Can I use this bell outdoors

I haven't hooked it up outside, but I wouldn't if it's going to get rained on. Their are some bare electrical components inside that might arc. Though, they do sell enclosures for things like this at most hardware stores you could pick up for just a few dollars that would keep water out. That would solve that problem.

Not sure it's meant for outdoor use. I would think it would be fine as long as it doesn't get rwined on.

It is fine to use outdoors. However, if you use an extension cord you will want to make certain it is appropriate for outdoor use.

The unit generates enough quality sound to be used outdoors. The only potential problem would be the headset - which is probably no different from any other unit. The product comes with 3 microphones - a handheld one, a lapel one, and a headset that secures behind the ears which holds in place well. I would think the latter would work unless you do a lot of head movement.

I think they meant that the frame is plastic, I don't think the bells can be plastic, they would not resonate or ring like metal does. The sound would not be anything close to a bell sound.

you could use it outdoors, but I wouldn't without some protection. See e.g. http://compnetworking.about.com/cs/cablingcat5/f/cat5outdoors.htm

It can be used outdoors. However, it would work better in a shady location if you are using it lighted. I use mine indoors and notice when the sun hits the signs, the lights are not as noticeable. It is NOT weather proof so don't leave out in rain or other extreme conditions.

I had mine downstairs as we can't hear the bell when we're down there. It worked for a while but mostly whenever it wanted to. It literally stopped working for absolutely no reason. I would not recommend it. Hope this helps you.

The 15 ft tethered float switch itself is rated for wet installation, so yes, it can go outdoors. The alarm module will need to be installed indoors or in a weather/wet tight box if you intend to use it outside. If you will use it in that manner be sure the power receptacle is weather protected in the same weather/wet tight box. On a related note make sure the alarm module is located where it can be heard. Mine is in the lowest level of my condo in a room below the stairs, but I can still hear it on the third level when I tested the system. It works quite well. Bill, (end user and Mechanical Engineer)

It is electronic, so I wouldn't put it outdoors. However, please read all of the comments here: it doesn't work!! Don't buy it!

The bell has a very clear high pitch which is very easy to hear from a great distance in our shop which includes behind closed doors sometimes. I believe it would work great.

Depends on the type of bell. I was able to put a horn on my grandson's, didn't try a bell.

Yes, it's designed to mount outdoors. There are two holes in the base that you can use to secure it to something.

If you are not using it the bell shouldn't ring. No you cannot get rid of that feature, but unless you are using the item to cook something late at night, the bell.shouldn't ring.

Thanks for the question!The EXTERNAL in the description actually applies to the fact that this alarm is not a part of the original alarm but hooks up by wire to it. However, we have heard from many customers who do use it outside with no issue. WE suggest only using it outside if it is protected from the elements, such as under an eave.

I think the manual says it can be used outside. We have only used ours inside.
