2.2 Water Proofing and Strain Relief
2.2.1 Water Proof the Connection
This will provide moisture protection and keep the connections tight. Vecima Networks has provided a 6-inch length of
rubber self-amalgamating sealing tape to use on the OBR3500 network connection. To water proof the network
connection follow these steps:
Step 1
Use a 6" section of rubber sealing tape. Starting at the OBR3500 end, stretch the tape and wrap it around
the connector as close as possible to the body of the OBR3500. Overlap the tape by approximately one-
half of its width so that it can form a seal with itself. Extend the wrapping to approximately one-inch past the
end of the connector.

Step 2
Cover the sealing tape with electrical tape (not provided). Start approximately one inch further down the
cable, and stretch the tape, overlapping by one-half. Wrap to the OBR3500 end, then without breaking the
tape, wrap back down to the cable end.

Step 3
When done, the connection should be tightly wrapped with tape, with a good seal to the cable.
