Is this unit waterproof?

Hi there I would call it highly water-RESISTANT not necessarily waterproof. It does meet the IP67 waterproofing standard at level 5:Water jets Water projected by a nozzle (6.3 mm) against enclosure from any direction shall have no harmful effects. Test duration: at least 3 minutesWater volume: 12.5 litres per minutePressure: 30 kPa at distance of 3 m....So for most normal use by recreational boaters on the water, you should be fine.Cheers,ScottMaple Leaf GPS

Unless you are buying very Expen$ive Military Specification [MilSpec] gear nothing is actually "waterproof". It is weatherproof whereby water spray should not affect this unit. Looking at it, they have some very nice seals around the actual unit as well the keypad. I have had a fair amount of spray nit mine with no consequences. However, I would not dare even think about immersing it directly underwater.Dave

I've owned one since june of 2013, I'm on the Ocean every weekend and no less than twice a week. Iv been caught in the rain and had plent of salt water splash on the Standard Horizon unit with no issues. I wouldn't throw it over board and try to use it after but its worked well for me here in Maine.

Mine has had a lot of water over it and just keeps working, so it must be waterproof

Volffas, The manual that comes with the unit says it is "water resistent". I had the previous Standard Horizon model (CP 175) mounted under my dodger above the companionway for 8 years and had no water intrusion issues. Hope that helps.Jake Howard

This unit does not work anywhere so it does not matter if it is waterproof!

I'm not sure about the unit itself but your connections to a battery or another device wouldn't be. On the backside of the unit is a pocket with 2 USB connections. I only put it out when there is no rain in the forecast or it's with me. I have put it on the rear deck of my kayak in very calm water and a few drops of water haven't been an issue.

I do not think that the unit is water proof! You could install it under an over hang? I think that Amazon has outdoor motion detectors The screws on this particular unit are very hard to open, very small screw, I stripped most of them.

It is not waterproof, no "O" rings to seal working parts. Will resist moderate drizzle/rain, or at least mine has so far. Light is really bright for such a small unit. I suggest you invest in Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries. I know they are expensive, but they last a really long time in this unit. I got rid of the head band and used nylon cable ties to secure it to my safety vest.

Not at all. I've have it over a year and would buy another one. Love it for my garage. When it rains this unit is soaked and I'm amazed Ive never had a problem.

I don't think it is waterproof but I have used both parts of the unit outside with no problems.

I don't believe so. The connections for the wires are not protected from the elements. There's no evident attempt to 'waterproof' it. Great unit in covered area.

A good question!! Unfortunately I have not tested to see if it was waterproof. I am sorry.

Nothing on paperwork indicated waterproof, just that it is for outdoor use. When I installed it, I caulked around the edges of the back plate cover. I had one of these at another house and it is still there and works 15 years later.

I have just examined my unit and I would say "no". I don't have the manual handy but although I've used it in the rain I wouldn't expect it to be helped by total immersion.

The level switch is water proof but the control unit has holes for cooling and an opening for the alarm so if it was mounted in the weather it would fail.

No, but you may be able to bury the unit if its kept in waterproof housing. Check out a boat battery protector

The housing is not completely waterproof, but I would say it's water resistant. It has a gasket where the two halves of the housing meet, and the button to turn the system on is insulated and sealed.Bottom line, if it gets wet, it's probably no big deal, just don't go submerging the thing. I kept mine on my basement floor, right next to the bucket and my makeshift shower, and I never had an issue.

Yes it is waterproof. I mounted it on my ATV and used it outside in rain and snow to operate a winch.

Hi, I don't know if the entire unit is waterproof/resistant. I've had the panel exposed to morning dew and it was fine, but I don't know if rain or water were to get into the usb connector if it would continue to function properly. It might be worth trying to DIY waterproof to the usb connector.Good luck...sorry I didn't have a straightforward answer for you.

Yes. It is waterproof. I have used mine in the shower countless times. Works great.
