Maintenance
The most important thing to remember when maintaining your Outdoor Waterproof Switch Socket is to avoid water or dirt ingress. This can not only reduce the lifespan of the socket but also lead to a higher risk of electrical fires and power cuts.
First, use a protective box for your switch to help keep it dry and out of the elements. This can be made out of a variety of materials including plastic or metal. This will help to protect the unit from a number of factors including sunlight, rain, wind and dust.
If you do decide to put your switches and sockets in a protective enclosure, be sure to check that it’s well insulated to prevent moisture from entering the area. This will help to maintain the quality of the equipment as it’s exposed to harsh conditions, and in turn save you money on replacements down the line.
Second, it’s important to ensure that your switch and socket are installed correctly. Using a waterproof socket that’s not properly connected can be a recipe for disaster, so make sure to have a trained electrician install them correctly.
Finally, it’s worth remembering that not all switches and sockets are created equal. Using the right type of switch for the job can make a huge difference in your electrical safety and longevity.
The best way to determine this is to have a look at the product literature and ask your local installer about their recommendations. This will ensure you get a high quality product with the features and functionality that your business needs.
