HowTo: SSR Enclosure using extension cords
( Bill Adelsberger)
Step 1 : Overview
|
| | This HowTo illustrates the basic steps to enclose a four channel SSR board in a weather resistant single gang blue box.
This design uses extension cords to connect the lights and the electronics sit on top of an 18 inch metal base made from 1/4 threaded rod that is simply stuck in the ground. The base helps to protect the electronics from problems caused by rain and snow; both are common to my area during the Christmas season.
This first picture shows a completed enclosure in front of a small maple tree. The diameter of the tree trunk is approximately 6 inches.
Warning: The wires and circuit contained inside the enclosure have 120 volts present. Contact with 120 volts can cause serious harm or even death. Use of any information contained in this HowTo is at your own risk. It s also your responsibility to satisfy local electrical safety codes and regulations.
