Where are IP69K products typically used?

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

How does IP69K protect against elements?

IP69K ensures protection from close-range, powerful, high-temperature water jets and permits no ingress of dust.

Is the 371DST suitable for hazardous locations?

Yes, the Model 371DST Commander® Double Strobe Light is categorized for hazardous location applications.

What benefits do IP69K products offer?

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

How does IP69K differ from NEMA Type 4?

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

How is IP69K dust protection tested?

Products are dust-tight tested in an Arizona A2 Dust 2kg/m³ chamber for 6 seconds every 15 minutes for five hours.

How is IP69K water protection tested?

Water protection testing includes high-pressure steam jet cleaning, water sprays of 1160–1450 psi every 30 seconds, from 4 angles, 4–6 inches away, at 176°F (80°C).

What other certifications do these products have?
