can this unit be left out in the elements or must it be put into a water proof setting?

It is designed to run outside, but it is so small I would cover it to shield it from rain or snow.

I don't think so but you might try contacting the manufacturer. They are very helpful and might tell you it is ok.

Mine is outside with a small roof over it to keep the rain water off the motor

Ours has been sitting out in the elements...in the south florida sun ...doesn't seem any worse for wear...

As long as you use liquid-tight conduit and fittings, it is fine to leave it in the elements. I modified a large plastic irrigation valve box to cover mine though. I can never hurt to keep water out.

The base unit is a little black box that doesn't have the tightest seal so I wouldn't put it too close to wet areas. Probably best if you put it in a cupboard or fasten it under something.

I have left mine in the rain with no problems. I put mine in our storage building for the winter, just to protect it from the elements. I suppose you could leave it outside, but I personally don't think that is the best care for your equipment.

The unit is weather resistant so it should be fine in normal rain, but it is not water-proof, so it obviously shouldn't be submerged.

While there are no waterproof markings on the unit (I just checked), I don't think I would stick it outside unprotected. I think it would be fine if it was protected from moisture.

Rain and electronics do not mix. This unit is not sealed at every spot. Not even close. The knobs and connections will be exposed to the elements.

No, I would not leave it outdoors, but you could use it outdoors if there is NO chance of it getting wet.

I wouldn't leave them out in the rain or the elements - but if you have it by the pool and it gets a few splashes - OK. We love ours Still!

no, this is a entry level unit. not weather proof at all, but you can make a box for it so that its protected from the elements.

This unit is not water resistant or waterproof. At best you could seal the front with silicon To make it splash resistant but that's it. I would keep this away from moisture imo.

I'm not sure. The instruction read that it should not be used outdoors, so I would say close the vents. As long as water does not get into the unit there shouldn't be a problem.

This unit is intended to be used indoors. If you want to use it for an outdoor system it has to be in some type of waterproof container. Otherwise it's a great timer.

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 only problem as I see it is getting secure electrical power to the unit that's mounted outdoors. Then how do you protect the unit from the elements? My answer to your question is probably "NO"! Perhaps this manufacturer makes an outdoor unit to fulfill your need. Good Luck!

I live two blocks in from the water in a high wind, high humidity, high temperature location. Mine is out in the elements in an uncovered seting area. So far so good but I have only had it outside for one season.

If by that you mean "is it water proof", almost nothing electrical that isn't sealed is safe for outdoor use. On the other hand it is ruggedly built with an on-off switch to turn on-off electrical power. But I wouldn't leave it outside in the rain.
