TRX Pinpointer Now Waterproof!
- Thread starter coast40
- Start date
Good question. I bought one about six weeks ago. Wonder if it is waterproof? Has the same part number as the one listed on there website. If not I would have waited to get the waterproof one if I knew it was coming out. How can we tell if you got the waterproof one or not? say you buy one now is it going to be the waterproof one or old stock,they look the same. Hopefully someone can give us the answer.

I think the old ones were waterproof: they just needed to get the certification process done.
It would be nice if White's would make an official,statement though.

My guess is the certifying Gods had to put it through the testing process. Until it was certified, White's could only claim that is was weatherproof. 
I got it in an email announcement.
"Waterproof!
The Bullseye® TRX is now IP68 certified "Waterproof" to 10 feet. Go ahead, take it to the beach, use it in a creekbed, or even in the pouring rain. Plus, check out the "hidden" sensitivity settings and how to adjust."
Thank you, Whites!

The ultimate goal was for the TRX to have a waterproof rating.
There is a membrane where the speaker hole is and during testing this was changed out for a thinner membrane to allow for a louder beep volume but with the unit rolling out they did not get an official waterproof certification and so could not claim they were - hence the weatherproof rating.
The factory went ahead and had independent testing done to see if the TRX with the thinner membrane was waterproof, it was and it's waterproof down to 10 ft. The TRX was officially certified as waterproof with an IP68 rating.
What this means for you......
ALL production TRX's have the thinner membrane and all TRX's carry the same certified IP68 waterproof rating. It doesn't matter if you purchased the first TRX ever made or the most recently made TRX - They are ALL certified waterproof with an IP68 rating.
One quick note - if you get dirt or debris in the speaker hole do not use a foreign object to remove it or you could damage the membrane and nix your waterproof rating.
Hope that clears up some confusion!
