Q: Is this controller outside mountable?

A: Yes, this controller is outside mountable, separating it from the many other controllers available. Mount out of the direct sunlight.This controller more than any other that I have seen is weather-resistant, it is encased in a hard epoxy resin and it says in the spec 1) "Mounted in a hard epoxy resin that offers substantial protection from the environment", 2) "Completely encapsulated for environmental protection (suitable for outdoor mounting)", 3) "Maximum environmental protection - ideal for outdoor mounting", and 4) "CORROSION: - The exposed terminal block is made of corrosion resistant nickel plated brass. This will endure most outdoor environments. When the ASC is in an excessively corrosive location, a coating of an oxide inhibitor should be applied to the terminals." and the housing/chassis is anodized aluminum and the unit has temperature compensation via the sensor.....

A picture is worth 1000 words...

These pictures show that the controller is actually a solid block inside the epoxy resin, sealing the moisture out!

$29.99 PULLS. These units are brand new pulls, new and unused, and the paint finish may have slight cosmetic imperfections (scratch, screw hole chips, or similar), but nothing affecting performance.

Hence, great price and super value!
