- Screw holes must be coated with sealant to prevent water penetration;
- The rear cover plate must be fixed with waterproof type fasteners;
- Wiring ports should be fitted with waterproof sleeves or sheaths.
6.Balanced design of heat dissipation and ventilation
- While waterproof, the internal components also need good heat dissipation. Suggestion:
- Install a reasonable ventilation system or heat dissipation window;
- Use waterproof but breathable exhaust valve to keep the balance of air pressure inside and outside the case;
7.Regular maintenance and overhaul
