Frequently Asked Questions

What is the IP69K rating?

IP69K is the highest Ingress Protection rating, designed for products regularly exposed to high-pressure and high-temperature washdowns. It ensures protection against close-range, powerful water jets and is dust-tight.

What applications are suitable for IP69K products?

IP69K products are ideal for food and beverage, wastewater, pharmaceutical, marine, medical facilities, and medical equipment manufacturing applications.

How are IP69K products tested?

Products are dust-tight tested in an Arizona A2 Dust chamber. They also undergo high-pressure steam jet cleaning (1160–1450 psi) from 4 angles at 4–6 inches, at 176°F (80°C).

What are the benefits of IP69K products?

IP69K products reduce failures from water/dust ingress, increasing productivity and decreasing production downtime in harsh environments.

How does IP69K differ from NEMA Type 4?

IP69K protects from close-range, powerful, high-temperature water jets and is dust-tight. NEMA Type 4 involves high volume, low pressure water from a long distance.

What is the Federal Signal 371DST?

The 371DST is a Commander® Double Strobe Hazardous Location Light.
