Is the sensor rated for winter weather?

Just got mine at the tail-end of this cold, snowy winter and it performed just fine!

Should be unaffected by weather. Mine worked fine through all 4 seasons included rain, snow and an ice storm.

I mounted the outside sensor to the frame around my radiator. It may register warmer than normal when sitting but once my truck is moving it is pretty accurate. I mounted the inside unit on the center portion of my dash a short distance above my center console.

No, but that's why I bought it.The other units I had required frequent battery changes. I have this in my garage and it worked all winter (-20 and worse temps)!

Not sure of the rating but ours were installed 4yrs ago and this winter when we dipped down to 8 degrees (32 in the building) they went out. One didn't come back and I'm replacing it.

It worked just fine for me. Installed the sensor and programed per owners manual.

This is my second winter using it and I love the thing. As far as I'm concerned it was worth the price. I haven't had any issues with mine.

It has worked fine in the cold and I'm in North Idaho. Battery life is reduced, but that would be the case for anything that uses batteries. As far as water resistance goes, I've tried to keep it sheltered so I can't tell you.

The winter package isn't on my unit. You have to buy it separately. Ask your local installer whether you need it in your climate. Mine worked fine in 30-35-degree weather.

I bought this metal detector for my wife as a Christmas present. We live in minnesota where there is still 3 feet of snow on the ground so she hasn't been able to use it yet. I'm sorry I can't help but I haven't even really looked at it

As far as I know cold, rain and snow has no effect on their performance. I have not observed any diminished ability to detect motion to alert us to motion. I have been using them outside for 8 years or more. They use very few 9v batteries and have had no failures. Good equipment.

I don't know. I leave mine on all winter. It has a thermostat that clicks on when the temperature reaches 34.

Hi..unfortunately I just purchased this and have not had our winter as of yet. I would not feel comfortable assuming how it will do.

It is weatherproof. It's very energy efficient. However, if there is a lot of snow build-up on the sensor, then it will not work. I have found, it works best if it is located in a, somewhat, protected or covered area. Under an awning or on a porch area....hope that helps.

I don't think the cold will impair the workings of the timer, provided it is kept out of the snow and rain. That is just an opinion based on looking at its construction. John D

False alarms are few. We have a pretty good population of White Tail Deer, that set it off once or twice a week. Leaves Rain,and wind, doesn't seem to bother it at all. The sensor is mounted to a tree in the edge of the woods. Works great there. Don't know about the snow, because in Eastern South Carolina not enough snow to mention.

This a wonderful gadget. I don't think you will be disappointed at all. The only problem we had was snow blowing into the sensor window during a bad storm.Wiping it out fixed it.

Yes. It seems to work well in all weather but we have not experienced a snow storm so I cannot attest to that.
