than the tolling motor. You take a chance of damaging the transducer if you hit bottom or rocks in the water. Hope this helps you. Good luck.

Yes, you can use it outside, depending on what you're using it for. It can only get wet if you put a clear, epoxy seal around the edge of the solar screen, but that may not protect any other areas that water may seep into. It was not made to get wet, or for wet weather. As far as working for boat batteries, look the company up on the internet and ask them that question. I LOVE mine and will buy another if this one gets old.

It should. The only thing I can think of that might interfere with the unit could be interference from the boat's electrical system - generator/alternator (see farm tractor question and answers). If the motor is off and the detector is not shielded it doesn't matter if you are on land or on the water it is not a phone it detects the energy from lightning.

It is not designed for that, and is not moisture resistant, so I would not do so. Units designed for outdoor use are designated as such by UL.

The sensor is waterproof, the dash mounted display should not be immersed in water

I'm afraid I didn't use it in a water environment, so I don't know. You might place the sensor in an airtight sealable sandwich bag, then tape up the spot where the cord exits.
