OK - I have confirmation back from the manufacturer. The entier switch electrical or not electrical is made out of rot resistant PVC foamboard (yeez what a smart move - I have buiild a trainstation out of that matrial and it is 4 years now on the outdoors looking lie I put it out yesterday
) The motor version uses O-ring to protect against easy water intrusion, which is an identical technique that our switch motors are using.
But of course even with the best water protection I would still strongly recommend two things:
1. drainage underneth the switch area (1' crusher fines)
2. Cover in the winter, because melting snow is like working under water
Feel free to ask any more questions.
