Most of the devices I have seen have seals on them that are designed to
keep out cleaning fluids. The micro units almost are even shown in sale
literature with seals on them. I recall the larger ones were sealed on
top, not sure about the bottom, but I believe they must have been water
or solvent proof from the bottom.

In the case of the bare disk, I would be worried
about water getting
trapped between the disk and the unit's case and causing problems later.
Yes, good point. I did do some googling in the end (should have done
that first!) and some manufacturers seem to state that theirs are not
waterproof (perhaps the problem is with whatever is used to bond the
plate to the disc) - with that in mind, I ended up being careful not
to get this one wet, just in case. Thankfully the buzzer was at the
other end of the case (more or less) to the battery compartment.
All *seems* to be well now, other than the -ve wire from the battery
compartment needing replacing; the system powers up and seems to
"work" - I just need to remind myself how to play chess :-)
