How weather resistant is the transmitter? Can it be placed on a fence where it would be rained on?

Our unit is in a protected area, so I have no direct experience. While the unit is exceptionally well made, I would hesitate to place it where water could settle into it. That said, this is the best wireless bell system that I have used among the six that I can remember owning.

I can't really answer that because I have it mounted under the roof overhang; however, it appears to me to be water tight --You could always mount it inside an upside down plastic container which would allow you reach up inside to push the button --This is a VERY good unit and has worked very well

BI do not know if the transmitter is waterproof, but if you call Dogtra on Monday they will tell you if it is waterproof. Battery is good for approx. 2 yrs...

I installed mine on a front wooden door. There is two screw holes on the back of the transmitter, with two screws included in the package. They provide very detailed instructions about how to mount the transmitter. Hope it can help you.

Hi Kelle, The transmitter is the center of the circle and the radius can go up to 90' or 180' across the entire circle. Your yard will need to be very flat and your house should have wood walls and there shouldn't be many trees if any in your yard. Hills of any sort, brick or aluminum siding and trees can cause the fence to have range issues in those areas. If you can set the transmitter in the very center of your yard it could cover a portion of it. Let us know if you have more questions. Thanks, EZDogFences

It has an electric control on it. So should be protected from rain. I keep mine on a covered porch out of the rain.

The box says "Weather Resistant". Resistant is better than "Proof". Looks like it can get rained on without issue. I have it on my Busa, but it's under the windscreen and stays dry, but it would be fine in any case except for immersion (the battery compartment is probably the weakest spot in terms of water penetration, or at least it would appear to be so.

Everything seems to be weather resistant as far as I can tell. Mine has been left out in the rain a couple of times and is showing no ill effects from it.

I mounted my transmitter on a exterior wall about 7' high near our driveway, there are knockouts on the rear cover that can be used for screw holes for mounting. The receiver is set inside about 75 feet away on a window sill.It works great. It should not be mounted on a metal surface.

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.

I would not leave this outside or expose it to water/high moisture conditions. I am not sure but would be surprised if it had any weatherproof indications.

It is designed to be used outdoors. I have not had an issue with it in the rain or the snow.

It is by no means a truly weatherproof, rigged antenna. But it certainly can be placed outside while you are using the unit. BUT - about the same reception will be attained if you just place this antenna near a window.

The manufacturer says no. Mine is on an external pipe but it is essentially sheltered from any rain. Works great, easy to install, but I wouldn't put it anywhere wet.

Johnathan, let me make a clarification to my earlier comment. Technically this enclosure is rated NEMA 3R. But in the spirit of your question your were trying to determine if this device could be USED in the rain. The direct answer to that is an unequivocal NO as the NEC, National Electrical Code, specifically forbids it. While it can be mounted on exterior surfaces it only meets NEC requirements so long as it's cover is closed. Covers such as Hubbell's TAYMAK addresses this situation for standard devices - outlets and switches. I do not know if they manufacture one for this particular purpose. Just shield it as I suggested earlier or mound it away from any direct exposure to the elements. Good luck!

Great mine are outside also. We purchased a small acrylic box at the dollar store. Any size would do. This is one heck of an item for the price. You will not regret purchasing it.I think I misunderstood. The transmitter can not be placed outside. But the sensors can be. I am not sure if the transmitter could withstand the outside without protection. Direction tell u not to put them outside. I am in Fl and the sensors are exposed to the heat, sun, etc. enjoy it

Don't see why not. Providing the unit is in an enclosure that is protected from rain.

It has a microphone, so I would not expose it to rain. It won't last and you will be disappointed.
