The box is equipped with a pressure valve.
The function of the pressure valve - if the instrument box is exposed to temperature changes - e.g. the difference between day and night temperatures or if heat is generated in the box during operation and the box cools down after operation - pressure changes and water vapour condensation occur in the sealed box.
In some cases, a vacuum may even be created, which can cause dust and moisture to enter.
Installing a pressure equalizing valve is a very simple way to provide ventilation while preventing vapor condensation and dust from entering the enclosure.

Attach the coaxial cable to the transformer so that it does not hang by its own weight on the connector.
