1. Always weatherproof all exposed connection points in your wireless system
2. Wrap vulcanizing and quality electrical tape around all exposed connectors
Wrap all exposed connections with rubber vulcanizing tape completely
Cover all vulcanizing tape with quality electricians tape; i.e. Scotch Super 88 Vinyl Electrical Tape
The electricians tape prevents UV breakdown of the rubber tape
