EVICE
There are a number of steps that can be taken to protect the integrity of the unit:
•
Ensure wires and terminals are free from dirt before inserting wires into the
terminals.
•
For older model VW2106 readouts, check that the latches on the terminal block
are closed prior to closing the lid of the enclosure.
•
It is important to keep the weather seal free from dust and dirt to maintain the
water ingress protection.
•
Make sure the weather caps are secured before closing the lid of the enclosure.
•
Ensure the unit is dry before storing it to avoid damage from standing water.
