Preventing Possible Water Problems
To avoid damage to electronics caused by water when used on exterior applications, follow these instructions carefully.
1. Do NOT seal the cover and base together.
Keypads are designed to direct any water that enters the two constituent pieces, base and cover, towards the bottom and out a
drain or weep hole.
2. Use the supplied gasket for exterior applications.
3. Use silicone to seal wire runs and mounting holes.
4. Bend the wires before they enter the case to form a drip loop.
Water can follow the wires to the connection point of the circuit board and short out the terminals to which the wires are
connected.
