I noticed this does not have an on/off switch. Would it damage the device if I put a non-metal container over it

I do not know if it will damage it, but the unit will not work if you block the area where the sensoris located.I recommend you contact Contech to receive a correct answer to your question.

A non metal cover may disrupt the infrared beam and silence the ultrasonic alarm. Making it mute or easy for a cat to stand the sound

I am not sure what you are trying to achieve here. You can de-activate the device by taking the batteries out or it. Bobbie

Surely what this person wants is a way to disable it while working in the garden, for instance, so it doesn't drain the batteries as it goes off constantly. I wish it had an on/off switch for just that reason. I can't imagine any reason that it would harm it to temporarily disable it by putting a bucket over it.

No. The on off switch is on the part that is lowered into the water. best way to stop flow is just to lift it out of the water- it doe not appear to be damaged if it runs w/out water in it for a little bit. My guess is that was no on/off switch at the top to increase reliability and reduce the cost of the device.

The top should be on the off position. I think the light might blink while charging.

no on off switch. I use it in a 3 gallon plastic bucket. It must be filled pretty much all the way in order for the element to be fully submerged

If you leave it on and plugged in you will be fine. The on/off switch is a toggle switch.

I have not cut away the plastic cover but I agree with you that it is a little hard to use the device. I think that cutting off the plastic cover would make the device have a risk of breaking due to the fact that the sides hold onto the plastic cover and if there is not a plastic cover, the device may fall out and break.

You need to remove the case. I guess you could do it with the case still on but it would be so awkward and probably break the door to the plug....... it's not worth it. for all intents and purposes you need to remove the case. i bought a transend wifi sd card and a charger with 2 batteries to minimize how much i will have to take the case off. it works for me, maybe a deal breaker for you.

I'm not sure Barry, it probably turns off to protect itself. I turn mine off when it's not being used

I have the switch on mine also. I have never used it and do not know what it is for. It does not interfere with anything. Sorry I cannot be more helpful.

It is not mountable or at least not easily. No off switch just a switch for timer or on with no timer. to turn it off just unplug it.

Next to the on off switch, there is a hole of sorts on either side. A cord could be attached but it might interfere with the switch.

No..once you put the cover down, it automatically turn the switch to off....i think for safety purposes not to drain your battery or any power....hope this will help!

It is a NO switch. It is closed when the magnet is holding it closed, called a "closed loop" and opens when the magnet is removed (normally open)

No, it does not have an On/Off switch; it works plugging direct to outlet source. But I recommendit, is a very practical device. And comes with a surge protector too

Yes the off/on switch is covered but it makes no difference at all. It really is a great protection system for my Kindle. Going on 3 yrs no problems or issues.

Um you can either wear rubber gloves when touching it. Unplug it when you need to step over it. Don't touch it

Yes, just make sure and shut it off, go easy on the fluid and dont press down much at all with the tool. That screen is very delicate on.the nook.
