How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Moisture inside an energized charger is hazardous. Turn OFF the breaker immediately and leave the unit de-energized until fully dry and repaired.
- 1. Open and dry:
- Carefully open the enclosure and allow it to dry completely in a warm, dry environment.
- Use a dry cloth to remove standing water; do not use heat guns directly on components.
- 2. Inspect seals:
- Check the door gasket for cracks or compression set.
- Inspect cable glands for tightness and proper sealing around the cable.
- 3. Replace damaged parts:
- Replace any compromised gaskets, glands, or cracked housing components with AMPROAD-approved parts.
- 4. Check for corrosion:
- Inspect the power and control boards for corrosion or residue; replace boards if damage is significant.
- 5. Reassemble and test: After ensuring the enclosure is fully dry and sealed, restore power and test operation. Monitor for recurrence after rain.
