Regular maintenance will prolong the life of your Orbit electrical enclosure and ensure continued protection for your electrical components.

• Neteja: Periodically clean the exterior of the enclosure with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the powder-coated finish.
• Inspecció: Annually inspect the enclosure for any signs of damage, corrosion, or wear. Check the integrity of the screw cover and ensure it seals properly.
• Maquinari de muntatge: Verify that all mounting screws or bolts remain tight and secure. Re-tighten if necessary.
• Comprovació interna: If safe to do so (with power disconnected), periodically open the enclosure to inspect internal components for dust, moisture, or signs of overheating.

Resolució de problemes

Most issues related to the enclosure itself are physical in nature. If you encounter problems, consider the following:

• Entrada d'aigua: If water is found inside the enclosure, check the integrity of the screw cover seal, cable entry points, and any conduit connections. Ensure all fittings are properly sealed and tightened.
• Corrosion/Damage: If the powder coating is chipped or the steel is corroding, clean the affected area and apply a suitable rust-inhibiting paint to prevent further degradation. For significant structural damage, the enclosure may need replacement.
• Muntatge solt: If the enclosure feels loose on its mounting surface, re-tighten the mounting hardware. If the mounting surface is compromised, reinforce it or relocate the enclosure.
