Can this be installed outdoors (where it'll get rained on)?

I have only used it to get my 100 lb. lab in my SUV, so I cannot answer the outdoor use question.

It's the only place we've used it. I have had to sweep the snow off of it a few times but our 24 pound dachshund has no problem getting up and down. I have no reason not to recommend this product.

I would think so. I bought it to help my dog get in the car, but it did not work for me so I ended up sending it back.

This particular fixture is an outdoor fixture and will have no problem in the rain. Unfortunately this fixture only comes with a day/night sensor and is not available with motion built in.

No. The inside unit is not built for the outside weather. You need he outside module for that.

yes but you would need to have it in a dry location where the rain wouldn't not get into the system

mine is mounted in front of the radiator off to the side up high....i do not think its water proof ...no problems during heavy rain so far

I would not use it outside unless you would take it in when it rains. The bottom is a tray which would catch the rain.

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

I would say possibly.., ONLY if it was protected from direct moisture..and directly from the top and sides..,I wouldn't chance it getting wet, although it is constructed pretty well I don't think water and this would last too long. It's a expensive up front unit..although the payoff is great. I would have it loosely "enclosed" in some sort of housing that would protect it from the rain, let it breathe, if you will..-I know they advise against this- it may be a heat sync issue- burnout,But, take a chance possibly, if you like, it's all new. .I will at some point ..

I have 4 of them located outside. They are not actually for this purpose, but I have had mine installed for 2 years and no problems. Just make sure you locate them in a dry (rainproof) location. I have mine under the eaves of my house.

I'm not sure. If it's a covered area, I think it would be ok. I'm not sure I would put in where it would have direct contact with rain.

It would be subject to freezing in cold climates, otherwise I do not see a reason why it can't be installed outdoors. The plastic housing would likely degrade over time in direct sunlight so a shady location would be better.

Mine is used indoors so I really can't say. The unit itself would not be affected by rain but the plug and outlet the unit is plugged into may be an issue.

I'm not sure. There was no mention of this in the installation instructions. Mine is mounted on a door that is covered by a porch but the rain is often blown in. I have had not problems.

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!

Not sure. Mine is installed in my boat where rain can't get to it. It works great but I can't answer your question about being installed where rain can get to it.

I have mine under an awning, so it gets rained on a little and still works. It's technically outside, but I wouldn't call it waterproof.

I would not think so. The unit is well built and fairly robust, but it has openings for the enclosure vent fan and panel slides. I would not use mine in a rain event.
