Is the SRM system waterproof?
All SRM Systems are designed to be waterproof, under normal operating conditions, except SRM track and the SRM Science PowerMeters. The PowerControls (red boxes) for all systems are designed to be waterproof. What you as an owner or user can do: • Don’t use degreasers or solvents to clean the PowerMeter or the PowerControl. • Never use a high pressure-washer to clean the PowerControl or PowerMeter. • During transport (car rack): • Remove the PowerControl (red box) and place in a safe place. • Cover the PowerMeter (crank) with a plastic bag, to help ensure Water (rain) isn’t applied at 120 km/h. Maintenance to be performed. • Grease the plug(s) at the bottom of the PowerControl regularly to keep water from corroding the wire contacts. • Check the chainring bolts for tightness as the clamping of the chainrings applies pressure to the plastic lid, sealing it against the rubber o-ring inside.
