So you're saying EM-172s are already moisture proof, Gene? We just need to =
seal the edges of the holes they're mounted in? Did you also provide any ki=
nd of shelter to avoid rain hitting the capsules directly?
I assume the strain reliefs are just a convenient method of mounting them, =
not an essential part of the seal?
